And it’s so incredibly nostalgic to drive in West Hollywood and [play] Jason Aldean or Alan Jackson’s ‘Chattahoochee.’”
She then went on to say that Big & Rich’s 2004 track “Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)” was a big inspiration while she worked on “The Giver.”
“I was like, ‘I want to feel that way on stage. I want to feel that,’” Chappell explained. “Because that’s how I write. I’m like, ‘How do I want to walk around on stage and sing?’ And I was like, ‘I want to write that song, but Chappell’s version.’”
Chappell released her debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess in 2023. As of right now, she hasn’t announced the release date for her second album.
