JoJo Siwa has nothing but love for boyfriend Chris Hughes.

"The inspiration behind that is my very sweet love Christopher," Siwa, 22, tells PEOPLE exclusively.
She continues, "Well, our lives connecting and meeting are like serendipity. It's my favorite word, so I had to write a song about it."
When asked what keeps their relationship strong, Siwa says it's matter of knowing when it's "right."

"I think that when it's meant to be, it is, and when it's meant to be, it'll be right," she says sweetly.
"Serendipity" — which is set for release on April 7 — follows her latest single "I'm Still Dancin."
Siwa and Hughes first became friends while starring on Celebrity Big Brother UK in April 2025 and grew closer after the show ended. The "Boomerang" singer confirmed in June that they were dating.
“It’s not platonic anymore, and it’s been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I’m absolutely head over heels for him, and he’s the same way,” Siwa told U.K. outlet The Guardian on June 2.
In December, Siwa opened up about hopes for a future proposal in an interview with The Sun's Fabulous Magazine. At the time, she joked that if Hughes, 33, hadn't proposed in seven years, she might take matters into her own hands.
"You always get people who get engaged [at] Christmas. You see it on Instagram, every year you're gonna see somebody who gets engaged. I kinda like the idea of it not being at a time where it could be expected," he said.
She jokingly replied, "Alright, you’re keeping me guessing, aren’t you?" before asking, "But what if I got him a ring?”

Hughes then said he would be "uncomfortable" if he were proposed to rather than being the one to pop the question.
Weeks later, in January, Siwa showed off the Cartier Love Ring he got her for Christmas. Later than month, she posted a photo of herself wearing a veil on Snapchat.
Siwa wrote over the image, "Call me a wife."
At the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special premiere, which was held at El Capitan Theatre, Siwa also opened up about the impact the fictional character had on her life growing up.
"From the beginning, the whole reason why I wanted this to be my career and I wanted to be in the spotlight and in the public eye was because of Hannah Montana," she says. "From the time I was 2 years old, 'What do you wanna be when you grow up?' Hannah Montana."
