(Coming Over Tonight by Chuck Fender and Cherine Anderson.)

With lyrics like that and a hot video to support it, it is no wonder that speculation is rampant that Chuck Fender and Cherine Anderson have become romantically involved.

However, both Chuck Fender and Cherine Anderson have strongly denied that there is any truth to these rumours.

"A jus strictly business, nutt'n like dat. Mi jus a embrace her musically, but wi jus haffi keep focus pon wi career an mi done involved already. Di only time mi si ar a when wi have a performance or when we have something to do pertaining to the song, but outside a dat wi nuh even really talk," Fender told THE STAR.

Cherine support Fender's claim. "It doesn't go any further than that, my personal life is something that I keep personal and there is nothing going on between me and Chuck Fender," she said.

Cherine says Coming Over Tonight "is a wonderful love song and we wanted people to know that you can guh to a dance an bubble pon yuh partner an feel nice and the music video was just an enactment of that. People need not forget that I'm also an actress and I don't separate acting from video, and if people take the video much further then we've achieved the point."

Fender says the song came about out of his personal experiences, as he explains, "being on the road, more time my girl wi call mi an a seh if mi nah come home yet or even when wi guh pon tour, she always pressure mi pon dat an mi seh bwoy mi really haffi do a song pon dat. Both man an woman can identify wid it still, cause a whole heap a man girl a call dem a ask if dem nah come home."

As to Cherine Anderson's role, Fender says it was like "Jah work".

"We had Alaine in mind, but it neva really materialise an Birch seh him have somebody and it was Cherine. It jus come in like prophecy cause it sound good an it really boost ar career," Fender said.

He added, "There's a chemistry still yuh nuh, an if di people dem seh dem waan hear back a nex song wid me an Cherine, Jah wi gi mi back another inspiration, but anything di people dem seh, wi deh yah fi mek music fi di people."

While Anderson has not ruled out the possibility of doing another collaboration with Fender, she says her focus right now is on her next single, Kingston State Of Mind.
