Role Model has dropped his third studio album, Chuck Timely & The Hourglass, and fans are already theorizing which lyrics are targeted towards his famous ex-girlfriend, influencer Emma Chamberlain.
Role Model (legally Tucker Pillsbury) released his album, Chuck Timely & The Hourglass, on August 7, 2026, and many fans are convinced that certain tracks reference his former flame. Tucker and Emma dated for about three and a half years, from early 2020 until their breakup in October of 2023.
The pair had many fans, with thousands of edits released in the years to follow mourning their sweet relationship. This comes after Emma revealed her "biggest insecurity" during a YouTube video.

After their split, Tucker released his second album, Kansas Anymore (2024), which famously included many songs fans believe were about Emma and his devastation over their breakup. Some of these tracks include Some Protector, The Longest Goodbye, Something, Somehow, Someday, Frances, Deeply Still in Love, Superglue, and more.
Seven months after their public breakup, Emma began dating musician Peter McPoland. The pair dated for approximately two years before breaking up in late 2025. Emma confirmed their romance and amicable split during a November 2025 episode of her podcast, Anything Goes.
After their split, Emma playfully posted a TikTok dancing to one of Role Model's famous songs about her. This sparked rumors that she might've been interested in rekindling their love, after Tucker had publicly yearned over for her for the past two years while she dated someone else.
Now, many fans are convinced that the song 'Stain' from Tucker's new album, Chuck Timely & The Hourglass, references their relationship. Many are convinced the lyrics suggest Emma reached out to Tucker after her breakup with Peter, and he gave her the cold shoulder, with the lyrics suggesting that she get over her heartache through music.

He sings, "Well, I'm sorry that it didn't work out with your man / But there's nothing fun in feeling like a backup plan / Just write a few songs, put a pen in your hand / That worked for me, babe, hey."
The song continues, "It's a stain that I'll never get out / It's a stain, the kind they warn you about / It's so vain to be calling the house / It's a stain that I can't get out, oh, no."

While Tucker has not publicly confirmed this, many fans believe that it could be the case. In a TikTok sharing a snippet of the song, one user wrote, "going from some protector to being called a STAIN is wild btw."

Taking to the comments, many of Tucker's fans defended the choice, sharing that they understand his perspective in the split. One person wrote, "love emma but it really is icky when exes reach out after you get fully over them so like i get him." Another added, "he waited so long for her and finally got over it, so I can understand why he feels this way lol."
While a third person agreed, "ppl are saying this song is mean but nothing is more annoying and infuriating than an ex trying to get back in your life after you have moved on from them. i understand him 100% it's a valid feeling."
Others are also convinced that the song 'Harmony' could also, in part, be referencing Emma. At the beginning of the song, it seems that he's reflecting on finally getting over someone after years had gone by.

The song goes, "Three years since I last got high / Couple minutes since you crossed my mind / I'd like to think I'm doing better now / Yeah, this is my come-around / Letting these walls come down / Four years since I last felt seen / Reading 'bout you in the magazines."
The lyrics continue, "It's funny, last night I stood right here / Thinking it'll all come clear / S--t, it only took five years, uh."
The song then goes on to talk about changing course, as he sings that all of the pain and "everything he felt back then" all makes sense because it "led me up to your front doorstep." In this, many believe Tucker is referencing his new relationship with actress Dakota Johnson, which he recently went public with.

In a newly posted Reddit thread, someone asked if any fans thought songs off the album were about Emma, to which one listener replied, "probably harmony as well?"
To which someone else countered, "Harmony is definitely about Dakota."
And another responded, "I think it’s about both. starts off with his breakup with Emma then dakotas breakup with her ex from a year ago(ish) i think the point of the song is how he acknowledges how their separate, painful journeys ultimately brought them to each other. very cute 10/10 love it."
