To recap Olivia Rodrigo’s rapid ascent:

Her debut single, “Drivers License,” landed in January 2021. The track’s success made her the youngest artist to debut atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart, where it stayed for eight weeks.

“Good 4 U” also hit No. 1 in multiple countries, another smash-hit success from Sour — which became the first debut album in history to generate two No. 1 debuts on the Billboard Hot 100.

“Brutal,” meanwhile, is the track that generated some plagiarism claims levied at Rodrigo and her songwriting team, which includes producer/co-writer Dan Nigro, formerly of the Long Island indie band As Tall As Lions.

Some said the main riff is a bit too reminiscent of Elvis Costello’s “Pump It Up,” but the legendary songwriter/singer quickly refuted such claims with a thumbs-up:

This is fine by me, Billy.
It’s how rock and roll works. You take the broken pieces of another thrill and make a brand new toy. That’s what I did. #subterreaneanhomesickblues #toomuchmonkeybusiness
