Digital Editor Halima Ahad tells us why Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘get him back!’ is a song to sing your heart out to
Olivia Rodrigo has recently released her long-awaited sophomore album GUTS. One of the hit singles from the album was ‘get him back!’ and it brings all the angst and pop-rock fusion to a breakup as well as addressing girlhood in modern age America.
The lyricism behind the single is unforgettable
One of my favourite things about the song is the effortless fusion between the pop and rock sound as well as Rodrigo’s vocals complimenting both genres extremely well. The lyricism behind the single is unforgettable. ‘He had an ego and a temper and a wandering eye / He said he’s six-foot-two and I’m like, “Dude, nice try”’ illustrates how Rodrigo is addressing everything wrong with her lover in a sarcastic tone.
The music video highlights Rodrigo’s tumultuous emotions after her breakup, with many versions of herself coming out to sing each lyric of the song to the faceless men who have wronged her. The song gives a similar vibe to one of her debut singles ‘good 4 u’ as the singer sings about her love and sweet revenge towards her lover and how they have ultimately brought about these emotions.
Rodrigo never fails to bring an element of chaotic fun to her songs
Overall, the song is one to sing your heart out to. Rodrigo never fails to bring an element of chaotic fun to her songs and this is definitely one of them.
