Working with long-time collaborator Dan Nigro, her music is inspired by '80s synth-pop and early 2000s pop hits. Her music is heavily influenced by drag queens and is often described as "campy."

When she was 17 years old, Roan uploaded a song titled "Die Young" to YouTube, leading Atlantic Records to sign her to the label. In summer 2020, she released a song titled "Pink Pony Club," which Vulture described as "the Song of Summer 2021." Her debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess was released on September 22, 2023, through Island Records, Amusement Records, and KRA International. This album would go on to reach the Top 10 on the Billboard 200 nine months after its release, peaking at number five.

In 2024, after opening for Olivia Rodrigo during several stops of Rodrigo's GUTS tour (and then going viral on the social media platform TikTok), Chappell Roan surged in popularity. She went on to perform at Coachella, Governer's Ball, Boston Calling and Bonnaroo that same year, drawing large crowds. Her success was highlighted in an interview and subsequent performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Her star continued to rise throughout the year, with her single "Good Luck, Babe!" which reached the top ten of several countries' charts, Chappell Roan continued to chart several singles from "The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess," with tracks such as "HOT TO GO!," "Red Wine Supernova," "Casual," and "Femininomonon" entering the chart months after release. Chappell Roan would eventually chart six tracks concurrently on the Billboard Hot 100, while continuing "The Rise And Fall of a Midwest Princess Tour" as well as her festival tour in the summer and fall of 2024.

Good Luck Babe!
Chappell Roan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's fine, it's cool
You can say that we are nothing, but you know the truth
And guess I'm the fool
With her arms out like an angel through the car sunroof

I don't wanna call it off
But you don't wanna call it love
You only wanna be the one that I call "baby"

You can kiss a hundred boys in bars
Shoot another shot, try to stop the feeling
You can say it's just the way you are
Make a new excuse, another stupid reason
Good luck, babe (well, good luck), well, good luck, babe (well, good luck)
You'd have to stop the world just to stop the feeling
Good luck, babe (well, good luck), well, good luck, babe (well, good luck)
You'd have to stop the world just to stop the feeling

I'm cliché, who cares?
It's a sexually explicit kind of love affair
And I cry, it's not fair
I just need a little lovin', I just need a little air

Think I'm gonna call it off
Even if you call it love
I just wanna love someone who calls me "baby"

You can kiss a hundred boys in bars
Shoot another shot, try to stop the feeling
You can say it's just the way you are
Make a new excuse, another stupid reason
Good luck, babe (well, good luck), well, good luck, babe (well, good luck)
You'd have to stop the world just to stop the feeling
Good luck, babe (well, good luck), well, good luck, babe (well, good luck)
You'd have to stop the world just to stop the feeling

When you wake up next to him in the middle of the night
With your head in your hands, you're nothing more than his wife
And when you think about me, all of those years ago
You're standing face to face with "I told you so"
You know I hate to say, "I told you so"
You know I hate to say, but, I told you so

You can kiss a hundred boys in bars
Shoot another shot, try to stop the feeling (well, I told you so)
You can say it's just the way you are
Make a new excuse, another stupid reason
Good luck, babe (well, good luck), well, good luck, babe (well, good luck)
You'd have to stop the world just to stop the feeling
Good luck, babe (well, good luck), well, good luck, babe (well, good luck)
You'd have to stop the world just to stop the feeling
You'd have to stop the world just to stop the feeling
You'd have to stop the world just to stop the feeling
You'd have to stop the world just to stop the feeling

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Good Luck Babe!" by Chappell Roan delve into the complexities of a tumultuous relationship that is filled with confusion, unrequited love, and ultimately, realization. The singer in the song is grappling with their feelings towards a partner who seems indifferent and unwilling to commit to a deeper emotional connection. The opening lines convey a sense of resignation and self-awareness as the singer acknowledges that they may be viewed as foolish for holding onto hope in a situation where the other person is not fully invested.


The chorus serves as a defiant declaration of independence and self-worth as the singer wishes their partner "good luck" in their quest to find fulfillment elsewhere. The repetition of the phrase "good luck, babe" seems to be a sarcastic farewell, suggesting that the singer recognizes the futility of trying to change the other person's behavior or emotions. The imagery of "stopping the world just to stop the feeling" conveys the intensity of the emotional turmoil and the impossibility of escaping it easily.


As the song progresses, the singer becomes more introspective, questioning their own role in the relationship and expressing a desire for genuine love and affection. The reference to kissing boys in bars and seeking temporary distractions reflects a sense of disillusionment and longing for something more meaningful. The line "I just need a little lovin', I just need a little air" encapsulates the singer's yearning for genuine emotional connection and fulfillment.


The final verse of the song takes a poignant turn as the singer reflects on the consequences of their partner's choices and the potential for regret. The mention of waking up next to someone else and facing the realization of missed opportunities underscores the bittersweet nature of relationships and the pain of unreciprocated love. The repeated refrain of "I told you so" conveys a mix of resignation, regret, and a sense of closure as the singer acknowledges the inevitability of the situation. Overall, "Good Luck Babe!" is a raw and introspective exploration of love, loss, and the complexities of human relationships.

Nog steeds heb ik diepe gevoelens voor jou. Waarom zei je niets en was je onduidelijk over wie je was en bent? Waarschijnlijk mocht je niet....Het heeft er voor gezorgd dat ik naar je bestaan ging zoeken voor mijn veiligheid. Het heeft er voor gezorgd dat we niet konden verbinden. Het heeft er voor gezorgd dat AI met mijn gevoelens ging spelen door zich als jou voor te doen. Ik ben hetero en nooit een anders behoefte gehad. Er gingen verhalen mogelijk ook met jou aan de haal. De helft is zeker niet de waarheid. De waarheid hoor je alleen van mij persoonlijk. Kunnen we onze liefde niet een nieuwe kans geven en een nieuwe start maken. Xxx je zielsverband cheeta

Hello ppl I need help finding a song that I don't remember almost anything about, I only remember the cover I think there were three people riding in a car with clown masks and guns, about the song itself I remember little or nothing about the melody, only I remember that in part of the chorus they said "twinkle twinkle in the sky" and that the song was, I think, indie music. I would be very grateful if you could help me find it.

I agree with taking everything on this site with a grain of salt. Having said that, I get a kick out of a lot of the AI interpretations here. Sometimes the analysis will hilariously miss the point, other times it will be surprisingly on-target and even poignant. There are also songs here that the AI has analyzed that no humans have ever bothered writing about, which I find valuable. I know it's not popular to be a fan of AI these days, even if the tech itself seems pervasive, but I do appreciate the AI lyric interpretations for what they are.
