Chappell Roan joins Olivia Rodrigo for new Expectations remix

Chappell Roan has joined Olivia Rodrigo for a new remix of Expectations, bringing two of pop music’s most talked-about artists together for a new version of the track.

The remix was announced by Universal Music on 15 October, with Roan adding her vocals to the reworked song. The release gives fans a new take on the original while combining the distinctive styles of two artists who have built strong connections with younger pop audiences.

Watch the video:

Roan has become one of the most prominent names in contemporary pop following the success of her debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. Known for theatrical performances, bold styling and candid songwriting, she has also attracted a substantial LGBTQ+ following and spoken publicly about the importance of creating space for LGBTQ+ people.

Rodrigo has similarly established herself as a major voice in modern pop, with songs exploring relationships, growing up and emotional uncertainty. The collaboration brings together two artists whose work has resonated with listeners navigating identity, relationships and the pressures of young adulthood.

The new release also arrives as both performers continue to develop their musical identities beyond the songs that first brought them widespread attention. For fans, the remix offers an opportunity to hear how Roan’s vocal style fits alongside Rodrigo’s original material.

The collaboration adds another release to Roan’s growing catalogue following the success of The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, while Rodrigo continues to build on the momentum of her established pop career.
