It details her personal experiences with heartbreak and talks about embracing her queer identity.

She talked about writing the album in an interview with Rolling Stone. She said, “When I started the album, I was in a four-and-a-half-year relationship with a man,” says Roan, 25. “I was writing about girls and the thought of girls. I was like, ‘I’m going to write about the part that I always wanted to feel: just complete freedom and euphoria and sparkles. And I’m going to pretend like this is the only world that it lives in.’”

Midwest Princess isn't just another album; it's a powerful culmination of a healing journey for Roan, marking a turning point in her burgeoning career.

Some eagle-eyed fans might even point out the unmistakable imprint of Roan's influence on Rodrigo's track "Bad Idea Right?" – a subtle nod to the profound impact she's had on the music scene.
