In the midst of the tornado of variables that contributed to Rodrigo's success with âDrivers License,â we must keep in mind that at the center of this incredible success story is a phenomenally gifted and diligent youngster. Rodrigo, for her part, is unconcerned with stoking the rumor mill; she is just relishing in her triumph, as she should. When asked about the fan theories, she told Billboard, âIt resonates with people because it is so emotional, and I believe that everything else is irrelevant. ââTo see it succeedâto take a traumatic event in my life and transform it into something beautiful that may assist others through a difficult time, just like I was going through a difficult timeâit's just so empowering,â Rodrigo said, âI am glad that I was able to achieve that.â

Drivers License Olivia Rodrigo Lyrics Clean Version
However, âdrivers licenseâ is not a Swift rip-off; rather, it is a Frankenstein version of the last decade or so in pop. Rodrigo's calm moments are reminiscent of Billie Eilish, while her anthemic moments are reminiscent of Lorde, with a dash of Alessia Cara thrown in for good measure. Naturally, sheâs also wrestling with the adolescent and suburban anguish that Eilish, Lorde, and Cara have all made their calling cards and attempting to make it all as cinematic as the 1975. (The video is mostly beautiful in nature, with no action to compel it.) As so, âdrivers licenseâ has something for practically every kind of pop fan, wrapped in a song that relies on the universally relatable rite of passage that is learning to drive, with all the freedom and progress it entails. While this is a derivative variant on several themes, it also explains why artists have relied on driving as a narrative method and creative spark for decades. Therefore, if âdrivers licenseâ tops the charts next week, Rodrigo will join a long line of 17-year-olds who have worked their way through shite from the driver's seat on their way to a hit. Please, seatbelts!

Lyrics Olivia Rodrigo - Drivers License (Clean - Lyrics)
YouTube image Driving will never become a stale source of inspiration for pop music. From the Beatles' âDrive My Carâ to Taylor Swift's âGetaway Car,â from Tracy Chapman's âFast Carâ to the tropical house cover that became even more famous. Olivia Rodrigo, star of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, is now rewriting pop history with another coming-of-age tale set in the DMV: According to early forecasts, her first song, âdrivers license,â is now positioned for the year's first No. 1 debut. That is a somewhat strange statement to get through. What is popular history? Produced by a seventeen-year-old Disney star?? With a song about obtaining a driver's license??? However, Rodrigo's song came to be as a result of a heritage of youthful songs that before it.
