Chappell Roan has been teasing that her new single “The Giver” is coming for weeks, but now we finally have a release date to look forward to. She began dropping breadcrumbs last month, when she offered an invite via her Instagram story to a listening party with a now-dead phone number that provided three snippets of the unreleased track, followed by Spotify-sponsored billboards across the country. And then on Tuesday, she revealed its arrival date: March 13 at 8 p.m. ET.
The country song, which she debuted on Saturday Night Live last November, was written by her and her longtime collaborator, producer-songwriter Daniel Nigro.
“@dan_nigro and I wrote this together and it was so fun!!! We’ve never done a country song and I have such a special place in my heart for country music.” Roan posted via Instagram on Tuesday along with the release date intel. “I grew up listening to it every morning and afternoon on my school bus and had it swirling around me at bon fires, grocery stores and karaoke bars.”
