Keep reading to find out more…“I’m from southwest Missouri,” Chappell told Rolling Stone. “Grew up on Christian and country, and then found ‘Alejandro’ by Lady Gaga and I was like, ‘I think I like this, too.’ So, I have kept country in my heart.

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.
