"Pink Pony Club" is a 2020 song by American pop musician Chappell Roan featured on the artist's 2023 album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. [2]
After the release of her single "Die Young," Roan signed to Atlantic Records in 2017 and moved from her hometown of Willard, Missouri to Los Angeles the following year. [3] According to an interview with Headliner Roan was inspired to write "Pink Pony Club" during this period after a night at The Abbey, a gay bar in West Hollywood. [4] The song was written by Roan and music producer Dan Nigro. [5]
"Pink Pony Club" was released on April 3, 2020. Four months after releasing the song, Roan was dropped by her label, Atlantic Records. [1] After a year-long break from releasing music where she moved back to her hometown, wrote songs, and worked jobs to fund her project, she resumed releasing her music independently in 2022. [6] "Pink Pony Club" was re-released in early 2023 after she signed with Island Records and Amusement Records and was included on her debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. [7] [8]
Though initially released in 2020, "Pink Pony Club" entered the charts in June 2024, becoming a sleeper hit, after the release of Roan's debut album and a series of viral live performances heightened her public profile. [7] [9]
Directed by Griffin Stoddard, the "Pink Pony Club" music video features Roan dancing throughout a bar in a series of rhinestone fringe outfits. Drag queens Victoria "Porkchop" Parker and Meatball appear as other nightclub performers. [10]
