Olivia Rodrigo talked with Vogue about her new album:

The fan theories were right: these are all love songs, but specifically about the obsession and anxiety of it – or the depression when your lover is gone. They’re “sad love songs”, she’ll later write over email. “I realised all my favourite romantic love songs were beautiful because they had a tinge of fear or yearning in them.”

The first is smooth, trippy soft rock about the spirituality of finding the man of your dreams. Her voice sounds so different – laid-back and mature. Once or twice, she tells me, she’s had premonitions of her relationships. It’s part feminine intuition, part manifestation, but also maybe the high achiever in her. “I’m very stubborn and if I like someone, I’m like, ‘Yo, this is going to happen. This is rare! Let’s do it.’” The kismet feeling is embodied in the chorus. “The person that the song is about is great,” she says, grinning.
