 I'm sorry, but who grew up with her? I'm 18 and I'd never heard of her until a few days ago.

Tell ha 

[Bigno]

Didn't this happen a few years ago when Fight Song by, I truly can't recall her name, was also everywhere? This reminds me of that.

I find it funny how Jordan keeps writing about how surprised he is about her success, but if you were born some years after him, we grew up with her on Disney channel. Also the High School Musical show is huge. She has had the platform to be a star but waited until she was almost 18.

I'm under 15 and I've also never heard of her.

Maybe it's just me but I've never heard of this girl or this "hit song" in my life.

Exactly even I am a Gen Z but never grew up with this girl whom I just came to know about a few weeks ago

Rachel Platten is an Angel and deserved more success  she’s on my top 10 most streamed artists ever  Olive Rodrick would be bubbling under if Taylor didn’t endorse her cult 

[blackguillemot]

Can Taylor hype up someone more fun to top the charts? Thanks. The song is still a huge yawnfest

The song has grown on me since I first listened to it. It is still quite surprising to me how well it’s done.

And now she’s breaking single day Spotify records too?  Taylor just keeps adding more nails to her coffin  I want to go back to 2019 when she wasn’t so insufferable

And Taylor is nowhere to find in those charts. This Olivia song is even on top in my country's chart, I doubt it is so good that is twice as much plays vs song on second place.

These are weird times for sure... Before, whoever got to number 1 had really impacted pop culture; now, it's all about numbers and social media and algorithms.

My point is..... I DON'T KNOW HER. And I'm a pop music fan, and this song/video is A WEEK OLD, and it's not even that special, so everything is very weird to say the least.

This screams payola to me.

And someone please mention the Julia Michaels similarities in her vocals at the beginning because I hate it when people celebrate something that another artist has already offered before.

[sutramaya]

Mellow ballad with typical mellow voice again. Nothing new. All I Want is much better

The song documents Rodrigo getting her driver’s licence, a moment that she intended to celebrate with a boyfriend who has now moved on to another girl.

 

Can't relate 

Cry Me a River can 

[Greg_del]

She’ll be forgotten by 2022

[Lloyd88]

Basic song with basic vocals. 

[Alexanda]

Who? 

[Blackout2006]

Can yall stop being mean? you all are the reason why exhale will take decades to reach over a 100k accounts

"Drivers License" has broken Spotify's record for song with most streams in a single week (65,873,080 streams).

On Jan 11, the song also set the record for most streams for a non-holiday song in a single day, and then broke that record again the next day.

I’m not sure. The way Billboard updates their charts is always so confusing to me
