Olivia Rodrigo reveals her dream date scenario that inspired the “honeybee” lyrics:
“You’re out at 7pm dinner with your friends, you’re having Aperol Spritz’s, and your boyfriend comes and picks you up. You guys walk home and talk, ideally, there was some gossip that was exchanged at dinner, and you’re telling your boyfriend about the gossip and he’s like ‘What!?’”
her cleverest song. the switch from a sappy love song to a song about toxic codependency is insane. the haunting chords slowly creeping into the production. so unsettling. it’s already an underrated track yet it’s such a fundamental song for the record
