American singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo has recorded songs for two studio albums. She became interested in music from a young age, taking vocal lessons in kindergarten[1] and singing classes at age six.[2] In 2016, Rodrigo and Madison Hu, who co-starred in the television series Bizaardvark, recorded four original songs for its soundtrack EP.[3][4] Three years later, she starred in High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.[5] She contributed several songs to its soundtracks, including the solo-written "All I Want" (2019), "The Rose Song" (2021), and a cover of Joni Mitchell's "River".[6][7][8]

In early 2020, Rodrigo began meeting with record labels and subsequently signed with Geffen Records and Interscope Records, intending to release her debut EP in 2021.[9] She wrote material with American producer Dan Nigro, including the song "Drivers License",[10][11] which was released as her debut single in January 2021 and experienced commercial success.[12] Nigro produced all eleven tracks on Rodrigo's debut studio album, Sour (2021), a pop,[13] pop-punk,[14] alternative-pop,[15][16] and bedroom-pop album.[17] They continued working together on her second studio album, Guts (2023),[18] which features twelve tracks.[19] It was preceded by the pop-rock single "Vampire" (2023).[20] The album was conceived when Rodrigo was 19 years old, a year she described as "lots of confusion, mistakes, awkwardness & good old fashioned teen angst".[21] In November, Rodrigo released the song "Can't Catch Me Now" (2023) for The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes.[22]
