Olivia Rodrigo released good 4 u almost two weeks ago now and we would be lying if we said we hadn't played it on repeat since...

Yep, it's official, the 18 year old pop star has released yet another chart topper and, with drivers licence already under her belt, Olivia Rodrigo is undoubtedly one to watch.

good 4 u is currently number two on UK charts, number one on the Billboard hot 100 and, well, it's basically the only sound we hear on TikTok these days, too (and we're not complaining).

But, the real question is, who is good 4 u about?

Well, she never actually confirmed it but, at this point, we're fairly convinced that drivers licence was about Olivia's High School Musical: The Musical: The Series co-star Joshua Bassett. And we're not alone, either.

Indeed, fans have been vocal AF about who they think Olivia's angsty bops are about and, from the sounds of it, Joshua is very much in the running to be the villain in good 4 u...

"Currently singing good 4 u for the eleventh time as if Joshua Basset broke my heart lmfao," wrote one user on Twitter.

"good 4 u! omg Joshua Bassett needs to hide forever again," added another.

Oh dear...

Ok let's break down the lyrics and find this TEA, because it is piping hot.

In the song, Olivia sings, "good 4 u I guess you moved on really easily. You found a new girl and it only took a couple weeks."

If we go by her and Joshua's relationship timeline (though, it's never been confirmed), it's speculated that any romance the pair did have ended in 2020 after they were thought to have started dating in 2019.

Then - the plot thickens - in June 2020, 20-year-old Joshua was spotted out and about with fellow singer and actress Sabrina Carpenter.

AND, to add fuel to the fire, in Olivia's song deja vu, she refers to her former flame's new partner as "another actress" which, if we do say so ourselves, could describe Sabrina 👀.

But, of course, this is all mere speculation...

BUT, then again, Olivia also sings, "I guess that therapist I found for you, she really helped," and, in an interview with Vulture earlier this month, Joshua told the publication, "I think everyone should, if they can afford it, really consider taking therapy.

"I don’t care how well-off you think you are — even therapists do therapy. It’s such a fundamental thing that I wish I had started doing sooner."

We'll just, err, leave that there.

Earlier this month, Joshua actually came out to fans.

In an interview for Clevver News, Josh said, "What I admire about Harry Styles is that he’s a very classy man, and he’s very well-rounded. He’s just cool. ... Who doesn’t think Harry Styles is cool? Also, he’s hot, you know?"

Yes, we very much do know, Josh 😍.

He continued, "I guess this is also my coming out video."

While the actor didn't box himself within any specific sexuality label, he later posted a video of him singing on Instagram, writing, "My entire life people have told me my sexuality. People have shamed me for things they know nothing about.

"Love who you love shamelessly."

❤️❤️❤️.
