The song, which Roan cowrote with its producer, Daniel Nigro, proved an arduous creative undertaking. She compares “The Subway” to her early hit “Casual,” a song about wanting someone who won’t commit, both in terms of its content and the production process. “It took an annoying amount of time to just get it right,” she says.

Chappell Roan moves through a series of surreal New York City scenes in the video to her highly-anticipated new single, 'The Subway' — watch it here.

Following “Good Luck, Babe!” and “The Giver,” it’s her third single since releasing The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess in 2023
