[REVIEW] GOOD 4 U by Olivia Rodrigo is that song about moving on even when you don't want to


The heart is a funny thing, right? Olivia Rodrigo's GOOD 4 U shows that not everyone moves on or heals as quickly as others. It's hard when the person who said they wanted to give you the world is not with someone else. They have moved on, but you are still thinking about what was---and what will now never be.

GOOD 4 U is that tongue and cheek song about someone who is able to do well personally and professionally while you are still trying to pick up the pieces and move forward. You don't really want the other person to hurt. You just wish you didn't have to go through what you're feeling alone. 

Then comes the second-guessing: 'Maybe I'm too emotional,' she says, but to him she says, 'Your apathy is like a wound in salt.' The follow-up is the heart-breaking: 'Maybe you never cared at all...' That is a revelation no one wants to come to, but it could be the case.

Relatable and fun, GOOD 4 U is that song about moving on eve when you don't want to.
