Produced by close collaborator Dan Nigro (with Rodrigo credited on a few tracks), and written almost entirely by Rodrigo and Nigro, the 11-song collection serves as a key to the mind and soul of one of the most exciting new figures in pop music as she navigates heartbreak, coming of age, and the unstable landscape of Gen Z’s social media upbringing.

Her third single, the venomous pop-punk rager “Good 4 U,” tapped into the sweltering annoyance that bubbled under the surface of her apparent sweetness.
