Chappell Roan releases “The Subway” with 35mm NYC video and announces fall pop-up concerts.

Chappell Roan has released the studio version of “The Subway”, now out via Amusement, Island Records, and Universal Music Canada. A song fans have long anticipated, it makes its official debut after months of live performances and online speculation.

With production and co-writing by Daniel Nigro, the song expresses heartbreak through lyrical vulnerability and sweeping vocal shifts. Her standout lyric reads: “I made a promise, if in four months this feeling ain’t gone, well f*ck this city, I’m moving to Saskatchewan!”

Fans began piecing together clues about the release last week as posters and murals emerged in New York, and a video of a moving truck in Saskatchewan sparked online conversation.

In tandem with the release, Roan issued a copper-colored 7” vinyl with “The Subway” and demo “I Hate It Here”, which quickly sold out.

Directed by Amber Grace Johnson, the music video complements the track with bold visuals of Roan moving through New York in reflective and surreal moments, shot on 35mm.

Roan commented, “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.”

Roan’s fall tour includes dates in Forest Hills, Kansas City, and Pasadena, with $1 from every ticket supporting trans youth organizations.
