Heidi explained that she and her producers were thinking about what to do for the next season of Germany’s Next Topmodel when they suggested she record a theme song for the show.

“I’m always up for a challenge. I’m always up stepping out of my comfort zone, doing something different. Then they said, maybe do a duet,” she said. “I was like, ‘Snoop Dogg, of course. Anyone who knows me knows I love hip-hop. Working with Snoop Dogg has always been a dream of mine. I called Snoop Dogg and said, ‘You’re on the top of my bucket list’ and told him the idea. He was like, ‘Let’s make it happen.’”

She continued, “I got together with [producing duo] WeddingCake and we recorded some stuff, including me singing an homage to ‘Baby Jane’ from Rod Stewart over the track. Fast forward and I’m in Inglewood and played it for Snoop. He went right in the vocal booth and started rapping. Three days later, we mash it all up together and we had ‘Chai Tea With Heidi.’ This literally is like, one of the most exciting things I’ve ever done.”

As for whether she’d consider releasing more music in the future, Heidi said: “In the past, I would have always said, ‘Maybe not at my age anymore.’ But everything is changing in the world. Even on Topmodel in Germany there was always a height, a measurement, an age, but now this new season that I’m filming at the moment, my oldest model is 68. I have all different sizes, from super short to super tall, young to old and everyone in-between because I don’t want to be ageist, size-ist, anything. I want to open the doors for everyone. But I will always continue singing. My poor husband has listened to it all the time, but I don’t think that this will be my next career.”
