The Uber Revelation

Roan recounted the experience during an interview with W Magazine, describing the surreal moment she realized her music was being broadcast.

I think it was in an Uber when I was on tour. I heard Good Luck,Babe. I caught my friend’s hand and I said to myself: “Oh M*RDE!” But I didn’t shout. I don’t sing with myself.

A complex Relationship with Her Own Music

Despite the excitement of hearing her song on the radio, Roan admitted she generally avoids listening to her music after it’s released. This stems from over-familiarity during the production process.

Vocal Challenges and Fan Empathy

The 27-year-old artist also expressed empathy for those attempting to cover “Good Luck, babe!”, acknowledging its vocal difficulty. Many fans have voiced their struggles on social media.

Roan reassured her fans, stating:

I can’t even sing it. I can’t sing in the original tone between two songs. If I do it apart, perhaps. When people sing my songs, I feel bad. I know how tough it is. I tell them: good luck, I don’t care that you are wrong. Thank you for trying,as I can’t even do it.
