Dan Nigro on Chappell Roan’s ‘Old School Success’ & When He Realized She’s ‘A Superstar’


Dan Nigro, co-writer and producer of Chappell Roan's 'Good Luck, Babe!' tells Billboard about how the song came together & her recent chart successes.

The Grammy-winner songwriter-producer had tried just about everything he could think of with the bubbling under pop phenomenon — boosting the production, cleaning up the lyrics, adjusting the key — and yet the song still didn’t have that special X factor they were looking for. Over the last several years, the songwriter has cemented himself as one of the most sought-after writers in the business, helping write hits for pop artists including Olivia Rodrigo, Caroline Polachek, Conan Gray and others. Nigro breaks down the “intense” process of writing “Good Luck, Babe!,” its runaway success over the last two months and why he knew early on that Chappell Roan was destined to be “a superstar.”
