"LADY GAGA WAS ENDED": Fans react as Chappell Roan officially drops her new single "The Subway"

Chappell Roan has officially released the studio version of "The Subway." She first debuted the track live at Governors Ball 2024 while dressed as the Statue of Liberty.

It was a fan favorite even before it hit streaming platforms. The latest track is now available on all major platforms. Moreover, an accompanying music video is all set to premiere on August 1, 2025, at 10 a.m. ET.

"The Subway" is produced by Dan Nigro, who is known for his work with Olivia Rodrigo. The new song comes with a mix of emotional vulnerability and catchy pop structure. It talks about a chance run-in with an ex on the subway, and the slow process of healing that follows.

Chappell Roan took to her official Instagram handle to share the new song, captioning:

"The Subway OUT NOW!!!! I'm very proud of this song & what a journey she has been on. I first played it at gov ball when I was painted green as lady liberty and in the past have played new songs live to feel them out. Obviously not knowing this really chaotic year would follow the performance, it didn't really leave me the time to build the world the song deserved."

The post continued:

"But finally we are here. I def ripped my hair out trying to figure out the puzzle of how this song should feel musically and visually and emotionally, luckily there are some to spare. Thank you for sticking it out for a whole year. It was worth it to make sure everything was absolutely right (˘ᴗ˘) xoxo"
