Olivia Rodrigo on the pressure she felt to follow up “drivers license” and ‘SOUR’: “We didn’t have time for revisions on SOUR. The whole world was watching. I wrote and we just fucking recorded and put it out. Then with GUTS, I was under so much pressure, like, ‘Oh my god, I’m never going to be able to make another good song.’ It wasn’t even making music to make music. It was making music to please people or prove something… With this album, I actually was like, ‘I’m done with the sophomore one. Now I can have fun again.’”
Olivia Rodrigo tells Cosmopolitan her new album has both sad and fun songs: “There was so much more joy in the songwriting. There are some songs that are plain old sad but also some songs that are just plain old fun. … I was really excited to write about joy, love, and passion in a way that I had never really done.”
