More than two years after the release of her GRAMMY-winning album, Sour, Olivia Rodrigo says she’s singing to a different tune.

The 20-year-old recently opened up to The Los Angeles Times, sharing she’s evolved quite a bit since the release of that album and doesn’t fancy a number of the songs anymore. "Some of them I don’t really love so much anymore," Rodrigo expressed. "I just feel like I’ve grown out of some of them."
While she wasn’t willing to share which songs in particular she doesn’t “love so much” anymore, she was willing to share one song she was not referring to — and that’s the debut single and her first number one, “Driver’s License.”
"I remember putting the song out,” she shared. “Still super-heartbroken, and people would come up to me and say, 'Wow, this takes me back to my first heartbreak.' Now, I listen to it and I totally get it. It actually does transport me back to when I thought I was never gonna love anyone else. I’m like, Awww — that’s so cute."
Olivia has continued to challenge herself with her music in the years since the release of Sour, something she credits to collaborator, Dan Nigro.
"I sometimes think if it weren’t for him, I would have been writing sad piano ballads forever," she shared before detailing how the creative process for her sophomore album, Guts, differed from her first.
"This time, I wasn’t 17 years old, going through my first heartbreak, crying at the piano, and a song just flies out. I had to sharpen my songwriting skills and my singing skills. It felt like a different creative experience."
