Chappell Roan Releases Country-Inspired Single While Confirming Pop Roots

The Grammy-winning artist debuts 'The Giver,' a playful nod to her country music influences, without departing from her pop identity.

Chappell Roan's new single 'The Giver,' co-written with Dan Nigro, is inspired by her nostalgic connection to country music and Big & Rich's 'Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy).'
The singer has assured fans that her upcoming sophomore album will remain firmly in the pop genre, emphasizing that the country single is a standalone, fun project.
Roan's Missouri upbringing and exposure to country music shaped the playful, campy tone of 'The Giver,' which she describes as her unique take on the genre.
'The Giver' was first previewed during her November 2024 performance on Saturday Night Live and has since been teased extensively on social media and billboards.
Chappell Roan, recently awarded Best New Artist at the Grammys, continues to advocate for developing artists and inclusivity in the music industry.
