Chappell Roan released her debut studio album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, on September 22, 2023. The singer talked about the album in an exclusive interview with Crucial Rhythm on September 12, 2023 (updated on November 27, 2024), elaborating on the drag influence in her music:

"I'm very inspired by Drag in every aspect. I have three local Drag performers open for me in every city that I headline. I think it has really inspired the project with styling, makeup, performance, music video, the energy around the entire show and the writing is campiness."

The singer continued:

"It’s the forefront of the project and the identity. I think that it’s the forefront of Drag, campiness, over the top, supposed to be fun and dramatic.'"

She later talked about the creative process behind the album and what she enjoyed about it:

"I loved creating songs for the audience, specifically for audience participation. My favorite part of my job is live performance/touring. I think writing the songs with that in mind was so fun."

The singer continued:

"I just love how involved I was with the independent aspect of it, teaching myself how to do Drag or rhinestones and do everything myself because I had no money. My favorite part was working with my friends and scrapping everything together. It was a giant project of just friends, that was my favorite part."

Chappell Roan more recently has released two singles, Good Luck, Babe! on April 5, 2024, and The Giver on March 13, 2025. The singer also sang the backing vocals on the track Can't Catch Me Now by Olivia Rodrigo.
