Originally produced by Danny L Harle and written by Rina, Danny, and Jonny Latimer, the powerful ballad is an emotional ode to her LGBTQ+ family with the new version also featuring Elton John�s iconic vocals and piano playing.

The powerful ballad explores the concept of a chosen family through a queer lens - highlighting the many members of the LGBTQ+ community who have been ostracised by their family, friends or community after coming out find love and comfort in their new 'chosen' family.

Speaking on the track and Elton's involvement, Rina says: �It was such a joy and honour to rework Chosen Family with the legendary Elton John. The song means so much to both of us, and recording it together was such a special experience I will never forget. I got shivers when I heard his voice through the monitor and became emotional when he added the piano parts. Elton has been such a huge supporter from before the album, and when we finally met to record this song we clicked from the get go. I hope people can hear the magic!�

Last year saw the release of Rina Sawayama's debut album �SAWAYAMA� and deluxe version which featured production from the likes of Clarence Clarity (Exec producer along with Rina) and co-write from Nicole Morier (Britney Spears) and Kyle Shearer (Carly Rae Jepsen). Rina�s debut album has been recognised in prestigious end of year round-ups including The Line of Best, Rough Trade, NPR, The Skinny and more.

Earlier this year it was announced that after a number of discussions with the BPI, which came as a result of a VICE article about the Mercury Prize eligibility last year and vocal support from Elton on the issue, Rina pioneered the changing of entry requirements for the BRIT Awards and The Mercury Prize rules meaning that artists who have lived in the UK for over 5 years are now eligible to be nominated.
