Chappell Roan is giving fans a taste of her rural Missouri roots.

The “Pink Pony Club” hitmaker took to social media to tease her upcoming single “The Giver,” a fan favorite track from her Nov. 2 performance on “Saturday Night Live.”

Roan revealed Tuesday that the unreleased twang-tinged track is now available on “The Lawyer Edition” vinyl, with the best new artist Grammy winner posting an Instagram photo with her hair slicked back in a lawyer outfit.

In reference to the song’s lyrics and promotional billboards posted in U.S. cities, Roan wrote “⍟ THE LAWYER ⍟ ur ex’s worst nightmare + she gets the job DONE ✔︎✔︎✔︎” and “Ps keep ur eyes peeled, she may be on a billboard in your town.” The song has yet to be released on streaming platforms.

According to Roan’s website, the $13.98 vinyl copies are already sold out, set to ship on Aug. 18, but fans can sign up to be notified when a restock is available.

The announcement followed a unique promotional rollout for “The Giver” this weekend that encouraged fans to call (629) 468-8646, which stands for her hit single “Hot To Go.” Fans were given the opportunity to choose from options hear snippets of “The Giver” depending on a series of options they could choose from.

Chappell Roan is set to release her upcoming song "The Giver," a twang-tinged departure from the pop hits off her first major project.

Spotify billboards to promote “The Giver” have gone up, with a New York City billboard saying, “Ew…someone had a little accident,” while a “Los Angeles’ finest divorce lawyer” ad says, “your ex’s worst nightmare” and “they’ll take it like a taker.”

“The Giver” is expected to be Roan’s first single off a possible follow-up project to the singer’s Grammy-winning album “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess,” which she created with collaborator and producer Dan Nigro, who will reprise his role on the next project.

In the song, Roan sings “in this strip-mall town of dreams, good luck finding a man who has the means / to rhinestone cowgirl all night long.” Later, the queer pop star sings “only a woman knows how to treat a woman right.”

“‘Cause you ain’t gotta tell me, i’s just in my nature / So take it like a taker, ’cause, baby, I’m a giver / Ain’t no need to help me, ’cause, baby, I deliver,” she croons during “The Giver” chorus.
