What do you feel after you’ve been taken advantage of? Anger? Fury? Disappointment in yourself for failing to see the signs? All of the above and more form the swirling, ominous storm that saturates Olivia Rodrigo’s latest single, “vampire,” a fiery kiss-off to an ex, and an earth-quaking start to her forthcoming record,It’s been two years since we last heard new music from Rodrigo, and the singer has moved from the brokenheartedness of her debut albumand straight onto scorching indignation.
The song begins by laying out the land: As the fantasy of the relationship shatters, Rodrigo can finally see her ex for who he truly is, a clout chaser who collects relationships by judging how many rungs they can add to his social ladder.
Rodrigo’s songwriting never fails to factor in her own role in her misery, and that striking, vulnerable element is also present on “vampire.” On the hook, she laments how she let herself be deceived: “I should've known it was strange/ You only come out at night/ I used to think I was smart/ But you made me look so naive.”
“Bloodsucker, fame-f*cker, bleeding me dry like a goddamn vampire,” goes the thunderous central lyric of the song. In the wake of her stripped-down confessions, these words hit even harder.
