Chappell Roan, known for her pop hits like “Pink Pony Club,” is diving into country music with her new single, “The Giver.” Although she grew up in Missouri, Roan has previously avoided the country genre. However, her recent SNL performance revealed her willingness to experiment with new sounds. Partnering with Grammy-winning producer Dan Nigro, Roan blends her pop roots with country vibes in this empowering track.

In the song, Roan confidently sings, “I’m a giver,” showcasing her unique perspective. She explained on Apple Music’s Today’s Country Radio that her connection to country music, influenced by her Missouri upbringing, led her to embrace her authentic self in this crossover. “Yes, I’m gay. Yes, I’m ultra-pop. Yes, I am a drag queen who can also perform a country song,” Roan shared.
