  Rodrigo expressed that this new album is centered around the concept of growing pains and the journey of self-discovery during this phase of her life. More so, she described the period between the ages of 18 and 20 as intense, filled with awkwardness and change – resulting in personal growth. Rodrigo hopes that the album will authentically reflect this transformative experience.

  Speculation regarding Rodrigo’s return began when she updated the expiry date on the card image of her “drivers license” covers to June 30, 2023. Additionally, during her birthday, she teased her fans with a new beat in a video posted online, hinting at the abundance of new music she has been working on.

  The album’s first track and the “good 4 u” singer’s comeback song, “vampire,” is scheduled to be released on June 30 (Friday), building anticipation among her fans.
