![]() 'Cause let's be honest, they kinda do sound the sameĪnother actress, I hate to think that I was just your type That we did that too? She thinks it's special ![]() It's funny that the first line of the song talks about car rides, considering it's the followup to Olivia's smash hit, "Drivers License." Laughing 'bout how small it looks on you (Ha-ha-ha-ha) Then, we can decide for ourselves if this story is "completely made up" like Olivia claims. Just keep that in mind as you check out the lyrics to "Deja Vu" below, provided by Genius. "I thought it’d be interesting to write a song, using deja vu, about how sometimes when somebody moves on in a relationship and they get with a new partner, you watch it and you’re like, 'oh my gosh, that was all of the stuff that I did.' I think that’s a really relatable, universal thing." "I get deja vu all the time," Olivia told American Songwriter. Of course, because of the love triangle Olivia was previously embroiled in, many jumped to the conclusion that "Deja Vu" is also about Joshua Bassett and Sabrina Carpenter like "Driver's License." It seems like, though, the song isn't inspired by any actual relationship at all. "Deja Vu" is all about Olivia's ex's new relationship, which seems eerily similar to her old one. But the key to letting it out is keeping it together.Olivia Rodrigo is back and she's following up her record breaking song, "Drivers License" with her new track "Deja Vu." The song and music video dropped today and fans are already dissecting the heck out of the lyrics. ![]() Her content is all-caps, but her delivery is lowercase, lacing bedroom pop with a vulnerability and anger rare for teen pop: “Where’s my fucking teenage dream?” she wonders on “brutal.” “I’m the biggest emo drama queen,” Rodrigo tells Apple Music. Like Swift-and Lorde, too-Rodrigo has a knack for conjuring big feelings through small details: an ex singing along to their Billy Joel with his new love (“deja vu”), reading his self-help books “so you’d think that I was smart” (“enough for you”). But, really, what could prepare you for breaking the global single-week streaming record for a female artist? Especially on your first single? And getting a nod from Taylor Swift in the meantime? (Along with “drivers license” winning the Apple Music Award for Top Song of the Year in 2021, Rodrigo’s debut LP, SOUR, was the Top Album of the Year and Rodrigo herself was named Breakthrough Artist of the Year.) Born in Temecula, California, in 2003, she started lessons in piano, voice, and acting as a child, and went on to star in Disney+’s High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. Rodrigo was just 17 when the song came out, but she had been getting ready for years. “And I got home and I was like, ‘Maybe I’ll write a song about this: crying in the car.’” Rodrigo had tapped into a universal experience: The middle-aged guys weren’t teenage girls, but they’d also driven around listening to sad songs. ![]() “I was driving around my neighborhood listening to really sad songs, like, crying in the car,” Rodrigo told Apple Music. By the end of their discourse, they’re all in tears, singing along. ![]() Another complains that it just sounds like a teenage girl sitting alone at a piano. One puts “drivers license” on the jukebox. A few weeks after Olivia Rodrigo’s “drivers license” became the biggest song in the world, Saturday Night Live ran a sketch that featured a bunch of middle-aged guys shooting pool in a dive bar. ![]()
