Some fans see the similarity as a nod of appreciation to Swift, while others think the bridge is just too similar. So when “Cruel Summer” was released, although not as a single, the unique sound of the bridge was one to remember. Swift takes her fans to “ Bridge City” in it, according to MTV. I was scrolling Instagram when someone pointed out that the bridge of “Déjà Vu” sounds awfully familiar and compared it to the bridge of Swift’s “Cruel Summer.” Specifically, Rodrigo’s lines, “I know you get deja vu” and Swift’s, “I don’t want to keep secrets just to keep you.” The two songs maintain a distinct sound until the bridge. On April 1, Rodrigo released another single, “Déjà Vu,” along with the announcement of her debut album which is set for release May 21. Meanwhile, Olivia Rodrigo is an up-and-coming artist who got her start in acting on the Disney channel show, “Bizaardvark” and the Disney+ series, “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.” In January, Rodrigo released her record-breaking debut single, “Driver’s License,” which received praise from Taylor Swift as they were currently sharing the top charts together, Swift with tracks from her latest album “Evermore.”
Natalia Barr of Consequence of Sound deemed “Cruel Summer” an “essential track” and “one of the most perfect pop songs of 2019.” In August of 2019, Taylor Swift released her seventh studio album, but her first one after leaving Big Machine Records, titled “Lover.” The second track on this album is “Cruel Summer,” a fast beat song about an intense, painful summer romance. Listen to the hidden lyric in “Deja Vu” above, around the 2:10-minute mark.Some may say Rodrigo borrowed a little too much inspiration for Swift but in this case maybe we can sit back and just appreciate two great songs. But ‘Drivers License’ did give me a lot of confidence in that regard.”
I just didn’t want to be pigeonholed heartbreak ballad girl. I think people probably would resonate with that, and they resonated with ‘Drivers License,’ but we really wanted to show that I’m a versatile songwriter and I’m a versatile artist and I can write heartbreak songs, but I can also make cool alternative pop songs. She continued: “Us and my team didn’t want to do the safe thing of putting out another heartbreak ballad. So that definitely took a lot of pressure off.” “I didn’t ever have to chose the next single knowing ‘Drivers License’ was this huge success. We chose it a long time before ‘Drivers License’ ever came out,” she said. “We chose this song to come out after ‘Drivers License’ probably in September. I don’t know if only certain people can hear it, but it’s really buried and very subtle.”Įlsewhere in the interview, Rodrigo talked about how her team had already chosen ‘Deja Vu’ to be her next single before ‘Drivers License’ was even released. He’s listened to it 200 times and never heard it, which I think is super cool. My A&R was probably listening to this song, poor guy, he’s probably listened to this song like 200 times because it went through so many mixes. “When I sing, ‘Saying I love you / In between the chorus and the verse.’ Only a couple people pick up on it, but I whisper ‘I love you’ in the track, it’s super buried. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Rodrigo broke down which part of the track the buried lyric can be heard: But according to Rodrigo, a few fans are in for a surprise while listening to “Deja Vu” as the track features a hidden lyric.
