Stand clear of the closing doors — Chappell Roan Reaches Her Next Destination With ‘The Subway’: Listen Now. The highly anticipated track has officially arrived, pulling into streaming platforms on Thursday (July 31).
Fans have been eagerly awaiting this release ever since Roan first performed The Subway during her 2024 Governor’s Ball set, where she stunned the crowd in full Statue of Liberty cosplay with green body paint. Over the past year, the song has become a staple at her live shows, and now, listeners finally get to enjoy the polished studio version.
A Heartfelt Ballad About Love and Loss
The Subway is a soul-stirring ballad that captures the ache of heartbreak in New York City. With vulnerable lyrics, Roan expresses the bittersweet struggle of moving on:
“It’s just another day / And it’s not over ’til it’s over,” she sings, before soaring into a cathartic outro — “She’s got, she’s got a way / She’s got a way, she’s got a way.”
Building on Recent Success
This release follows the momentum of Roan’s recent single The Giver, which climbed to No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. Before that, her breakout hit Good Luck, Babe! propelled the Missouri native into pop stardom after the success of her debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.
What’s Next for Chappell Roan
Roan has teased that she’ll soon begin working on her sophomore album. But first, she’s treating fans to a series of intimate pop-up shows in Los Angeles, Kansas City, and New York City.
“I love these three cities so much + wanted the chance to do something special before going away to write the next album,” she shared on Instagram in July. “I truly cannot wait to see you.”
