Chappell Roan put "Pink Pony Club" out on Atlantic in April 2020, long before the world caught up, and later folded it into her 2023 debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. She wrote it with producer Daniel Nigro, and it's a glitter bomb of synth-pop, disco and power pop telling the story of a young woman who leaves Tennessee for Southern California and ends up dancing at a gay club in West Hollywood, over her mother's objections.
Ben Romans on piano and Sam Stewart on electric guitar fill out Nigro's production, and the original video featured the drag queens Victoria "Porkchop" Parker and Meatball. Its real moment arrived five years on: after Roan performed it at the 2025 Grammys, where she won Best New Artist, it went to the top of the UK chart.
