## Background[edit]

Olivia Rodrigo began meeting with record labels in early 2020, and subsequently signed with Geffen Records and Interscope Records, intending to release her debut extended play in 2021.[1] American songwriter and producer Dan Nigro encountered a video of her performing her then-unreleased song "Happier" and was impressed by her vocals, stating, "her voice is insane". He contacted Rodrigo suggesting they make music together.[2] Their plans were initially delayed due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the two began working on music at Nigro's home studio a few months later. Rodrigo and Nigro co-wrote the song "Drivers License" in July 2020,[2][3] which she released as her debut single in January 2021, to unprecedented commercial success. Billboard declared it one of the "most dominant" hits in Hot 100 history.[4]

Rodrigo announced her debut studio album Sour on April 1, 2021.[5] "Jealousy, Jealousy" placed ninth on the track listing.[6]

## Composition[edit]

"Jealousy, Jealousy", has been described as "jazzy",[7] "serpentine" and an "alt-rock squall à la the Kills" with a "plucky bassline and a prowling piano build".[8][9] Its lyrics talk about the toxicity of social media and its addictiveness, displaying the obsessions of living a perfect life.[10] The song has a tempo of 138 beats per minute and its chord progression is Am/C/C6/G/D/C.[11]

## Critical reception[edit]

Rob Sheffield of The Rolling Stone, describes the song as "Olivia [singing] about the kind of compare-and-despair self loathing that too much phone addiction brings on".[12] The song had been covered by actress Brie Larson as a tribute to Rodrigo, after "thanking her for her "words"".[13]
