Chappell Roan finally releases The Subway after umming and ahhing
The Pink Pony Club hitmaker debuted the track at the 2024 Governors Ball, and it has since become a fan-favourite at her concerts, with her fans patiently waiting for the track to land on streaming platforms.
Chappell previously suggested she wasn't sure whether to release The Subway, because it has such a "different" vibe.
She told Las Culturistas in April: "I've been banging my head against the wall with The Subway, because… some songs just work live — certain things work live — and they don't work in the studio.
'For The Subway, it's just going to feel different, and different doesn't always mean worse…You just have to really take yourself out of it and be like, 'This is different and that's okay.''
Prior to The Subway, Chappell - who headlines Reading and Leeds this month - shared the standalone country-tinged track The Giver in March.
Meanwhile, Chappell recently admitted the backlash she faces has started to feel personal.
The Hot To Go singer - whose real name is Kayleigh Rose Amstutz - never used to "give a f***" about criticism, but that's changed since it appeared to be directed at her real self.
In a conversation for Interview Magazine, SZA asked Chappell if she "gave a f*** about the backlash".
She admitted: 'I didn't, until people started hating me for me and not for my art.
'When it's not about my art anymore, it's like, 'They hate me because I'm Kayleigh, not because they hate the songs that I make. That's when it changed.'
The Grammy winner pointed out that fans only know her public persona rather than her true self, but it's still a struggle.
She added: "They don't [know Kayleigh]. But when things are taken out of context, people assume so much about you.
"I didn't realise I'd care so much. When it comes to my art, I'm like, 'B****, you can think whatever you want. You are allowed to hate it with all your guts.'
"But when it comes to me and my personality, it's like, 'Damn. Am I the most insufferable b**** of our generation?' [Laughs]."

Justin Timberlake goes public with ‘debilitating' secret battle
Don't miss out on the headlines from Music. Followed categories will be added to My News. Justin Timberlake has been diagnosed with 'debilitating' Lyme disease. The singer made the health admission in a lengthy Instagram statement today while reflecting on his Forget Tomorrow tour, which wrapped in Turkey this week. 'I've been battling some health issues, and was diagnosed with Lyme disease -— which I don't say so you feel bad for me –– but to shed some light on what I've been up against behind the scenes,' the 44-year-old told his followers. Timberlake noted that Lyme disease, which is a bacterial infection spread by ticks, 'can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically.' Timberlake says he's been battling the effects of a debilitating illness during this tour. Picture: Evan Agostini/Invision/AP Being diagnosed helped the 'shocked' Grammy winner understand 'why [he] would be onstage and in a massive amount of nerve pain or, just feeling crazy fatigue or sickness.' He continued, 'I was faced with a personal decision. Stop touring? Or, keep going and figure it out.' The former *NSYNC member ultimately decided, 'The joy that performing brings me far outweighs the fleeting stress my body was feeling.' He is 'so glad [he] kept going' to prove his 'mental tenacity' and share 'special moments' with fans. Timberlake said he had to make a choice: 'Stop touring? Or keep going and figure it out.' Picture: Amy Harris/Invision/AP Timberlake acknowledged elsewhere in his caption that he chose to be 'transparent about [his] struggles' so they would not be 'misinterpreted.' The singer, notably, has been blasted for lacklustre performances since kicking off his tour in April 2024. In one viral video shared via TikTok last week, Timberlake strolled around the stage and engaged in occasional dance moves, rarely bringing the microphone to his mouth. 'Go on girl, give us nothing,' one social media user wrote of the compilation. The star has copped some negativity in recent times over his 'lacklustre' concert performances. He was arrested last year for driving while drunk. Picture: AFP One fan complained, 'I get that you have a lot of concerts and are touring the world, or whatever, but you cannot be singing less than a quarter of a song.' Additionally, Timberlake made headlines earlier this month when he was caught on camera screaming at crew members over an issue-riddled performance in England. The songwriter's wife, Jessica Biel, showed her support for her partner by reposting his health news to her own Story. The couple have been married since 2012 and share two sons: Silas, 10, and Phineas, 5. This story originally appeared on Page Six and is republished here with permission.

Justin Timberlake reveals ‘debilitating' Lyme disease diagnosis after tour backlash
Justin Timberlake has been diagnosed with Lyme disease. The singer, 44, told fans about his 'debilitating' health struggle in a statement posted on Instagram Thursday. 'Well, as these two incredible years come to an end and I look forward to the future, I wanted to write something from the heart. It's not an easy task to try to contextualize the whirlwind of touring –– but, I will try,' he began, referencing his Forget Tomorrow tour, which wrapped Wednesday. 'Among other things, I've been battling some health issues, and was diagnosed with Lyme disease — which I don't say so you feel bad for me –– but to shed some light on what I've been up against behind the scenes,' Timberlake explained. He continued: 'If you've experienced this disease or know someone who has — then you're aware: living with this can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically.' Timberlake said that he was 'shocked' when he learned of his diagnosis. 'But, at least I could understand why I would be onstage and in a massive amount of nerve pain or, just feeling crazy fatigue or sickness,' he said of his symptoms. He noted he 'was faced with a personal decision' to potentially quit his tour. 'I decided the joy that performing brings me far outweighs the fleeting stress my body was feeling,' he wrote. 'I'm so glad I kept going.' 'Not only did I prove my mental tenacity to myself but, I now have so many special moments with all of you that I will never forget,' Timberlake told his fans. 'I was reluctant to talk about this because I was always raised to keep something like this to yourself. But I am trying to be more transparent about my struggles so that they aren't misinterpreted.' The Grammy winner concluded his message: 'Sharing all of this with the hope that we can all find a way to be more connected. I'd like to do my part to help others experiencing this disease too.' Timberlake's wife, Jessica Biel, with whom he has sons Silas, 10, and Phineas, 5, supported her husband by liking his post and sharing it on her Instagram Story. According to the Mayo Clinic, Lyme disease is an illness caused by Borrelia bacteria. Humans usually get Lyme disease from the bite of a tick carrying the bacteria. Other celebrities who have been diagnosed with Lyme disease include Justin Bieber, Avril Lavigne, Shania Twain, Riley Keough, Debbie Gibson, Amy Schumer and Yolanda and Bella Hadid. Timberlake's health news comes after he faced backlash on his tour for lackluster performances. Last week, fans accused Timberlake of barely singing onstage at the Electric Castle festival in Romania. Fan videos showed the musician having the crowd sing the majority of his 2016 hit 'Can't Stop the Feeling!' as he frolicked around the stage in the rain. The *NSYNC alum also faced backlash in February for abruptly canceling his final tour stop in Ohio after coming down with the flu. The 'Mirrors' singer said he was 'heartbroken' that he had to cancel the concert and promised refunds, but fans still slammed him for the last-minute notice. Timberlake's tour started in April 2024 — two months before he was arrested for suspicion of DWI in Sag Harbor, Long Island. In September, he pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of driving while ability impaired. Originally published as Justin Timberlake reveals 'debilitating' Lyme disease diagnosis after tour backlash
