Here's when Chappell Roan's new single 'The Giver' is dropping

To say 2024 was huge year for Chappell Roan would be an understatement. The 26-year-old singer-songwriter went from relative obscurity, to selling out some of the biggest venues in the world with her debut album, The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess. Now, it looks like things are about to turn up another notch, with Roan teasing a new single, The Giver, late last year. Now, it looks like that song could finally be released, with the release of even more cryptic marketing.

For everything we know about what's sure to become our next musical hyper-fixation, keep reading.

 

When is The Giver being released?

Chappell Roan took to her Instagram to officially announce that The Giver will be released next Thursday 13 March at 8pm ET (that's 12pm Friday 14 March for Aussies).

 

Is Chappell Roan releasing another album?

Where better than to debut your newest single than on SNL? Chappell scored the coveted performance spot in November, 2024, and took the opportunity to perform her latest song, 'The Giver.'

Fast forward to February, 2025, and a series of mysterious billboards have us thinking that 'The Giver' is gearing up for release.

Seriously committing to the bit, you can actually call the number listed on the sign. When you get through, there's more than just legal options: a recording of Roan asks if you'd like to talk to a dentist, an attorney, a plumber, “any other construction services,” or a private investigator. No matter what selection you make, you'll be treated to a short clip from 'The Giver'.

In the country-esque song, Roan sings, "she gets the job done" — a reference to one of the first hints that new music was on the way.  Back in October, 2024 Roan shared a series of polaroid photos to Instagram with the caption, "This is a clue. Just let that sink in." Further fanning the flame, words written on each of the polaroids spelled out, "She Gets The Job Done," with many speculating that this could be the name of an upcoming single, or perhaps the new album itself.

And in late October, 2024 Roan took to Instagram with a film photo of herself, holding the vinyl version of her first album. But it was the caption that really caught fans' attention. Alongside the snap, Roan wrote: "Album kinda popped off imo but it is time to welcome a hot new bombshell into the villa."

Naturally, the comment section on the post quickly descended into chaos, with many jumping to the conclusion that the post could only mean one thing: a sophmore album is en route.

When will Chappell Roan's second album be released?

While an exact timeline is murky, Dan Nigro — who co-wrote and produced Roan's first album — has given some hints on when to expect more music. Speaking to The New York Times in September, 2024 he shared that the duo had already completed five new tracks, including a “fun, up-tempo country song,” a “couple of ballads," “mid-tempo rock song" and a song with a fiddle. He added, “It’s a new version of Chappell.”

So while we wait very patiently, in the meantime, we'll be keeping a close on Roan's Instagram feed for more clues. Stay tuned.
