“Sour” spent five weeks as Billboard’s No. 1 album and her song, “Drivers License,” was Spotify’s most-streamed song of 2021.
The hit song was originally written in her bedroom and blew up on TikTok during the pandemic. Rodrigo's lyrics resonated with many as they reflected heartbreak, relationships and navigating life as a teen.
"I have always been the most emotional kid. I'm a pisces and they're very emotional," she told "Good Morning America."
As for openly sharing her experiences about high school break-ups in songs, Rodrigo calls it "empowering."

"And it felt like such this cathartic moment where I felt like it was just something that kind of helped me get over something hard in my life."
Since the release of her album, Rodrigo has faced criticism about her music from people discrediting and denying her creativity.
"I think sometimes when you're especially a young woman in the industry, I think people are so quick to compare you to people or be like, 'Oh, she's the next this,' or 'She's this mixed with this,' and I just kind of wanna be me and do my own thing."
