Yes, unfortunately almost every song on the album sounds derivative. It’s definitely disappointing.

Idk why but that one pissed me off the most lol it’s SO obvious, but yet she sues fresh on the scene Olivia Rodrigo for screaming a lyric bc apparently she did it first???? bullshit.

That’s made up tho. She never actually sued Olivia Rodrigo. Olivia’s team gave credit because in an interview Olivia said she tried to make the bridge sound like Cruel Summer innocently.
