Raye twirled vigorously in a hot pink dress as she shut down east London to film an exciting new music video on Tuesday.
The singer, 28, braved the freezing cold weather as cameras rolled on the movie set in Walthamstow.
Just last week, Raye clinched the first number of the 2026 UK singles chart for her hit track Where Is My Husband!
And Raye proved she’s not slowing down anytime soon in 2026 as she made a high-energy spectacle.
Powering through the minus temperatures in the snow and rain, Raye wasted no time in dropping another track and video.
The hitmaker was joined by her backup dancers as they danced animatedly in the streets wearing vibrant looks.

Excited locals were shocked to see the singer, with some peeking through windows and the postman ‘stopping in his tracks,’ according to reports.
A source said: ‘While most people stayed at home because the weather was so cold, Raye was a total trooper and got to work on a big, top-secret new video.
‘The project was shrouded in secrecy and residents on the road had only been told the street was being shut for filming. No one knew who the star was.’
They added to The Sun: ‘It was so cold out there but she was dancing and singing in this velvet dress like a total pro. There was a fake zebra crossing drawn on the road and she was skipping over it.’
Raye marked her chart triumph of Where Is My Husband reaching number one by celebrating in dramatic style at home last week.
Wearing a very glamorous grey feathered gown, the singer-songwriter clutched her shiny trophy and let rip with joy.
Sharing a slew of pictures to Instagram, the singer beamed as she hugged the award to her chest, while another showed her punching the air and screaming in delight as she held the prize up high.
A third image captured a quieter moment, with Raye smiling through closed eyes as she cradled the trophy, clearly soaking up a long-awaited victory.

The star has now officially clinched the first UK singles chart Number One of 2026, with the hit track finally reaching the top spot after a 15-week climb.
The moment marked a major breakthrough at the start of the new year, following months of building momentum, strong streaming numbers and viral social sounds.
The dramatic climb has seen the anthem stay in the charts for 15 weeks and become Raye’s second UK chart topping single, after her 2023’s smash Escapism.
The track, which is set to feature on her forthcoming 2026 studio album, also marks her 20th Top 40 single overall across her decade-long career.

She later spoke openly about feeling creatively stuck and sidelined during that period.

The move proved pivotal, allowing her to release songs on her own schedule and reconnect with fans without compromise.
Raye’s determination was laid bare in the second series of Louis Theroux Interviews, where the singer spoke candidly about the emotional toll of her early label battles and the sheer grind required to keep going when success felt out of reach.
Reflecting on that period, Raye said she ultimately just wanted ‘to be a person who’s in control of my life.’
Over the past few years, that resolve has paid off in spectacular fashion.
From critical acclaim for her debut album 21st Century Blues, to record-breaking wins at the Brit Awards and now a long-awaited return to the top of the singles chart, Raye’s journey has become one of pop’s most talked-about comeback stories.
