This song is pretty catchy as well, and is probably one of my favorites from the album. This song is about being in a relationship and making progress, but then ending up in a completely different stage in the end. The fourth song, “1 step forward, 3 steps back,” samples “New Year’s Day,” by Taylor Swift, who is also Oliva’s biggest inspiration. This song can be constantly heard on TikTok, which I think is why I ended up getting tired of listening to it over and over again. The hit song was also released with a music video, which basically just shows Olivia driving around in a car and singing, but still has pretty visuals. The song itself is extremely catchy and it’s also a song about heartbreak, which again, listeners can relate to. Once this song was released, fans started speculating that the song was about Joshua Bassett, as well as Sabrina Carpenter and the drama behind all of that. The third song on the album is definitely something almost everyone has heard: “drivers license,” the first song Olivia released. The lyrics really capture what it’s like to be betrayed by an old significant other, especially when that significant other moved on to the person they referred to as “just a friend.” It’s definitely slower and has a deep meaning that listeners could easily relate to. Personally, it isn’t my favorite on the album, but I’d still listen to it if it randomly came on.Ī song about watching someone you love find somebody new almost instantaneously after a break up is the next song on the album, and it’s titled “traitor.” This is a softer song compared to the previous one. I think a certain amount of people could really enjoy the song. It’s sort of a punk-rock song that is basically Olivia ranting and screaming about how she feels about herself, and how low her self confidence is. The first song of the album, “brutal,” sounds very different from the songs she released prior to the album. In preparation for the album, Olivia released three songs prior to it: “drivers license,” “deja vu,” and “good 4 u,” which all quickly became popular. Each song also has their own meaning which can reel listeners in to discover the meaning each song holds. After releasing three hit songs, Olivia Rodrigo released her first album called “SOUR,” which includes a lot of different styles of music and songs that listeners can easily relate to.
