Stream: “The Giver” – Chappell Roan
I get the job done / Yes, ma’am, yes, I do / You’re welcome…
Chappell Roan has released yet another captivating, entertaining, and irresistible anthem with “The Giver.”
This track represents a significant step for the artist, as it marks Chappell Roan’s initial venture into the country genre, departing from the nostalgic pop influences of the ’80s and ’90s that characterized hits like “Good Luck, Babe!” and “Pink Pony Club.” Growing up in a country music-rich environment in Willard, Missouri, Roan has crafted a genuine country single, while putting her own distinctive spin on it.
The Giver – Chappell Roan
Ain’t got antlers on my walls
But I sure know mating calls
From the stalls in the bars
On a Friday night
And other boys may need a map
But I can close my eyes
And have you wrapped around
My fingers like that
Despite her traditional upbringing, the 26-year-old Midwest star spent her adolescence and early adulthood developing a vibrant, extravagant style – a quality that shines in her critically acclaimed debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess (released September 2023). As an artist who openly celebrates queer and inclusive culture – reflected not only in her identity but also in her music – this country-inspired single takes on a distinctive twist: it serves as a bold, sapphic love song.
So, baby
When you need the job done
You can call me, baby
‘Cause you don’t have to tell me
It’s just in my nature
So take it like a taker
‘Cause, baby, I’m a giver
No need to rush
‘Cause, baby, I deliver
Ain’t no country boy quitter
I get the job done
I get the job done

“The Giver” confidently embraces and celebrates the queer themes that have become a key aspect of Roan’s artistry.
“And other boys may need a map, but I can close my eyes and have you wrapped around my finger like that,” she passionately declares into the mic, showcasing her devotion. The song radiates a theatrical, spontaneous vibe, infused with rock elements and unmistakable Western influences. It not only introduces fans to a fresh sound from Roan but also conveys a message of joy, freedom, and honoring her past while crafting something brand new.
Girl, I don’t need no lifted truck
Revvin’ loud to pick you up
‘Cause how I look is how I touch
And in this strip-mall town of dreams
Good luck finding a man who has the means
To rhinestone cowgirl all night long
The “HOT TO GO!” singer premiered “The Giver” during Saturday Night Live's episode on November 2nd but held off on its official release for four additional months. With The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess and last year's Good Luck, Babe! marking her only new music, the song was teased through billboards across the U.S. and various social media posts. On Instagram, she expressed her anxiety about sharing a full-fledged country track after gaining significant success in the pop scene:
“It is definitely a bold and daunting choice to release a full-on country song after only one song last year, which was so successful in the pop genre .. (I’m quite scared as I write this lol) but I believe that’s the whole essence of Chappell Roan. Be bold and scary and have fun. Be a popstar girl then pop an edible + enjoy YouTube vibes. The main goal of this is to be silly!!!”
So, baby
If you never had one
Call me, baby, yeah
‘Cause you don’t have to tell me
It’s just in my nature
So take it like a taker
‘Cause, baby, I’m a giver
No need to rush
‘Cause, baby, I deliver
Ain’t no country boy quitter
I get the job done
I get the job done
