Chappell Roan Releases Playful Country-Inspired Single 'The Giver'

The Grammy-winning artist explores her Missouri roots with a campy, nostalgic take on country music while staying committed to her pop identity.

Chappell Roan's new single 'The Giver' marks her first foray into country music, inspired by her upbringing in Missouri and classic country hits like 'Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)'.
Roan describes the track as a 'lesbian country song' that combines fiddles, banjos, and playful lyrics, showcasing a fun and campy perspective on the genre.
The song was first performed during her Saturday Night Live appearance in November 2024 and has since been teased with billboards and themed promotions.
Roan clarified that 'The Giver' is a standalone experiment and not part of a broader pivot to country music, stating her upcoming album will remain rooted in pop.
The release follows her Grammy win for Best New Artist and the success of her debut album 'The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess' and hit single 'Good Luck, Babe!'.
