Olivia notes Annie Ernaux’s Simple Passion as her inspiration for tracks like “stupid song” and “maggots for brains” via Vogue Philippines!
“The double-edged sword of something like limerence, where it’s obviously so static and so happy but also so nauseating and kind of miserable, I think that was honestly one of the main points that I was trying to touch on in the album. I think that’s why I love the title, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, because with something like limerence, there’s always more negative, insane side to the love that you’re feeling.”
Ok obviously Sabrina is doing too much as the antagonist but she’s not necessarily wrong… it takes effort to build new connections! Build that bridge if you wanna get to know someone more!
