"All of the people relating to it and finding meaning in it is amazing, because at the end of the day, I write songs because it helps me get through hard things in my life."

In January, "Drivers License" broke Spotify's record for being the most streamed in a single week, catapulting Rodrigo into instant stardom.

Upon its release, "Sour" received a positive reception; critics regarded it as a sturdy debut, highlighting Rodrigo's lyrical versatility, realism, and tremendous appeal to Gen Z.
