"Olivia Rodrigo sings on her comeback single, a casual admission with its own innate melody destined in turn to stalk listeners' brains all summer. Her perfect couplet heralds an ecstatic chorus about the giddy terror of getting exactly what you wanted, exactly how you wanted it, and barely being able to breathe or stifle puking: The most alive I've ever been / But kiss me and I might drop dead!"
"Rodrigo's debut single proper, Drivers License, was an epic heartbreak ballad, though the sticking points of her debut album, Sour, were the pop-punk ragers. She convincingly translated that into her second album, 2023's Guts, which drew on the influence of her mum's riot grrrl records."
"Drop Dead contains a casual flex alluding to her friendship with Smith: You know all the words to Just Like Heaven, she sings dreamily, And I know why he wrote them."
Olivia Rodrigo's single 'Drop Dead' features lyrics that reflect the experience of modern romance, including online stalking and the exhilaration of desire.
