After over a year of waiting, Chappell Roan fans think that the singer is officially on the verge of properly releasing her live-only song “The Subway.”
In a series of photos shared on social media Wednesday (July 23), fans spotted posters hung up around New York City featuring the “Pink Pony Club” singer’s face and containing a series of cryptic clues that appear to point to something arriving next week.
On one flyer, Roan is seen sporting a wig with blunt bangs, with the text reading, “Going through a breakup? Get bangs!” Eagle-eyed fans noticed a clip also stuck in Roan’s hair, with the words “best before August 1” printed on them. While nothing on the poster specifically mentions her song “The Subway,” fans guessed that its appearance in New York seems to point to the unreleased track.
That speculation reached a fever pitch when a verified Instagram fan account shared a clip using studio-quality audio of the beloved song, while feature snippets of what appear to be a music video to go along with the track. “I made a promise, if in four months this feeling ain’t gone,” Roan sings over the clip, as a moving truck with the license plate reading “THE SBWY” barrels down a gravel road. “Well, f–k this city, I’m movin’ to Saskatchewan.”
Billboard has reached out to Roan’s representatives for confirmation.
Roan first debuted “The Subway” during her headline-making set at Governor’s Ball in 2024, and has continued to regularly perform the track live during her live performances since. This also wouldn’t be the first time Roan teased a song months before releasing it — earlier this year, the singer dropped her country anthem “The Giver” after first performing it on Saturday Night Live in November 2024.
