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. It reached number one
in multiple countries, including the United States. Her critically acclaimed
debut album, Sour, was
released on May 21, 2021. It was preceded by two more singles, "Deja Vu" and "Good 4 U",
with the latter becoming her second single to debut at number one in the US.
"Good 4 U" (stylized in all lowercase) is a
song by American singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo.
It was released on May 14, 2021, through Geffen and Interscope Records,
as the third single from Rodrigo's
debut studio album Sour,
which was released on May 21, 2021. The song was announced on May 10 via Rodrigo's social
media. It was written by Rodrigo and its producer Dan Nigro.
A song blending pop punk, pop rock, grunge, and teen pop,
"Good 4 U" is set to electric guitars and drums, with lyrics
addressing a former lover who moved on very quickly after a breakup. It received acclaim from music
critics, who praised the instrumentation reminiscent of the 1990s-2000s and
Rodrigo's crisp songwriting. The accompanying music video
features Rodrigo as a cheerleader setting out for revenge, visually alluding to
the 1990s and 2000s' cult classic films Audition,
The Princess Diaries,
and Jennifer's Body.
The single reached number one in Australia,
Austria, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand,
Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Slovakia, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the
United States; it was the second chart-topping single from Sour in many of
those countries, following Rodrigo's debut single "Drivers
License" (2021). Sour gained the distinction of
being the first debut album in history to spawn two number-one debuts on the US
Billboard Hot 100. "Good 4 U" peaked
within the top 10, top 20 and top 40 of various other territories.
(Ah)
Good for you, I guess
you moved on really easily
You found a new girl and it only took a couple weeks
Remember when you said that you wanted to give me the world?
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
And good for you, I
guess that you've been workin' on yourself
I guess that therapist I found for you, she really helped
Now you can be a better man for your brand new girl
Well, good for you,
you look happy and healthy
Not me, if you ever cared to ask
Good for you, you're doin' great out there without me
Baby, God, I wish that I could do that
I've lost my mind
I've spent the night cryin' on the floor of my bathroom
But you're so unaffected, I really don't get it
But I guess good for you
Well, good for you, I
guess you're gettin' everything you want
You bought a new car and your career's really takin' off
It's like we never even happened
Baby, what the fuck is up with that? (Huh?)
And good for you,
it's like you never even met me
Remember when you swore to God I was the only person who ever got you?
Well, screw that, and screw you
You will never have to hurt the way you know that I do
Well, good for you,
you look happy and healthy
Not me, if you ever cared to ask
Good for you, you're doin' great out there without me
Baby, God, I wish that I could do that
I've lost my mind,
I've spent the night
Cryin' on the floor of my bathroom
But you're so unaffected, I really don't get it
But I guess good for you
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Maybe I'm too
emotional
But your apathy's like a wound in salt
Maybe I'm too emotional
Or maybe you never cared at all
Maybe I'm too
emotional
Your apathy is like a wound in salt
Maybe I'm too emotional
Or maybe you never cared at all
Well, good for you,
you look happy and healthy
Not me, if you ever cared to ask
Good for you, you're doin' great out there without me
Baby, like a damn sociopath
I’ve lost my mind,
I've spent the night
Cryin' on the floor of my bathroom
But you're so unaffected, I really don't get it
But I guess good for you
Well, good for you, I
guess you moved on really easily.
