Roan goes country

Friday, March 14, 2025 – Pop star Chappell Roan has gone country - for one song anyway. The pop giant, whose career has soared in the past year, released the song "The Giver."

Roan employs banjo and fiddle on the tune.

Roan enjoyed massive success with her 2023 disc, "The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess." She had hits with the songs "Good Luck, Babe!," "Hot to Go!" and "Pink Pony Club." "The Giver" is her first song since "Good Luck, Babe!" came out last year.

Roan posted on Instagram, "@dan_nigro and I wrote this together and it was so fun!!! We've never done a country song and I have such a special place in my heart for country music. I grew up listening to it every morning and afternoon on my school bus and had it swirling around me at bon fires, grocery stores and karaoke bars. Many people have asked if this means I'm making a country album??? My answer is.. hmm right now I'm just making songs that make me feel happy and fun and The Giver is my take on cuntry xoxo may the classic country divas lead their genre, I am just here to twirl and do a little gay yodel for yall/"

JP Cartwright also had a hand in writing the song.

Roan also posted, "Yeehawwww ☆"

"I love this song so much and it's been such a fun rollout to see the bus benches and billboards and posters and tear-offs wow I am so excited for all of it to come to life ! Eeeee!!!!"

"It is def a bold and scary move to release a full ass country song after only releasing one song last year and it having such a success in the pop genre .. (like I am very scared as I type this lol) but I think that's the entire point of chappell roan. Be bold and scary and have fun. be popstar girl then pop an edible +watch YouTube vibes . The whole point of this is to be silly !!!"

"Country music is fire. It's the campiest of camp. some of you may be new to the country scene and not quite sure what to make of me having a fiddle and banjo in my song. Understandable boo �̮ it is something different and sometimes different can feel bad because it's unfamiliar, but I encourage you to give her another shot ;)."

"Thank you to all the country divas who came before me."
