Olivia Rodrigojust never misses!
On Friday, the 18-year-old singer released her third single “Good 4 u' — a heartbreak track filled with an angsty pop-rock sound reminiscent of our favorites fromParamoreandAvril Lavigne— serving a stark contrast from her moodier releases “Drivers License” and “déjà vu.”

“Good 4 u” is Rodrigo’s latest single off of her debut albumSour, which drops later this month.
In aninterview withBillboardthis week, the singer shared her passion with songwriting and expressed that she doesn’t want to be categorized as the “heartbreak girl.”
“At first I was like, ‘I don’t want to do this. I don’t want to be pigeonholed,’ " said Rodrigo about her breakup songs.
“I’m a songwriter who writes from a place of authenticity and truth,” she added. “And truthfully, love and happiness and everything weren’t feelings that I was feeling at the time. And what’s the point of putting out a record if it isn’t something that you feel is important to say to people?”

“I don’t want to divulge too much because it’s really sweet and personal, but she talks a lot about how, I think, you make your own luck in the world,” Rodrigo toldBillboard. “And when you do kind things to others, good things come your way.”
According to Rodrigo, Swift, 31, knew just what advice to give for the exciting time in the artist’s life.
“I don’t know, she put it so eloquently, and when I say it now … it’s not as cool,” shesaid.
