Most memorable parts of Sour
Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter and Joshua Bassett have been tangled up in one of the most publicized love triangles of 2021. In response to the drama, Olivia Rodrigo released her hit single “Drivers License”, followed by her new album Sour. Here are some of the best moments of each song on Sour.
Brutal: This song is perfect and messy. Listen to it when life feels like too much, and everything is overwhelming. It describes how life is supposed to be perfect because you are always told that, but in reality it’s actually far from that.
Favorite lyrics: “They say these are the golden years, but I wish I could disappear.”
Traitor: Listen to “Traitor” when someone close to you doesn’t stay loyal to you, and it still feels like betrayal when they choose someone else because you’ve done so much for them.
Favorite lyrics: “You gave me your word, but that didn’t matter…guess you didn’t cheat, but you’re still a traitor.”
Drivers license: Listen to this when you really can’t get over someone, even though they seem like they’re perfectly fine. You are reminded of them everywhere, and in everything, but they seem unbothered.
Favorite lyrics: “And I just can’t imagine how you could be so okay now that I’m gone.”
1 step forward, 3 steps back: Listen to this when you are receiving mixed signals. It makes you want to change and second guess yourself. It makes you wonder what you are doing wrong, even if they are the ones who could be at fault.
Favorite lyrics: “Do you love me, want me, hate me, boy? I don’t understand.”
Deja vu: Listen to this when someone you used to do everything with, is doing all those things with someone new now.
Favorite lyrics: “So when you gonna tell her, that we did that too.”
Good 4 u: Listen to this when you are losing your mind over someone, your emotions are all over the place; while they have easily found a way to move on with no sign of emotion for you, as if everything that you guys went through together never happened.
Favorite lyrics: “You’re doing great out there without me, baby, God, I wish I could do that.”
Enough for you: Listen to this for when you feel rejected. Even when you tried to be your very best, you put more effort into everything for them, but it wasn’t enough.
Favorite lyrics: “Tried so hard to be everything that you liked, just for you to say you’re not the compliment type.”
Happier: Listen to this for when you see a loved one with someone new, and want them to be happy, but you don’t want them to forget you or be with anyone better than you.
Favorite lyrics: “Does she mean you forgot about me.”
Jealousy, jealousy: Can I just say I love this song? Listen to this for when you just can’t stand to be yourself anymore. Everyone on the internet looks so much happier, prettier and fitter and it makes you feel horrible about yourself. You sometimes wish you could be them.
Favorite lyrics: “All I see is what I should be, happier, prettier, jealousy, jealousy.”
Favorite crime: Listen to this when you miss someone who you did everything to be with, but you both knew you were still wrong for each other. You just wish they have no regrets.
Favorite lyrics: “I was your willing accomplice…cause I was going down, but I was doing it with you.”
Hope ur ok: Listen to this when you need a little bit of hope and want to feel a little uplifted.
Favorite lyrics: “And when the clouds won’t iron out, and the monsters creep into your house, and every door is hard to close, well, I hope you know how proud I am you were created.”
