Chappell Roan Promises Fans She’s Not Permanently Pivoting From Pop Music

As Chappell Roan prepares to release "The Giver," fans need not worry she's abandoned her previous pop sound.

Roan confirmed earlier week that her new single – the first since the release of 2024’s “Good Luck, Babe!” – would arrive on Thursday, March 13, with the fresh track inspired by her lifelong exposure to country music. According to Roan, one of the biggest inspirations for her pivot to the world of country came by way of Tennessee duo Big & Rich and their Grammy-nominated 2004 single “Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy).” Roan has been teasing the arrival of “The Giver” for weeks, rolling out a series of characters — a lawyer, a plumber, a private investigator, and now, a construction worker — who can “get the job done” à la the lyrics on the track, which she debuted on Saturday Night Live in November.
