This will mark Rodrigo’s comeback after the release of her 2021 Grammy-Awards-winning debut album, SOUR, with chart-topping songs “drivers license,” “good 4 u,” “déjà vu,” and “traitor.”
Livies (Rodrigo’s fan name) believed that the song is heavily inspired by Twilight (movie) as the singer is a big fan of the franchise.
