The ballad has been a highly anticipated song for her fans ever since she began singing it during her live sets last summer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t\u201cI\u2019m very proud of this song &amp; 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,\u201d Roan wrote on Instagram after its release. \u201cObviously not knowing this really chaotic year would follow the performance, it didn\u2019t really leave me the time to build the world the song deserved. But finally, we are here.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify\">\n<p>\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: The Subway\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/7GlwcUYHB99l7k13I2Hira?si=SFnXYonERqmhMsQynntC9g&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tOn the song, Roan runs into her green-haired ex on the subway and it brings back all the same grief she felt from the end of the relationship. As the song progresses, she reveals her hopes to move on to the point where her former lover is \u201cjust another girl on the subway.\u201d But her alternative plan if that doesn\u2019t happen is to move to Saskatchewan, as she jokes on the second verse.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t\u201cI 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,\u201d Roan said on Instagram. \u201cThank you for sticking it out for a whole year. It was worth it to make sure everything was absolutely right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tHer spring single \u201cGood Luck, Babe\u201d became a Top 10 hit as did her 2020 song \u201cPink Pony Club.\u201d In August of last year, she revealed to <em>Rolling Stone<\/em>, however, that she would not be releasing it as the follow-up to \u201cGood Luck, Babe!\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t\u201cI just like performing it,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-features\/chappell-roan-good-luck-babe-fame-fans-1235094314\/\">she said at the time<\/a>. \u201cI have two others that I really want to perform, too, [but] I don\u2019t know what\u2019s next. When I don\u2019t know, it just hasn\u2019t hit me yet because usually I know. I always have an answer.
