Gen Z superstar Chappell Roan isn’t afraid to admit she’s tired, per Rolling Stone.Roan said she rejected her label’s request to film a music video for her hit song “Good Luck, Babe!”Roan said she was “too tired,” and the song was already a hit without a video.

Chappell Roan, who has seen a meteoric rise to fame in a matter of months, is not afraid to say when she’s reached her limit with work.

The “Good Luck, Babe!” singer said in an interview with Rolling Stone that she had resisted her label’s requests to film a music video for the hit song, saying she was “too tired.”

“Do you know how hard it is to do a music video when you’re this exhausted and burnt?” she told Rolling Stone’s Brittany Spanos.

She told the outlet what she told her team: “It’s a hit without a video.”

The song, about being in love with a girl who can’t admit she likes girls, ranks eighth place on the Billboard Hot 100 as of press time.

Roan spoke about burnout in an earlier Rolling Stone article as well, saying that there was intense pressure for her to live up to the expectations of her fans.

“Part of me hopes I never have a hit again because then no one will ever expect anything from me again,” she told the outlet.

But she faced many hurdles on her journey, including getting dropped by her label and being told that her now-hit song “Pink Pony Club” would not resonate with the crowd, according to the Rolling Stone article.

“It’s my dream job,” she told Rolling Stone. “I never know if it’s going to be like this ever again, which is kind of scary.”

Roan follows the likes of other music sensations like Adele, who has publicly voiced that she, too, needs a break.

During her concert in Munich in August, Adele said that she plans to take a break after completing her residency in Las Vegas.

In a video posted by a fan on X, she told the audience that she had “10 shows left to do.”

“But after that, I will not see you for an incredibly long time, and I will hold you dear in my heart for that whole length of my break,” she said.

“I just need a rest,” the singer, 36, added. “I have spent the last seven years building a new life for myself, and I want to live it now.”

Representatives for Roan didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider, sent outside business hours.
