“Naked In Manhattan” is the 2022 single from American singer-songwriter Chappell Roan, and is the twelfth track on Roan’s debut album “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess”, which was released in 2023.
“Naked In Manhattan” is a dance-pop queer track that Roan released two years after being dropped from Atlantic Records. The song sees Roan long for her friend to be intimate with her, crossing the lines between friends and lovers. In an interview with NME, Roan revealed she had not yet dated women when she wrote the track:
“I was just yearning and longing for this feeling, and it was so close I could taste it, but I hadn’t experienced it yet… It was very apparent that I was not supposed to be dating this guy,” she continues, “but I was so scared [to go there with a woman] that I wrote a song about it instead.”
