The past year provedmonumentalforChappell Roan. After garnering a large fan base with her 2024 single “Good Luck, Babe!,” fans quickly discovered the other works in her catalog, including her 2023 albumThe Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. But this month, fans of Roan are finally getting new music. On Tuesday, March 4, the Grammy-winning artist took toInstagramto announce the release date ofher upcoming single, “The Giver.”

Roanfirst performed the song on June 29, 2025, when she appeared onSaturday Night Liveas that episode’s musical guest. The song is sexy,lesbian love song with country influence, as well as somenot-so-subtle double entendres. “You ain’t got to tell me / It’s just in my nature / So take it like a taker, ‘cause, baby, I’m a giver / Ain’t no need to hurry, ‘cause, baby, I deliver / Ain’t no country boy quitter / I get the job done,” sings Roan on the song’s chorus.
With new music finally on the way,fans are eager for Roan’s follow-up toMidwest Princess. While she’s keeping tight-lipped on details, Roan did recently offer some insight into her creative process.
The Making of Chappell Roan’s New Song “The Giver”
In Roan’s post announcing “The Giver,” she revealed thatthe song was co-written with Dan Nigro, who produced a fair portion ofMidwest Princess.She revealed that the song’s sounds were inspired by thekind of music the people around her listened to while she was growing up. “[Nigro and I have] never done a country song and I have such a special place in my heart for country music,” Roan wrote in the post’s caption. “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.”
Fans will probably have the song memorized, as many have already watched theSNLperformance over and over again. But with an actual release date, it looks likea new era may be underway.Roan continued, revealing that she’s still hard at work on new music — and that “The Giver” isn’t necessarily an indication of what her next album will sound like. “Many people have asked if this means I’m making a country album???,” Roan wrote. “My answer is.. hmmright now I’m just making songs that make me feel happy and funand The Giver is my take on [country] xoxo may the classic country divas lead their genre, I am just here to twirl and do a little gay yodel for yall.”
