Sour, the new album by Olivia Rodrigo: 5 songs to dedicate to your ex

Ok, you will all remember the triangle Olivia Rodrigo – Joshua Bassett – Sabrina Carpenter, which at the beginning of the year had kept us all glued to our smartphones. Well, just on that occasion the pop star had risen to prominence with the single Driver’s license, who was talking about his ex and that blonde girl that, according to him, he should never have worried. Well.

It has now been added to the tracklist of Sour, his first studio album, written during the pandemic. It has been out for a few weeks and is already at the top of the charts, in addition to depopulating on TikTok.

For me, Olivia Rodrigo’s album is beautiful just because I have been saying for years that Adele and Taylor Swift are always extremely sour towards exes and she makes an album where it is more than both of them put together and calls it SOUR pic.twitter.com/CZMuJQkNBp

The title refers to the bitterness in the mouth that leaves us with a story that ends. Not surprisingly, the singer said she was inspired by several of her musical idols, including Taylor Swift. Needless to tell you that among the tracks there are several references and digs to his ex who, of course, remind us of the various human cases that (unfortunately) we too have encountered in our life.

Here are 5 you can get inspired by if you want to text your ex:

TRAITOR

Let’s start with a bang, because if you have been betrayed this is for you. The golden rule says that if after you break up he already has another one, that other probably existed before. Warning: betrayal is not just physical. In a couple, there are also disrespect, carelessness and don’ts because they often betray the partner’s trust. It took you two weeks/To go off and date her/Guess you didn’t cheat/But you’re still a traitor.

ALREADY SEEN

Social media, a cross and delight of the love stories that end. If you still follow your exes and you realize that with the new flame they do exactly the same things they did with you, they use the same nicknames, they go to the same places… wouldn’t you want to point it out to them, somehow?

So, when are you gonna tell her/That we did that too? She thinks it’s special/But it’s all re-used/That was our place, I found it first/I made the jokes you tell to her/ Do you get déjà vu when she’s with you? Do not recycle anything, each love is unique because it is unique.

GOOD 4 U

When the other has moved on and you are still there crying on the bathroom floor looking at the old photos, you just want to be understood and comforted. But hey, certainly not from that person who caused this to you. Anyhow, if in front of your requests for help he appears cold and aloof, tell him this: 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!

ENOUGH FOR YOU

Ok, you have done everything and more to please your partner, you have indulged in his passions, memorized his favorite songs, seen and reviewed the same films 100 times. But then you were replaced and there all your certainties collapsed. Because if I gave him everything, did he still choose someone else? Don’t worry, you learn from mistakes: you don’t have to be enough for another person, but for yourself. One day, someone will arrive who will love you for who you are. But in the meantime: Feel sorry for yourself/’Cause someday I’ll be everything to somebody else/And they’ll think that I am so exciting/And you’ll be the one who’s crying.

HAPPIER

At the end of it all, when the sadness has passed, when you have disposed of anger and disappointment, what to wish for the ex? To be happy, of course. BUT NO MORE HAPPY THAN AS HE WAS WHEN YOU WERE TOGETHER. Here it is. Because revenge is a dish that must always be served cold. I hope you’re happy, I wish you all the best, really/Say you love her, baby, just not like you loved me/And think of me fondly when your hands are on her/I hope you’re happy, but don’t be happier
