Pop princes, Olivia Rodrigo, recently spilled some major tea about the lyrics she wrote for some of her latest hits. Yes, that’s right! We’re talking about some of the lines she had for the songs in the “GUTS” album, and she honestly had no shame in addressing those. There are always deeper meanings behind the tracks, and you should know, that it’s more than just melodies; it’s about pouring her heart out!
It all went down on “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” where Olivia first talked about “Lacy.” Olivia’s own words? “Very emo of me, writing that.” She shared a little backstory, saying it all came thanks to a poetry class initially. Here’s what she said:
“I wrote a poem called ‘Lacy’ for one of the assignments, and I really liked it. I’m like, ‘I’m gonna turn it into a song!’”
Then she spilled the beans about “All-American B*tch,” noted for its angry lyrics. But plot twist! The “I am light as a feather, I’m as stiff as a board” line is a clever nod to a children’s game – talk about a switch-up! Mixing up a pop-rock song with this childish feeling? Only Olivia could do it.
So, now you know it: next time you’re jamming to the Grammy-nominated album, “GUTS,” remember that there’s a word of emotion and a background behind each lyric. As you probably know at this point, Olivia Rodrigo is all about crafting stories, sharing experiences, and connecting with fans on a whole new level, so we love it when she opens up and spills the tea on these juicy details in the making of her music.
