Sour
Nobody tells you heartbreak comes with jealousy and spite too. Sour said the quiet part out loud, and it's not ugly. It's human.
Who it's for
Rodrigo has said she wanted the album to explore emotions that are hard to talk about or seen as socially unacceptable, especially for girls: anger, jealousy, spite and sadness.
Feelings it meets
