jealousy jealousy, by Olivia Rodrigo
I kinda wanna throw my phone across the room'Cause all I see are girls too good to be trueWith paper-white teeth and perfect bodiesWish I didn't care
I know their beauty's not my lackBut it feels like that weight is on my backAnd I can't let it go
Co-comparison is killing me slowlyI think, I think too much'Bout kids who don't know meI'm so sick of myselfI'd rather be, rather beAnyone, anyone elseMy jealousy, jealousyStarted following me (he-he-he, he-he)Started following me (he-he-he, he-he)
And I see everyone getting all the things I wantAnd I'm happy for them, but then again, I'm notJust cool vintage clothes and vacation photosI can't stand it, oh, God, I sound crazy
Their win is not my lossI know it's trueBut I can't help getting caught up in it all
Co-co-comparison is killing me slowlyI think, I think too much'Bout kids who don't know meI'm so sick of myselfI'd rather be, rather beAnyone, anyone elseMy jealousy, jealousy (yeah)
All your friends are so cool, you go out every nightIn your daddy's nice car, yeah, you're living the lifeGot a pretty face, a pretty boyfriend tooI wanna be you so bad, and I don't even know youAll I see is what I should beHappier, prettier, jealousy, jealousyAll I see is what I should beI'm losing it, all I get's, jealousy, jealousy
Co-comparison is killing me slowlyI think, I think too much'Bout kids who don't know meAnd I'm so sick of myselfI'd rather be, rather be (oh, oh)Anyone, anyone else (anybody else)Jealousy, jealousy
Oh, I'm so sick of myselfI'd rather be, rather be (oh-oh)Anyone, anyone elseJealousy, jealousyStarted following me
The song is about starting to compare your life to other people's lives. Especially what you see on the internet, it seems like everybody has so perfect life and then you feel pressure about your own.
"I'm so sick of myself I'd rather be, rather be anyone, anyone else" This line seems like you start to feel bad about yourself and feel like you would rather just be someone like on the internet.
"I wanna be you so bad, and I don't even know you. All I see is what I should be" This shows how easily you compare yourself to strangers online.
I think this is a very great song because you can fake a perfect life online and how easily you can fool people. And also a very current topic about feeling insecure online.
the song is very easy to understand because the words there are pretty easy.

I think you brought up the meaning of this song really well. In a way this song has made me realise more clearly how toxic social media is today. As you explained one of the lines, it's really easy to start comparing yourself to others. There should be more songs about this topic because only a very few peolpe can admit that they're jealous of people they see online.

Hi Taru. Great analysis! The song has a important message, which you told very well . I don't listen to this type of music and this was the first time when I listened to this song. I think it sucks, but this is just my opinion. Im also suprised that you're listening to this type of music.

Olivia's songs are touching and fascinating. In my openion it's important there are this kind of songs that describe the feeling when you are jealous and comparing yourself to others. I completely agree with your analysis!
