A/N: Hey, guys! Today, I am going to be doing a review on Good 4 U by singer Olivia Rodrigo. But before we dive right into the lyrics and the review of the song, I wanted to tell you guys a little bit more about Olivia.
Her full name is Olivia Isabel Rodrigo
She is 19 years old
She was born on February 20, 2003, in Murrieta, California
Rodrigo started taking vocal lessons in kindergarten and learned to play the piano soon after.
Olivia made her very first acting debut in 2015 as Grace Thomas in the direct-to-video film An American Girl: Grace Stirs Up Success
In 2016, she landed the role of Paige Olvera, the lead guitarist, in the Disney Channel series Bizaardvark. She would go on to play that role for three seasons.
Olivia probably got her biggest break yet when she was casted as Nini Salazar-Roberts in High School Musical: The Musical: The Series in February 2019, which also premiered in November of that year.
Olivia has also written some songs for the show as well including "All I Want" and "Just for a Moment", which she co-wrote with her HSMTMTS co-star Joshua Bassett.
Her musical influences are Taylor Swift, Avril Lavigne, Lorde, Cardi B, Gwen Stefani and more.
Now that you know everything about Olivia, here are the lyrics to Good 4 U:
[Intro]
(Ah)
[Verse 1]
Well, good for you, I guess you moved on really easily
You found a new girl, and it only took a couple weeks
Remember when you said that you wanted to give me the world? (World?)
And good for you, I guess that you've been working on yourself
I guess that therapist I found for you, she really helped
Now you can be a better man for your brand-new girl (girl)
[Chorus]
Well, good for you, you look happy and healthy
Not me, if you ever cared to ask
Good for you, you're doing great out there without me, baby
God, I wish that I could do that
I've lost my mind, I've spent the night crying on the floor of my bathroom
But you're so unaffected, I really don't get it
But I guess good for you
[Verse 2]
Well, good for you, I guess you're getting everything you want (ah)
You bought a new car and your career's really taking off (ah)
It's like we never even happened
Baby, what the fuck is up with that? (Ha)
And good for you, it's like you never even met me
Remember when you swore to God I was the only person who ever got you?
Well, screw that and screw you
You will never have to hurt the way you know that I do
[Chorus]
Well, good for you, you look happy and healthy
Not me, if you ever cared to ask
Good for you, you're doing great out there without me, baby
God, I wish that I could do that
I've lost my mind, I've spent the night crying on the floor of my bathroom
But you're so unaffected, I really don't get it
But I guess good for you
[Break]
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
[Bridge]
Maybe I'm too emotional
But your apathy is like a wound in salt
Maybe I'm too emotional
Or maybe you never cared at all
Maybe I'm too emotional
Your apathy is like a wound in salt
Maybe I'm too emotional
Or maybe you never cared at all
[Chorus]
Well, good for you, you look happy and healthy
Not me, if you ever cared to ask
Good for you, you're doing great out there without me, baby
Like a damn sociopath!
I've lost my mind, I've spent the night crying on the floor of my bathroom
But you're so unaffected, I really don't get it
But I guess good for you
[Outro]
Well, good for you, I guess you moved on really easily
Good 4 U is a pop rock anthem that talks about how Olivia's ex-boyfriend was able to move on really quickly from their breakup. She sings about this in the first verse with the lyrics:
Well, good for you, I guess you moved on really easily
You found a new girl, and it only took a couple weeks
Remember when you said that you wanted to give me the world? (World?)
She also mentions how she had recommended him to some therapy singing:
And good for you, I guess that you've been working on yourself
I guess that therapist I found for you, she really helped
Now you can be a better man for your brand-new girl (girl)
The singer later expresses a mixture of sarcasm and hostility in the chorus with:
Well, good for you, you look happy and healthy
Not me, if you ever cared to ask
Good for you, you're doing great out there without me, baby
God, I wish that I could do that
I've lost my mind, I've spent the night crying on the floor of my bathroom
But you're so unaffected, I really don't get it
But I guess good for you
I love Good 4 U by Olivia. It's one of my favorite songs by her. The lyrics are so catchy and fun. The electric guitar in the break is what really helped this song give it that pop rock vibe to it.
I can't listen to this on repeat and it never gets old. This song is perfect soundtrack for the summer.
