LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Olivia Rodrigo kicked off her new era with the release of 'Vampire,' the lead single from her upcoming second album 'Guts.' This powerful rock ballad begins softly, with delicate piano notes that gradually build into a dark and dramatic climax. With her soaring vocals, Rodrigo passionately calls out an older man she once loved. In a memorable bridge, she sings, "You said it was true love, but wouldn't that be hard? / You can't love anyone 'cause that would mean you had a heart."
The thought-provoking lyrics have sparked speculation among fans that the song may be directed toward Olivia's ex-boyfriends, Adam Faze and Zack Bia. Fans are delving deep, attempting to decipher the hidden meaning behind her poignant words.
Who is the 'Vampire' in Olivia Rodrigo's new song?
20-year-old pop star Olivia Rodrigo released her new rock opera-inspired song on June 30. This powerful track serves as the lead single for her upcoming album 'Guts' and reflects on a past relationship that left a bitter taste. In the song, Rodrigo metaphorically compares her ex-partner to a "bloodsucker" and "famef**ker," evoking feelings of brokenness and betrayal.
The song's lyrics also hint at an age gap in the relationship, as Rodrigo sings, "Went for me and not her/ 'Cause girls your age know better." Rodrigo doesn't hold back in describing the duration of this turbulent romance, calling it "six months of torture" that was deceitfully presented as a forbidden paradise. The poignant narrative in the song deeply resonated with fans who have been following Rodrigo's love life in recent years.
As fans listened to the song, they couldn't help but draw parallels between Rodrigo's lyrics and her real-life dating experiences. The track reminded them of her past involvements with older men, such as producer Adam Faze when she was 18 and later with DJ Zack Bia when she was 19. Both relationships lasted for approximately six months and garnered significant media attention. Through her emotive storytelling and raw lyrics, Rodrigo's new track strikes a chord with many individuals who have experienced similar heartbreak and manipulation in their own lives.
'ADAM FAZE LOOKED LIKE A VAMPIRE'
