get him back!

"Get Him Back!" is a shuffling pop-rock anthem that's all about a love story gone awry. Olivia Rodrigo goes through a roller coaster of emotions as she's torn between reigniting the flames of passion and serving up a dish of sweet vengeance. I wanna get him back I wanna make him really jealous, wanna make him feel bad Oh, I wanna get him back 'Cause then again, I really miss him and it makes me real sad Oh, I want sweet revenge and I want him again Rodrigo plays on the double entendre of "get him back" – it's about both rekindling their love and plotting revenge.

Their romance started off with a blast, partying hard and living it up. But there were red flags, like his eccentric friends and his wandering eye. Now she's split between her love for her ex and the desire to make him pay. Keying his car? Making him lunch? Breaking his heart and then fixing it? She's got a whirlwind of emotions! Towards the end, Rodrigo is on a mission to get him back, but in a way that'll leave him utterly baffled. He's gonna love her and hate her, all at the same time!

Some fans have been connecting the dots, suggesting Rodrigo is hinting at her past romance with producer Adam Faze. The clues start with the opening lines of the first verse: I met a guy in the summer and I left him in the spring He argued with me about everything Rodrigo and Faze were first caught sharing a kiss in July 2021, aligning with the summertime reference. However, by the time the New Year rolled around in 2022, their romance seemed to have cooled off. Reports surfaced that Rodrigo had unfollowed Faze on Instagram, and they spent New Year's apart. He had an ego and a temper and a wandering eye He said he's 6'2 and I'm, like, "Dude, nice try" Faze, who is 5'9 (175 cm), may have stretched the truth to 6'2 (188 cm), which Rodrigo playfully calls him out for.
