             Olivia Isabel Rodrigo (born February 20, 2003) is an American actress, singer, and songwriter. She is known for her roles as Paige Olvera on the Disney Channel series Bizaardvark and Nini Salazar-Roberts on the Disney+ series High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. Rodrigo signed with Interscope and Geffen Records in 2020, and released her debut single "Drivers License" in January 2021, which reached number one on charts in various countries worldwide, including the United States. Her critically acclaimed debut album, Sour, was released on May 21, 2021. It was preceded by two more singles, "Déjà Vu" and "Good 4 U", with the latter becoming her second single to debut at number one in the US.

           Sour (stylized in all caps) is the debut studio album by American singer and songwriter Olivia Rodrigo, released on May 21, 2021, via Geffen Records. It was produced by Daniel Nigro, who co-wrote the album alongside Rodrigo. Inspired by Rodrigo's favorite genres and singer-songwriters, Sour is primarily a pop and alt-pop record that sprawls between energetic pop punk and bedroom pop ballads. Its subject matter centers on adolescence, failed romance and heartache.

    The album explores Rodrigo's perils and discoveries as a 17-year-old, with its title referring to the uncomfortable "sour" emotions youngsters experience but are often shamed for, such as anger, jealousy and unhappiness. Sour received acclaim from music critics, who regarded it an impressive debut album and praised Rodrigo's musical versatility, honest lyrics, and Gen Z appeal.

           Three singles preceded Sour's release, all of which reached the top 10 of the US Billboard Hot 100. The lead single, "Drivers License", achieved global success and acclaim, debuted atop the Hot 100, and propelled Rodrigo to mainstream prominence. It was followed by "Deja Vu", which reached number 8 on the chart, making her the first artist in the chart's history to debut their first two singles inside the top 10. "Good 4 U" marked the album's second single to top the Hot 100, making Sour the first debut album in history to spawn two number-one debuts on the chart.

We broke up a month ago

Your friends are mine

You know I know you've moved on

Found someone new

One more girl who brings out the better in you

 

And I thought my heart was detached

From all the sunlight of our past

But she's so sweet

She's so pretty

Does she mean you forgot about me?

 

Oh, I hope you're happy

But not like how you were with me

I'm selfish, I know

I can't let you go

So find someone great, but don't find no one better

I hope you're happy, but don't be happier

 

And do you tell her she's the most beautiful girl you've ever seen?

An eternal love bullshit you know you'll never mean

Remember when I believed

You meant it when you said it first to me?

 

And now I'm pickin' her apart

Like cuttin' her down make you miss my wretched heart

But she's beautiful

She looks kind

She probably gives you butterflies

 

I hope you're happy

But not like how you were with me

I'm selfish, I know

I can't let you go

So find someone great, but don't find no one better

 

I hope you're happy

I wish you all the best

Really

Say you love her, baby

Just not like you love me

And think of me fondly when your hand's around her

I hope you're happy, but don't be happier

 

I hope you're happy

Just not like how you were with me

I'm selfish, I know

Can't let you go

So find someone great, but don't find no one better

I hope you're happy, but don't be happier.
