Pink Pony Club
Updated: 5/24/2026, 7:28:01 PM Wikipedia source
"Pink Pony Club" is a song by the American singer and songwriter Chappell Roan. It was released through Atlantic Records on April 3, 2020, and was later included on her debut studio album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess (2023). Written by Roan and Daniel Nigro, "Pink Pony Club" features elements of pop, synth-pop, dance-pop, power pop, disco-pop, and disco and describes the story of a woman moving to Southern California from her home residence of Tennessee, taking a job as a dancer in a gay club in West Hollywood despite her mother's objections. "Pink Pony Club" received a positive critical reception amidst the rise of Roan's popularity after the release of the song's parent album, receiving praise for its musical composition and story. It drew commercial success five years after its initial release following a performance at the 2025 Grammy Awards, at which Roan won Best New Artist. The track topped the national chart of the United Kingdom and charted within the top ten in Australia, Canada, Ireland, and the United States. It received multi-platinum certifications in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. A music video for "Pink Pony Club" accompanied its release in April 2020, featuring cameo appearances from drag queens Victoria "Porkchop" Parker and Meatball. The song was used to wake up the crew of Artemis II on the fourth day of their mission to the moon.
