Chappell Roan’s hotly anticipated lesbian country (ahem, c*ntry) bop “The Giver” is out and the reaction memes are *chef’s kiss* delicious.
Following months of teasing and a pretty iconic marketing strategy, the track – which the Grammy Award-winning singer first performed on Saturday Night Live (SNL) back in November – really is giving the sapphics (and Roan’s partners, it seems) everything they want.
Released on at 8pm EST on Thursday (13 March), “The Giver” is Roan’s first single since her 2024 international pop smash hit “Good Luck Babe!” and is an ode to lesbian sex – specifically about taking on more of the “giving” role during a sexual liaison.
“And other boys may need a map/but I can close my eyes/and have you wrapped around my fingers like that,” Roan croons, in a clear tongue-in-cheek jab at heterosexual men’s well-known inability to find the most pleasurable part of a woman’s anatomy.
“Ain’t no need to hurry/’Cause, baby, I deliver/Ain’t no country boy quitter,” she continues on in the chorus. Oh Chappell, how we swoon.
Sapphics around the world have been bowled over by the song, with many taking to social media to declare it a “anthem” and the only kind of country music they will listen to.
“i love how chappell roan does just whatever she wants and is automatically good at it like… you will not catch me listening to country unless it comes to miss roan,” one fan wrote.
“country boys are OVER. C**Try roan gets the job done!,” another wrote.
“chappell roan the giver is so good and then i remember it’s about topping women and i’m like wow. women can do anything this is awesome,” a third said.
