Chappell Roan Releases New Song “The Giver”
Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Chappell Roan released a new song “The Giver” on March 13, 2025.
She first performed the song on Saturday Night Live last November.
The song is the follow-up to “Good Luck, Babe!”, which was released last April.
With the success of “Good Luck, Babe!”, she won BBC Radio 1 Sound of 2025.
This time, she wrote country music track unlike her previous songs.
The track was written by Kayleigh Rose Amstutz, and Paul Cartwright, and Daniel Nigro who also produced it.
Chappell Roan said of the song, “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.. 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 y'all.”- She continued, “I wrote a country song not to invade country music, but to really capture what I think the essence of country music is for me, which is nostalgia, fun in the summertime, the fiddle, and the banjo feeling like country queen. It makes me feel a certain type of freedom that pop music doesn't let me feel.”
She added, “I can't call myself the midwest princess and not acknowledge country music straight up. I just think a lesbian country song is really funny, so I wrote that.” - She shared on social media, “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.”
