“When I came up with ‘drivers license’, I was going through a heartbreak that was so confusing to me, so multifaceted,” Rodrigo said of her new track in a statement, according to Just Jared.

“Putting all those feelings into a song made everything seem so much simpler and clearer—and at the end of the day, I think that’s really the whole purpose of songwriting.

“There’s nothing like sitting at the piano in my bedroom and writing a really sad song. It’s truly my favourite thing in the world.”
