"Olivia Rodrigo has marked the fifth anniversary of her post-Disney debut "Drivers License" by enlisting David Byrne to record a cover. Check it out below. A 7" vinyl single, out April 3, will pair the cover with Rodrigo and Byrne's version of Talking Heads ' "Burning Down the House," recorded at the 2025 Governors Ball."
"Rodrigo had teased some sort of celebration of the song-originally released in January 2021-by posting a license renewal application on her website this week. Today's release may be a throwback, but Rodrigo spent much of last year hinting that 2026 would herald her next phase. Back in October, she told that she was "having a lot of fun dreaming things up" for what may still be a follow-up."
