In “Pray It Away,” Chlöe gets in touch with her spirituality and seeks the help of God to fight the temptation of getting revenge on an unfaithful ex-partner with the gospel-infused instrumental to empower her lyrics. This track also marks the lead single from Chlöe’s debut album, In Pieces.

On January 25, 2023, the single was first announced on Chlöe’s Twitter along with the release date and artwork:

1ST PIECE. #PRAYITAWAY. JAN 27TH. 🙏🏽🫀

The following day, on January 26, 2023, a snippet was teased in a TikTok video, along with a teaser taken from the In Pieces' video shoot.
