She continued, “I’m simply going to be every part that I’m in L.A, in my music I wanted to be myself and I wished to really feel theatrical; I wished it to really feel like a present for folks.

Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Membership” lyrics
[Verse 1]
I do know you wished me to remain
However I can’t ignore the loopy visions of me in L.A.

Received’t make my mama proud, it’s gonna trigger a scene
She sees her child lady, I do know she’s gonna scream
[Pre-Chorus]
“God, what have you ever finished?
You’re a pink pony lady, and also you dance on the membership,” oh mama

Lovers within the toilet and a line outdoors the door
Black lights and a mirrored disco ball
Each evening’s one more reason why I left all of it
