Thanks to hits like “Hot To Go” and “Pink Pony Club”, she received nominations for Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist. She won for Best New Artist.

Posting videos of herself and creative director Ramisha Sattar dancing around the room, Roan offered fans the chorus of the new country-inspired song. “Cause you ain’t got to tell me / It’s just in my nature / So take it like a taker, ’cause, baby, I’m a giver/ Ain’t no need to hurry, ’cause, baby, I deliver / Ain’t no country boy quitter / I get the job done.”
For fans of Saturday Night Live, they might remember Roan appearing on the show as the musical guest back in November. A surprise for those watching, she even paused the song to address the audience, declaring, “All you country boys saying you know how to treat a woman right. Well, only a woman knows how to treat a woman right.”
