I believe that the end of 'hope ur ok' is actually tying back to driver's license because at the beginning of that song you can hear the ignition of a car, and I think that ending of 'hope ur ok' ties back to that ignition, and it slows down which could mean closure.

I think that the last song wasn't about the breakup because she kinda realzed that there are people who are really struggling and that she wants to write about them more

[@muskankataria]

I think it's about 2 childhood friends both struggling from abuse (mental or physical). And the guy was able to escape but the girl couldn't. And she is asking the guy is his life was okay after the escape. I think it is a story olivia made up

[@sangredelangel]

@@muskankataria I think I need to hear that song again. I thought it was one person that she just changed addressing from he to she they grew up. 😲

[@muskankataria]

@@sangredelangel could be I'll listen to it again. I also noticed that both were abused because their parents were homophobic (or simply didn't like who they chose to love)

[@lilpie257]

That’s why I love the way the album plays out. You start out with brutal which gives you the tension and hype that leads into traitor and drivers license, etc. Which are all songs about her heartbreak. As the album continues she goes from sad and upset, to just pure anger. After she lets it all out though, she starts to focus on other topics that aren’t related to heartbreak, like in jealousy, jealousy or hope ur ok. With hope ur ok as the ending it gives the album a feel that she’s truly getting over her heartbreak at that point and I thought it was genius

[@azure-yu5vq]

[@leeahadams4651]

For someone who is the same age as Olivia and going through the same kind of thing but yet a completely different situation, I really appreciate her story telling and lyric writing ability. It is so specific but yet relates to a broad audience. This album hit hard.

[@peace4111]

1 step forward, 3 steps back actually has Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff credited as writers for New Year’s Day. Olivia very purposefully used that melody!

My favourite thing about artist is a quality she has,it isn't just the voice and lyrics it's if you take the voice and lyrics, i could listen to this album instrumental and still enjoy how stunning it is. The honesty and control she has is stunning and how she literally puts her heart out on her sleeve and makes it sound effortlessly when it's so rare to have her talent. I love how professional you are, the album is about losing a first love and couldn't hit it on the nail more, and you touch subtle on how it hits you but you focus and break it down so professionally, and judge her on all the hours of dedication and work that's gone in to this which she completely deserves. I see so many other reaction videos focusing on the drama too much, you just make her shine. I'm getting musical vibes with 1 step forward and 3 steps back and enough for you, and hope your ok, this album is just a perfect story.

[@SydneyKong]

TRAITOR IS MY FAVORITE ON THE ALBUM. ALONG WITH HAPPIER. BRUTAL IS STARTING TO GROW ON ME THOUGH. 1 step forward 3 steps back is also a gooodd

[@JustinBocci]

jealously, jealously, along with brutal, traitor, and happier are my favorite tracks on the album. They’re absolutely amazing.

[@what.309]

The thing with this album is when I first heard some songs, they were pretty meh. I wanted to show support for her and kept repeating the album and they somehow grew on me and now I don’t even wanna skip a single song.

Enough for you sounded very Ed Sheeran-inspired to me, maybe even little things x one direction. And favorite crime harmonies sounded very Florence + The Machine. I love how she pulls inspiration from so many artists!!!

[@isabellaj3182]

Blake getting hit with two ballads back to back, I felt so bad haha

[@RiHikaru]

I get skipping the singles, but I think that the order of the album matters because she puts sad songs then happy then sad so they're kind of like breaks in between. Like good 4 u and deja vu were the break between the sadder songs.
