its.. cute
idk what it is but i find the first half a bit clunky and then it picks up in the second half of the song

vampire >>>>>>

I don't like her voice on this, it's really grating in the chorus

it's nice I like it but I feel like it'll grow a lot on me after more listens.

As an album opener AAB & Brutal are much better

I do not know Olivia Rodrigo at all nor her discography and listened to this by curiosity but it 100% sounds like a taylor swift song is all of her music like that ?

Girl, you won't be able to name a single Taylor song that sounds like this

I definitely heard Taylor in there and I wasn't even looking for it

Overall I don't think I'm the target audience for this so I'll just leave it at that

This song is refreshing and feels right for spring. It's a grower which is a good thing nowadays when things get old very quickly usually. It sounds nothing like Taylor, but Taylor should move her productions to be more full like this. It doesn't sound like a generic radio track, but it's still catchy. Just enjoy it.

To me this one is ok but I keep thinking that I'm listening to Sabrina Carpenter...

I definitely heard Raye in there and I wasn't even looking for it

Overall I don't think I'm the target audience for this so I'll just leave it at that

I definitely heard Jojo Siwa in there and I wasn't even looking for it

sure

this is so good! I'm gagged.

Finally a singer song writer releasing good music.

So... she released a Midnights reject?

I also love The Cure influence.

and the music video is beautiful

Is this thre first time a music video was shot there???

obsessed, what a welcoming introduction.

the last minute is what the nirvana sounds like.

This is just okay. Don't think it should be a lead single.

I listened to the song once the first 20-30 seconds it sounds like it's gonna be a bit basic, but then it actually surprised me had some really interesting elements. It sounds nothing like Taylor or Gracie to me and I say this as a Gaga stan who can admit that How Bad indeed gives Taylor vibez.

Saying that drop dead sounds like Taylor is wild.. I mean it's not like super different, but it's definitely not the usual Taylor sound which by the way she didn't even invent. Some fans are doing too much I think.

the way it's so obvious that Olivia was inspired by The Cure/Robert Smith, which she explicitly mentions in the song, yet everyone here is yapping about Taylor, Chappell, and Gracie

Please listen to other artists, I beg y'all

!!! Actually, I get more of the influence of Siouxsie and the Banshees — a band that carved out the blueprint for The Cure — on Drop Dead. Especially with the first ten seconds reminding me of this song:

lately I've had a problem with artists releasing songs that are amazing album openers but not ideal single choices (to me) and this is another example of that... I like the song but rather than instantly replaying it, it makes me want to hear the next one, especially since clearly the album tells a story... now the two month long wait is gonna be even worse, I need the album NOW

This is going to be huge.

actually my hot take is that it sounds like the cure and kesha (complimentary)

The random Taylor comparisons as if this sounds anything like a Taylor song It definitely is a daughter of Good Luck, Babe! and The Subway mixed with Olivia's style and a new production.

I just watched the video and it was really cute, I loved the part where she's in bed with her laptop and the lights go off with the production and she drops dead, it was really cool. I also liked the way they filmed this.

Definitely getting Chappell vibes. Not what I was expecting! But it's a cute enough song and has replay value. I will say lyrically it's not as impressive as her other work.

Ok on my third listen and I think I love it now.

This song has the vibes of when indie songwriters go into more pop sounds maybe that why people are hearing so many other artists.
