Chappell Roan hasshared a studio version of ‘The Subway’, which she debuted at Governors Ball Music Festival in June 2024. A The Daniel Nigro-produced track arrives with a music video directed by Amber Grace Johnson. Check it out below.
“Over a year after performing this song for the first time at Gov Ball, dressed as Lady Liberty, ‘The Subway’ will be released on all streaming platforms this Thursday, July 31st at 8pm Eastern Time,” Roan wrote in her newsletter. “This song encompasses everything I love about New York City – with the hope, heartbreak and healing that it has to offer us all ـﮩﮩ٨ـ♡ﮩ٨ـﮩ”
In a press release, she added: “The cliche of ‘the girl that got away’ barely scratches the surface for me with this song. I wrote it as I was stumbling around New York with a broken heart and I kept envisioning us on every street, fire escape, coffee shop, park and yes… the subway.”
‘The Subway follows last year’s ‘Good Luck, Babe!’ and March’s ‘The Giver’. Roan’s debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, came out in 2023.
