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."

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 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.
