Olivia Rodrigo later debunked the rumour about the song, saying that while she understood people’s curiosity about who the song is about, that shouldn’t take away from the song’s essence.
In her words:
“I totally understand people’s curiosity with the specifics of who the song’s about and what it’s about, but to me, that’s really the least important part of the song. It’s resonating with people because of how emotional it is, and I think everything else is not important,”
Talking about Sabrina Carpenter, Rodrigo claimed not to have known her, let alone sing about her.
She said:
“I actually don’t know her at all, I think we’ve met once or twice in passing, but I’ve never had a conversation with her.” I don’t think I could write a song that was meaningful or emotional about somebody that I don’t know.”
