Sabrina Carpenter denies new song is Olivia Rodrigo \u2018Drivers License\u2019 diss track Instagram: Sabrina Carpenter\/ Instagram: Olivia RodrigoSabrina Carpenter has responded after she was accused of writing a \u201cdiss track\u201d about Olivia Rodrigo, the singer of viral TikTok hit Drivers License. Drivers License by Disney actress Olivia Rodrigo, broke records last week for becoming the fastest song to reach 100 million streams on Spotify. It was quite literally an overnight sensation, racking up over 9 million views within the space of just a few days. Actress Sabrina Carpenter, who also became famous on Disney, then brought out her own track called Skin on Friday, January 22, but many people viewed the lyrics as shade toward Olivia Rodrigo. Drivers License is thought to be about Olivia Rodrigo\u2019s own relationships, and therefore widely considered to be about her fellow High School Musical: The Series cast member Joshua Bassett, who has also been linked to Carpenter. Rodrigo\u2019s song features the lyrics, \u201cand you\u2019re probably with that blonde girl\/ who always made me doubt\/ she\u2019s so much older than me\/ she\u2019s everything I\u2019m insecure about.\u201d Meanwhile, Carpenter\u2019s single Skin has the lyrics: \u201cmaybe you didn\u2019t mean it\/ maybe blonde was the only rhyme\u201d and \u201cyou can try to get under my, under my, under my skin while he\u2019s on mine,\u201d After staying silent on the issue, Sabrina has now spoken out on Instagram to explain why her song is not actually a diss track on Olivia. In a caption, she wrote \u201cThank you to everyone who has listened to Skin, especially those who have opened their minds to lyrically what I was trying to get across. \u201cI wasn\u2019t bothered by a few lines in a (magnificent) song and wrote a diss track about it. I was at a tipping point in my life for countless reasons. So I was inspired to do what I usually do to cope, write something that I wish I could have told myself in the past. https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CKc5kIlAEwZ\/ \u201cPeople can only get to you if you give them the power to. and a lot of people were trying to get to me. The song isn\u2019t calling out one single person. Some lines address a specific situation, while other lines address plenty of other experiences I\u2019ve had this past year. It also shows that many things have actually gotten under my skin.. and I\u2019m still learning to not give other people so much power over my feelings. I know a lot of you struggle with the same thing.\u201d To end with, she added, \u201cI don\u2019t want this to become an endless cycle so please don\u2019t take this as an opportunity to send more hate anyone\u2019s way.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
