#94 of 366: get him back!, Olivia Rodrigo

I absolutely adored Rodrigo’s first album Sour. She is so incredibly adept at synthesizing late-teenage relationship angst in musical form. It’s a pure distillation of it honestly.

The chorus slaps in this song, as the kids say, so here it is!

“I want to get him back, I want to make him really jealous, wanna make him feel bad, oh, I wanna get him back, ’cause then again, I really miss him, and it makes me real sad, oh, I want sweet revenge and I want him again, I want to get to him back, back, back”

Just a romp from start to finish. The standout verse? part? whatever. Half of these songs don’t even follow that kind of logic. Verse just sounds way better than part or section. Anyway, we’re back and it’s this one:

“I wanna key his car, I wanna make him lunch, I wanna break his heart, then be the one to stitch it up, wanna kiss his face, with an uppercut, I wanna meet his mom, just to tell her her son sucks”

Great punky vibe to this song. It’s a bop. (The kids also say that I hear)

BGDG! Love ya!
