After teasing it for over a year, Chappell Roan has finally released her emotional new single, “The Subway,” on August 1, 2025. First performed live at Governors Ball 2024—where she was painted green as Lady Liberty—the song has become a fan favorite for its raw vulnerability and poetic storytelling
“The Subway” captures the lingering pain of a breakup, triggered by a chance encounter with an ex on the New York City subway. She even contemplates fleeing the city to escape the memories: “I made a promise, if in four months this feeling ain’t gone / Well, fck this city, I’m movin’ to Saskatchewan.”*
