Chappell Roan has become one of today’s standout music figures following the release of her album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess and hit singles like ‘Good Luck, Babe!’. Now, she’s dropped her highly anticipated new track ‘The Subway,‘ a ballad that quickly climbed to No. 1 on U.S. streaming platforms. The song follows ‘The Giver,’ released back in March.
But to the disappointment of her fans, neither track will be part of a new album—at least for now. In an interview with Vogue, Roan confirmed that “a second album or collection of songs doesn’t exist yet.” She even hinted it could take up to five years, the same amount of time it took her to write The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.
“I’m not that type of writer that can pump it out,” she explained. “I don’t think I make good music when I force myself to. I see some comments sometimes, like, ‘She’s everywhere except that damn studio.’ Even if I was in the studio 12 hours a day, every single day, that does not mean that you would get an album any faster.”

“There is no album. There is no collection of songs. It took me five years to write the first one, and it’s probably going to take at least five to write the next.” pic.twitter.com/iKX1tJTEqC

The singer has also made it clear that while creating her next album, she won’t be scrolling through social media or letting online opinions influence her work. In fact, she says she only uses Instagram to post—and then immediately deletes the app from her phone.
“Socials harm the f**k out of me and my art. I’m not doing that to myself anymore. I’ve never written an album where I don’t have Instagram or anything,” she says. “The album process is purely, only mine. No one on TikTok gets to see it,” she explained.
