Dakota Johnson's Voice Reportedly Heard on Role Model's New Track 'Love I You'

Role Model's real name is Tucker Pillsbury, and he debuted the track Love I You during a late-night Chicago show, underscoring a real collaboration beyond dating rumors.
Dakota Johnson was seen in Los Angeles on July 29 wearing a black D.A.R.E T-shirt, fueling ongoing public interest in her outing amid romance speculation.
Dakota Johnson’s mother, Melanie Griffith, has weighed in on the romance rumors, adding a familial perspective to the public conversation surrounding the pair.
Role Model performed Love I You in Chicago on July 30, marking the public premiere of the track while it builds toward the album release.
Love I You is slated to appear on Role Model's upcoming album Chuck Timely & the Hourglass, with the release date set for August 7.
A fan-recorded clip from Role Model's July 30 Chicago show has sent the internet into a frenzy. The clip features a female voice on his new track "Love I You" that fans and outlets say sounds like actress Dakota Johnson, according to People and Just Jared.
Neither Johnson nor Role Model — whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury — has confirmed the collaboration. But the track is set to appear on his upcoming album, Chuck Timely & the Hourglass, due August 7, and the buzz is already massive.
Role Model debuted "Love I You" live in Chicago on July 30. A fan-recorded video circulated quickly online. The clip features Pillsbury's lyrics paired with a playful female voice trading flirtatious lines, including teasing banter about fame and a character called "Mr. Big Night," according to Hungama Express.
Multiple outlets say the voice sounds like Johnson. Just Jared reported that the voice notes are woven into the track as a conversational layer, creating an intimate back-and-forth. No official credits have been released yet.
Johnson and Pillsbury were first publicly linked in December, according to People. Reports of a kiss surfaced in April. The pair has been spotted together multiple times, keeping romance speculation alive for months.
Johnson split from longtime partner Chris Martin in June, Yahoo News reported. Since then, a source told outlets she was ready to start dating again. Her mother, Melanie Griffith, has also weighed in on the romance rumors, adding a family angle to the ongoing public conversation.
Chuck Timely & the Hourglass is built around a character named Chuck Timely. The album explores themes of time, stagnation, and personal growth through that alter ego lens. "Love I You" fits squarely into that idea — the song's conversational format echoes the tension between moving forward and staying stuck, according to People.
Using Johnson's voice notes adds an intimate, real-world layer to that concept. It personalizes the track and fuels fan curiosity at the same time. The album drops August 7, giving fans a short wait to hear the full version.
On July 29 — one day before the Chicago show — Johnson was photographed in Los Angeles wearing a black D.A.R.E. T-shirt, according to Just Jared. The sighting landed in outlets alongside the track news, keeping public attention fixed on her every move.
The combination of the LA sighting, the Chicago debut, and the uncredited voice on the track has kept fans guessing. For now, the collaboration and the relationship both remain unconfirmed — but the August 7 album release may clear things up fast.
