Following weeks of anticipation, Grammy-winning artist Chappell Roan has officially announced the release of her first country-inspired single, The Giver, set to premiere on March 13 at 8 p.m. ET.
Roan, known for her breakout pop anthems and theatrical performances, took to Instagram to share the news, revealing that she co-wrote the song with longtime collaborator Dan Nigro (the producer behind her 2023 debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess).
“We’ve never done a country song, and I have such a special place in my heart for country music,” Roan wrote. “I grew up listening to it every morning and afternoon on my school bus and had it swirling around me at bonfires, grocery stores, and karaoke bars.”
While many fans speculated whether The Giver signaled a full country album, Roan playfully addressed the rumors:
“My answer is… hmm, right now I’m just making songs that make me feel happy and fun. The Giver is my take on cuntry [sic] xoxo may the classic country divas lead their genre, I am just here to twirl and do a little gay yodel for y’all.”
