Olivia Rodrigo Releases Her Latest Album 'GUTS' about Pain and Self-Discovery!

Reported by Teen Vogue, Olivia Rodrigo wants to show her maturity through the album GUTS. She also said that GUTS is about pain and the search for her identity in life. In addition, in her conversation with Zane Lowe from Apple Music, Olivia Rodrigo and her producer worked hard to present something new and fresh for the album GUTS.

Before releasing her album last Friday, Olivia Rodrigo caused a stir among her fans, KLovers. On August 1, 2023, Olivia Rodrigo uploaded a video on her Instagram account featuring 12 song titles for the album GUTS. The 12 songs are 'All American B*tch', 'Bad Idea Right?', 'Vampire', 'Lacy', 'Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl', 'Making the Bed', 'Logical', 'Get Him Back', 'Love is Embarrassing', 'The Grudge', 'Pretty Isn't Pretty', and 'Teenage Dream'.

Reported by Pitchfork, Olivia Rodrigo revealed some difficulties in making the album GUTS. One of them is feeling stuck and not getting any inspiration. However, when she made the album SOUR, there was a lot of inspiration that came because she was heartbroken, KLovers. But Olivia Rodrigo found a way out by taking poetry classes at the University of South California and receiving guidance from St. Vincent and Jack White.

In August 2022, Olivia Rodrigo and producer Daniel Nigro made this album in their home garage studio, the same place where they made the album SOUR. Like its predecessor, GUTS has several genres like pop-punk and alternative rock that are exciting.

Reported by People News, Olivia Rodrigo opens up about the first single from this album, 'Vampire'. She said the meaning of this song is broader than fans' expectations. People News says 'Vampire' is not always about someone using other people's fame for social climbing, regardless of what is seen. Turns out, this song depicts someone manipulative to the point where they completely exploit others like a vampire 'sucking them dry'.

Single both of them, 'Bad Idea Right?' is a song that tells the story of someone who knows that contacting their ex again is a bad idea, but chooses to do it anyway. Well, this is what they call galmon, KLovers! It is known that the concept of the music video 'Bad Idea Right?' is inspired by horror-comedy films from the early 90s.

Overall, GUTS is an album that portrays several topics. According to Pitchfork, GUTS depicts topics such as the harsh reality of life, exploitative relationships, and unrealistic beauty standards.

GUTS is a 39-minute album. However, fans feel a little disappointed because they consider the duration to be too short. In fact, Olivia Rodrigo has prepared four bonus songs that are available on the deluxe version of the GUTS album! So, how about it, KLovers? Have you listened to the GUTS album yet?
