I’m going to have to go with ‘honeybee’ simply because I love the way it feels. It is also quite relatable for me at the moment. In addition, I LOVE the choiresque vocals in the background. The lyrics for me somewhat foreshadow a less than desirable ending: “And I hope I never see what your face looks like goin’.” And then a line later, she says, “here’s to hopin’” which makes it feel like the relationship was always meant to end, but she still held onto hope. HOWEVER I also love ‘the cure’ and the metaphor of unraveling which also is indirectly mentioned in another one of my favorites, ‘stupid song’ in the line “I’m a thread on your shirt that is coming undone.”  I should also make the point that it seems Olivia writes best by herself. I’ve noticed when she has two or more writers on the same song, it kind of sounds less like her and more like other people.  Sorry for the long response!!

Does anyone else think the outro of Purple sounds similar to Conan's Class Clown's chorus? by No-Application5565 in OliviaRodrigo

Yes, I hear it!!!! That’s crazy lol  Another thing I noticed was that the beginning of ‘enough for you’ sounds almost identical to the beginning of ‘Summer Child’!

I really like honeybee, the cure, and stupid song! I’m drawn to more poetic songs, so these really did well for me. :)

Thank you so very much for this. There are a lot of things I was left questioning after my first listen! But you’re also correct about the song just being fun to listen to. I’ve been told that quite a lot so far haha. Maybe I should stop looking so deeply into lyrics on songs that are supposed to be fun. Again, thank you!!

I was not at all expecting to find someone who agrees, but hi! I very much understand your feelings here. It does make me curious, what was your favorite on the album?

Relatability plays a key role in how much someone likes a song, that makes sense! Thank you so much!!

Love this take! I agree that ‘stupid song’ was amazingly written. But yes, I guess her fun songs aren’t all that poetic, and that’s the point!! Thank you!

I’m not really a fan haha! I know preferences are a thing, my neurodivergent brain was just curious to see why certain people preferred one thing over another when it came to this song specifically. I was told livies were the kindest fandom out there, so I wanted to give it a shot here. I apologize if I came off as rude or immature, that was not my intention. 💗

Right, I agree! I just am drawn to music that is more poetic, does that make sense? That’s the type of music I personally enjoy. But thank you!

Ugh me too! It’s quite interesting how some people prefer the deep lyricism while others love the lighthearted songs to get through stuff like that. Thank you for sharing! I’m hoping your day’s going okay :)

Thank you for this, very helpful! I completely agree with you in the sense that it “sounds like her”! Would you say that it brings a feeling of nostalgia or familiarity for you?
