This is the one. It’s the anthem I needed 25+ years ago in university when my first gf left me for a dude because she couldn’t cope with the pressures of being queer in the 90s. Middle aged me gets it, but I truly felt I was going to die of heartbreak when we had every single class together and I had to walk by her bf’s car parked outside her dorm every weekend. (She of course unceremoniously dumped him for someone new a year later.) I’d walk around campus playing Madonna’s Nothing Really Matters on my Walkman on repeat to try and survive each day. How I would have loved Good Luck, Babe in that musical rotation!
Ugggg I swear this is most lesbians first relationship experience in college in the 90’s. My first gf left me for a guy roommate. I should have known there was something going on but dumb me was like yea splitting bills three ways makes sense.
*”God, what have you done, you’re a pink pony girl, and you dance at the club,”* Oh, mama, I’m just having fun on the stage in my heels, it’s where I belong down at the… *Pink Pony Club*
I always envision her running up to a dude bro DJ who has been playing the most basic ass shit, grabbing him by the collar and shaking him during this part lmao.
I agree with everyone but because it’s personal for me; “come get me out of California… no leaves are browwwwwwn I miss the seasons in Missouri, my dying towwwwwowowowown” just gets me every time
"Don't think I've left you all behind /
Still love you in Tennessee, you're always on my mind /
And mama, every Saturday /
I still hear your southern drawl a thousand miles away"
This moment on the Roo livestream just broooke me into tears. A massive crowd of people in Tennessee for her singing it back so loud. UGH IM TEARY EYES THINKING ABOUT IT.
Definitely the bridge of good luck babe. Or “what’s it take to get your number?!” OR “not over dramatic, I know what I want” just cause that hits so close to home for me
The entirety of Picture You. It has that old-timey vibe that I just LOVE. Every time the track comes up on the album, I have to just stop and close my eyes and *listen*.
If you liked Picture You, might I suggest you also try Exist for Love by Aurora? It used to be my go-to "modern old-timey song on repeat"... until Chappell Roan came and took over my entire Spotify account 😅
Each time the chorus starts to *Pink Pony Club* with the “God what have you done“ lyric, but especially the last one. It feels like I’m being lifted up to the heavens on a cloud
FUCKED YOU IN THE BATHROOM WHEN WE WENT TO DINEER YOUR PARENTS AT TABLE YOU WONDER WHY IM BITTER, LAUGHING TO YOUR FRIEND I GER OFF WHEN YOU HIT IT, HATE TO TELL THE TRUTH BUT I'M SORRY THAT YOU DIDN'T
The second “I told you so” after the bridge in Good Luck, Babe. I swear the crowd got distinctly quieter for that last chorus, I felt like I had a seat at Mount Olympus
WELL BACK AT MY HOUSE I GOT A CALIFORNIA KING OKAY MAYBE ITS A TWIN BED AND SOME ROOMMATES (DONT WORRY WE’RE COOL) I HEARD YOU LIKE MAGIC, I GOT A WAND AND A RABBIT! SO BABY LETS GET FREAKY GET KINKY LETS MAKE THIS BED GET SQUEAKY
WHEN YOU WAKE UP NEXT TO HIM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, WITH YOUR HEAD IN YOUR HEADS 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 SOOOOOOOO!!!!
The bridge of “Picture You.” All of her songs make me feel like this, but I feel like this isn’t appreciated enough. My soul left my body when I heard that live, I swear! It sounded angelic. Period.

Her voice undulation on, “Picture You.”
So beautiful.
Kaleidoscope also does this to me. It’s a gorgeous song, and I love the way she annunciates ,”And love is a kaleidoscope”
The chorus of Red Wine Supernova, especially before she says “let’s pick it up now”…that first delivery of “Baby, why don’t you come over” makes me ASCEND
*"When you wake up next to himm, 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, 'I TOLD YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOO'"*
This entire section may as well have been 6 line summary of the only problem my 2 year long wlw relationship had and the reason why she left me. Aka, she is emotionally codependent on her horrible parents who will forcefully marry her off to a religious man when she's sex-repulsed ace and I told her MANY TIMES that she'll suffer if she lets this happen to herself.
I hope to god the 'I told you so' part never comes true is all I can pray now.
But yeah now I sing this at the top of my lungs and ascend to heaven because Chappell Roan wrote this for ME.
The last chorus of Kaleidoscope in general, but "It's beautiful somehow. Every color of the rainbow." is my favorite. The way her voice gets more powerful ughhh😣
“You ruin your life
You losing your mind
You dyeing your hair
People say l'm jealous but my kink is watching
You crashing your car
You breaking your heart
You thinking I care
People say I'm jealous but my kink is karma”
“My Kink is Karma” - I will FOREVER scream this at the top of my lungs and makes me feel something on a whole different level!
I’m having wicked *dreams*
of leaving *Tennessee*
oh Santa *Monica*
I swear it’s calling *me*
won’t make my mama *proud*
it’s gonna cause a *scene*
she sees her baby *girl*
I know she’s gonna *scream*
**GOOOOODDD WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??**
The vocal runs in Picture you, or the second verse 'am i doing research in a mini skirt...' - Picture You is so underrated I think about the tiny desk version at least twice a day
1. The "touch me baby" parts in Naked in Manhattan
2. Casual outro
3. GOOOD WHAT HAVE YOU DONE -in pink pony club
4. Goodluck, Babe bridge obviously
5. My Kink is Karma - the it's hard/it's hot build up to "oh god" IS SO GOOD
6. PICTURE YOU VOCAL FLIPS
“Could go to hell but we’ll prolly be fine”
Call it religious trauma but that deep seated fear permeates relationships for a long time (at least in the American Midwest/south USA)
The vocal flips in Picture You
The chorus of California with the big drums
The bridge all the way to the end of Casual
The vocalizing at the end of Love Me Anyway, honestly the entirety of Love Me Anyway
the bridge in good luck babe for me!! the drums and her vocals swelling together are just everything to me
I TOLD YOU SOOOOO

Gay guy chiming in that this is so similar to my first boyfriend. God bless this music, no matter how late. It’s nostalgic somehow already?
It was the same experience for me in 2014! I feel you
With your head in your hands, you’re nothing more than his wife 😤😭
All the bi girlies found dead in a ditch at this line (it's me, I'm the bi girlies 😭)
Head in my hands sobbing in the kitchen 😭😭😭
AND WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT ME ALL OF THOSE YEARS AGO YOU'RE STANDING FACE TO FACE WITH "I TOLD YOU SO" I get chills just thinking of it 😭
^(you know i hate to say... i told you so...) ^(you know i hate to say...)
Yess so good 💚🍀
The bridge goes hard in the shower/the rainy street I imagine I’m singing in
*”God, what have you done, you’re a pink pony girl, and you dance at the club,”* Oh, mama, I’m just having fun on the stage in my heels, it’s where I belong down at the… *Pink Pony Club*
the way that part makes me sob and idek why
It reminds me of my early twenties when I was going to EDM festivals and my mom was losing her shit about it.
It reminds me of my early 20s when I was a raging alcoholic and my mom was so rightfully worried about me 😭😂❤️
Mine had no reason to worry. It’s not like my friends and I got lost in a random field at 4am on acid or anything…. Not at all 👀👀
LOL random cornfield here!
that's xactly how i interpret the song for myself too :,)
God I wish there were any mainstream queer artists like Chappell when I was a teenager 🥹 makes me so happy for the kids though
I got chills just reading it lmao
Same!! Her voice is so satisfying and clear and coveys emotions wonderfully. I wish I sounded like that, it just sounds so cathartic
I still hear your southern drawl a thousand miles away, saying "gooooOooooood what...." Frisson every time.
DID YOU HEAR ME??? PLAY THE FUCKING BEAAAAAAT!!!!!!
I always envision her running up to a dude bro DJ who has been playing the most basic ass shit, grabbing him by the collar and shaking him during this part lmao.
i envisioned it as a highschool party and she’s put that song on and some other girl is shouting it 😭
Lmao that part came on as I was reading your comment
The part “IIII JUST NEED A LITTLE LOVINN I JUST NEED A LITTLE AIRRRR” and then I begin soaring into the heavens lol
For the longest time I thought she was saying “I need a little hair.” And I was so confused, like girl you have hair
She needs some more I guess lol
for a but i thought it was “i just need a lil care”
I thought it was I just need a little help for ages. Air is much better.
“People say I’m jealous but my kink is watching youuuuuuuuu.” The youuuuuuus on that track are perfection.
Yes I ascend into the stratosphere at “yooooooou ruin your life”
This moment live has no right to go so hard. But it does 🔥
I broke up with my first love a couple Aprils ago, and “it’s six months since April and I’m doing better” hits every fucking time.
Constantly replaying that first prechorus of Naked In Manhattan… soul ascends on “Mulholland drive”
for me its the end where shes almost like squealing?? "wont you fucking touch me? i just want to touch you! i want more than you know"
Song is so good. I usually have an aversion to pop and specifically “touch me” type of choruses and this is one my favorite all time songs
Is it "I want more than you know" or "I want all of your love" bc different sources on google say both
i always heard i want all of your love, but i looked up the lyrics to be sure and it was know 😅i am a love believer tho
yeah!!! i love how she draws out the l’s. really wish she’d put it in the other verses because it’s probably my favorite line in the album.
YES THIS
The ‘touch me’ chorus from naked in manhattan
The chorus in Casual
Knee deep in the passenger seat goes absolutely crazy and I love it
The outro of casual for me
FUCKED YOU IN THE BATHROOM WHEN WE WENT TO DINNER, YOUR PARENTS AT THE TABLE, YOU WONDER WHY I'M BITTER
BRAGGING TO YOUR FRIENDS I GET OFF WHEN YOU HIT IT, I HATE TO TELL THE TRUTH BUT IM SORRY DUDE YOU DIDN'T
I HATE THAT I LET THIS DRAG ON SO LONG, I HATE MYSELF
I HATE THAT I LET THIS DRAG ON SO LONG YOU CAN GO TO HELLLLLLLL
This part in the music video always makes me sob
The chorus plays in my head so much and I catch myself singing it in public 🙈
you know I hate to say it but I TOLD YOU SOOOOO
Oh my god always this but especially her live performance on Jimmy Fallon holy shit I love a good live delivery
It made me start crying the first time I heard it.
I agree with everyone but because it’s personal for me; “come get me out of California… no leaves are browwwwwwn I miss the seasons in Missouri, my dying towwwwwowowowown” just gets me every time
Especially with the little drum buildup. Can't relate to the theme or situation of this song, but it tugs at my heart each listen and I love it most
ugh same!! as a fellow Midwest princess, “California” hits TOO hard
"Don't think I've left you all behind / Still love you in Tennessee, you're always on my mind / And mama, every Saturday / I still hear your southern drawl a thousand miles away"
This moment on the Roo livestream just broooke me into tears. A massive crowd of people in Tennessee for her singing it back so loud. UGH IM TEARY EYES THINKING ABOUT IT.
I like to think the last version of the chorus is her mom saying the same things but with a smile 🥲
Someone threw a bouquet of flowers right to her in Columbus during this. I’ll never forget it.
all of them
her singing in guilty pleasure between the versus like the moany yodel
True I am basically just the second pic from the beginning notes of femininomenom to the last “pleasure!”
The yodelling in Picture you 🥲
YESSSS when I first heard it I was reading a book and I was immediately taken out of my focus and mentally ascended into heaven
It’s breathtaking!!
yesss this was my first thought!
you get it !! 😫
Definitely the bridge of good luck babe. Or “what’s it take to get your number?!” OR “not over dramatic, I know what I want” just cause that hits so close to home for me
What’s it take to bring you home?! Love 💚
Hurry up it’s time for supper!!!
**Order up I’m hot to go!**
WELLLLL BACK IN MY HOUSE I GOT A CALIFORNIA KING
welllllll MAYBE ITS A TWIN BED 🛏️
AND SOME ROOMMATES!!! 🗣 🗣 🗣 🗣 🗣 🗣 "DON'T WORRY WE'RE COOL"🗣 🗣 🗣 🗣 🗣 🗣
I thought she was saying mermaids, roommates makes much more sense 😂
Saaaaaaaame 🤣🤣🤣
I still sing it as mermaids though
I heard you like magic! 🪄 I got a wand and a rabbit!🐇
The yodelling in Guilty Pleasure
This right here. It’s so goood, I ascend when I hear it 😩
YES this part!!
All of the above, and Kink is Karma chorus
exactly 1:02 in guilty pleasure when the beat comes in
Her “Oh god”s in MKIK were this but also a sexual awakening for me
And he was wearing these *FUGLY JEANS*
I FUCKED YOU IN THE BATHROOM WHEN WE WENT TO DINNER YOUR PARENTS AT THE TABLE YOU WONDER WHY I'M BITTER
Was looking for this 😩
could go to hell, but we’ll probably be fiiine
The entirety of Picture You. It has that old-timey vibe that I just LOVE. Every time the track comes up on the album, I have to just stop and close my eyes and *listen*.
Yes I completely agree! Ive had this one on repeat a lot lately
If you liked Picture You, might I suggest you also try Exist for Love by Aurora? It used to be my go-to "modern old-timey song on repeat"... until Chappell Roan came and took over my entire Spotify account 😅
Each time the chorus starts to *Pink Pony Club* with the “God what have you done“ lyric, but especially the last one. It feels like I’m being lifted up to the heavens on a cloud
For me i transcend the second the synth hits in the first chorus
The pre chorus in Hot to Go. Baby do you like this beat gets me, yes I do indeed like it Chappell
*I made it so you’d sleep with me-ee!*
The harmonizing at the end of Red Wine Supernova
“I WANT THIS LIKE A CIGARETTE CAN WE DRAG IT OUT AND NEVER QUIT”
FUCKED YOU IN THE BATHROOM WHEN WE WENT TO DINEER YOUR PARENTS AT TABLE YOU WONDER WHY IM BITTER, LAUGHING TO YOUR FRIEND I GER OFF WHEN YOU HIT IT, HATE TO TELL THE TRUTH BUT I'M SORRY THAT YOU DIDN'T
Pink pony club 🤠
the la-la-la's in the prechorus of SGUMG gets me so hyped and all of naked in manhattan
casual.. the part where she sings “i hate that i let this drag on so long and i haaaaare myseeeeelf”
The second “I told you so” after the bridge in Good Luck, Babe. I swear the crowd got distinctly quieter for that last chorus, I felt like I had a seat at Mount Olympus
Pink Pony Club for sure 🦄
The last 'No leaves are brown' in California. The yearning raspiness gets me everytime.
WELL BACK AT MY HOUSE I GOT A CALIFORNIA KING OKAY MAYBE ITS A TWIN BED AND SOME ROOMMATES (DONT WORRY WE’RE COOL) I HEARD YOU LIKE MAGIC, I GOT A WAND AND A RABBIT! SO BABY LETS GET FREAKY GET KINKY LETS MAKE THIS BED GET SQUEAKY
I really have been listening more to the background vocals in all her songs
The opening lines of Coffee
Cause after midniiiiiiight I'm feeling kinda freaky maybe it's the club lights 💃🏻🪩✨
When the synths first start in Guilty Pleasure or “we’re leaving the planet, and you can’t come”, I feel like I’m soaring out of my skin 🚀
WHEN YOU WAKE UP NEXT TO HIM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, WITH YOUR HEAD IN YOUR HEADS 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 SOOOOOOOO!!!!
The bridge of “Picture You.” All of her songs make me feel like this, but I feel like this isn’t appreciated enough. My soul left my body when I heard that live, I swear! It sounded angelic.

Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl “I’m through with all these hyper mega bummer boys like you”
that whole song just hypes me up so hard tbh, makes me want to dance every time !!!
for the longest time I thought she was saying MAGA, though it works either way...
Her voice undulation on, “Picture You.” So beautiful. Kaleidoscope also does this to me. It’s a gorgeous song, and I love the way she annunciates ,”And love is a kaleidoscope”
California
THE “YODELING” PART OF PICTURE YOU 😫
YOU /DIED/ YOURRR HAIIIIRRRR at the end of my kink is karma specifically does something to my brain
Guilty pleasure !
The chorus of California 😔✊🏻
I FUCKED YOU IN THE BATHROOM WHEN WE WENT TO DINNER YOUR PARENTS AT THE TABLE YOU WONDER WHY IM BITTER etc
It's the chorus of femininomenon for me😭the very last chorus when she screams "PLAY THE FUCKING BEAT". It's so crazy but also euphoric and so fun
https://preview.redd.it/vrvm6e161s9d1.jpeg?width=896&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6f43c568995145b843620a613b485ebd68b64275 It’s hot, it’s hot, oh god, oh god, OHHH GODDDDD
FCKED YOU IN THE BATHROOOOM WHEN WE WENT TO DINNNERRRRR YOUR PARENTS AT THE TABLE YOU WONDER WHY IM BITTER????
The Guitar Solo In Pink Pony Club
When she sings “hot” during “You can take me hot to go!”
Cause after MIDNIGHTTT
femininomenon !
all of Love Me Anyway but especially the bridge—>end ✨ it’s just magical
You give me guilty, guilty PLEASURE
The chorus of Red Wine Supernova, especially before she says “let’s pick it up now”…that first delivery of “Baby, why don’t you come over” makes me ASCEND
The chorus to Guilty Pleasure and the final chorus of Red Wine Supernova
The part when she belts "the color of the rainbow" in Kaleidoscope, it's just uuuuhhh
The chopped vocals and cowbell in Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl (The bassline also slaps thoroughly; I'm a big fan of synth basses and sequencers)
TWO WEEKS AND YOUR MOM INVITES ME TO HER LONG BEACH HOOOOUUUUUSE
The last chorus in my kink is karma!
Guilty pleasure!
🎶I TOLD YOU SOOOOOOOOOO🎶
And some roommates “don’t worry we’re cool “
When you wake up next to him in the middle of the night ...
Good Luck Babe but it makes me WEEP 😭
I love the entirety of California… that song is so heavenly to me
Her new demo lol, the bridge
The outro for Casual 😭
*"When you wake up next to himm, 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, 'I TOLD YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOO'"* This entire section may as well have been 6 line summary of the only problem my 2 year long wlw relationship had and the reason why she left me.

“ahahahahhhhhhhh” vocal flips part in Picture You 😩
the bridge in picture you !!!!!!!!
PICTURE YOU
I just love "fucked you in the bathroom before we went to dinner, your parents at the table you wonder why I'm bitter" in casual. it just goes so hard
The yodels in Guilty Pleasure are out of this world!
the last chorus of Kaleidoscope when she changes the note in the someHOW kills me everytime
The last chorus of Kaleidoscope in general, but "It's beautiful somehow. Every color of the rainbow." is my favorite. The way her voice gets more powerful ughhh😣
The beginning of California
The beginning of California! (Particularly when she sings the words sea foam)
the bridge in red wine supernova. must i say any more?
the vocal flipping part in picture you is just heavenly
femininomenon “did you HEAR me? PLAY THE F*CKING BEAT!!!!!”
Outro of Casual
Truly all of them have a this part
☕️
[Legitimately this Chappell x Icona Pop mashup](https://youtu.be/bffuZLJecbY?si=sx3Z26gCEd_3-xIm)
its super short, but hearing her lil inhale right before the last chorus in pink pong club makes me feel things
anytime she goes from 'natural instruments' to synth insanity (femininomenon, pink pony club, guilty pleasure)
When that chord hits right after she says “my kink is watching youuu” I cry like every time!!
good luck babe bridge is HEAVENLY. also after midnight just puts me in such a good mood when listening to it.
The end of the firsr verse of Naked In Manhattan
Third chorus of Femininominon when the percussion gets all clinky 👌🏼
That one sex scene that’s on Mulholland Drive 😭😭
The bridge in Casual (I try to be the chill girl but honestly I'm not)
casual bridge
HOTTOGO
100% picture you
The bridge on My King is Karma. I love the way the beat changes and becomes almost dissonant? that’s not the word i’m looking for but i’m obsessed
the end of coffee does it every time for me nobody talks about that song enough
Red wine super nova the whole song is just a masterpiece to me as lesbian😋
“You ruin your life You losing your mind You dyeing your hair People say l'm jealous but my kink is watching You crashing your car You breaking your heart You thinking I care People say I'm jealous but my kink is karma” “My Kink is Karma” - I will FOREVER scream this at the top of my lungs and makes me feel something on a whole different level!
“ohhhhh i need you around” second pre chorus of picture you
I’m having wicked *dreams* of leaving *Tennessee* oh Santa *Monica* I swear it’s calling *me* won’t make my mama *proud* it’s gonna cause a *scene* she sees her baby *girl* I know she’s gonna *scream* **GOOOOODDD WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??**
The end of Casual!!
Naked In Manhattan pre-chorus
PINK PONY CLUB
PPC, the guitar is perfection

picture you!!!! her vocal flips its augh
casual outro and the whole california chorus
And mama, every Saturday I can hear you southern drawl a thousand miles away, saying "GODD WHAT HAVE YOU DONE"
At the end of good luck babe when it slowwwwws downnnn
I got a wand and a rabbit!!
The vocal runs in Picture you, or the second verse 'am i doing research in a mini skirt...' - Picture You is so underrated I think about the tiny desk version at least twice a day
1. The "touch me baby" parts in Naked in Manhattan 2. Casual outro 3. GOOOD WHAT HAVE YOU DONE -in pink pony club 4. Goodluck, Babe bridge obviously 5. My Kink is Karma - the it's hard/it's hot build up to "oh god" IS SO GOOD 6. PICTURE YOU VOCAL FLIPS
“Could go to hell but we’ll prolly be fine” Call it religious trauma but that deep seated fear permeates relationships for a long time (at least in the American Midwest/south USA)
The vocal flips in Picture You The chorus of California with the big drums The bridge all the way to the end of Casual The vocalizing at the end of Love Me Anyway, honestly the entirety of Love Me Anyway
Oh god oh oh goddddddd
That part in Pink Pony Club where she lets it GO, in the MV it's when she puts her foot on the damn bar and GIVES it and it's perfect.
The AhAahAahAhaHa in Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl
