Maggie Rogers’ Boyfriend Was the Subject of One of Her Songs – Facts about Her Personal Life

Maggie Rogers’ boyfriend—now her ex, to be accurate—has been known to score a feature in her music. The singer-songwriter once revealed which of her popular songs was about him.

Maggie Rogers burst onto the music scene in 2016 following a viral moment of her playing her would-be hit song “Alaska” for record producer Pharrell Williams. The life-changing experience occurred in her New York University classroom, where she was a student.

Rogers released her first album, “Heard It in a Past Life,” in 2019, and she writes songs about her personal experiences, including her love life

In a December 2022 interview, the “Different Kind of World” singer got candid about one of her songs and discussed its significance:

‘Love You for a Long Time’ was written about a boyfriend that I no longer have. […] I think that it inspires this immense amount of self-reflection but also self-compassion.”

Rogers plays her music often, and looking back; she admitted she was in a bad space back then. But now, she has a good time singing along to her songs after realizing nothing lasts forever.

In 2016, she promoted her single, “James,” on Twitter and wrote: “‘James’ is apparently also on the @Spotify Viral Chart. He’s one of my best friends to this day.”

Although she sings about her personal experiences, Rogers prefers keeping her love life private (much like fellow female singer Keri Hilson). Her Instagram is filled with pictures of herself and her live performances.

Maggie Rogers Does Not Like to Talk About Her Personal Life

Maggie Rogers has made it clear that her personal life is off limits as she expressed dissatisfaction after a radio interview in 2018.

In September of that year, she shared that an interviewer asked mainly questions about her personal life – including mentions about an ex-lover – instead of her music.

Judging by her social media, she prefers keeping that part of her life to herself because her main focus is her work and partying lifestyle.

In addition, Rogers posted a snapshot showing her posing while holding a cookie against her mouth in an August 2020 social media upload.

The star captioned the post: “Make out w my chocolate chip boyfriend. Coast of Maine, July 2020.” So far, this is the only “boyfriend” that has appeared in her posts.

Rogers once advised her fan to “be the boyfriend you want to see in the world” after the said individual asked her to help her find a lover.

While she prefers having a private love life, Maggie Rogers does not mind sharing that through her music. Her song “Love You for a Long Time” was about her former boyfriend.

Rogers also wrote a song called “James” about one of her best friends who plays the trumpet in “Satellite.” The music, track 2 on Blood Ballet, shows the depth of her relationship with James.

In a June 2016 post, she shared on Facebook that her songs: “James,” “Satellite,” and “Resonate Body” made the Spotify Viral Chart and expressed:

“Never thought that years later there would be ears for these songs.”

Rogers also wrote the song “I’ve Got a Friend” as a gift to her friend. She once revealed that she initially wrote the love song for her pal’s birthday (similar to actor Scott Eastwood who received a portrait from his friend on his birthday)and later asked her permission to put it on record.

Rogers said friends became a big part of her life amid the pandemic. She became close with them in such a way that they became family.
