"Drivers License" is Olivia Rodrigo's debut single. The song premiered on January 8, 2021, accompanied by a music video.
The first snippet of this song was shared by Olivia Rodrigo on Instagram on July 23, 2020. She signed it with the words “I wrote it the other day. Close to my heart. I'll call it a driver's license, I guess lol. "
Speaking live to her fans on YouTube, Olivia Rodrigo explained, “When I came up with Driver's License, I had a grief that was so confusing, so multifaceted. All these feelings were combined into a song, and it felt so much simpler and more understandable - and at the end of the day, I think that is the whole purpose of writing songs. There is nothing better than sitting at the piano in your bedroom and writing a very sad song. This is truly my favorite activity in the world. "
Upon release, the song reached # 1 on the worldwide Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music charts. It debuted at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and made Olivia Rodrigo the most recently born artist to hit the number one single in the United States and the first 21st century born artist to debut at number one.

I got my driver's license last week
Just like we always talked about
'Cause you were so excited for me
To finally drive up to your house
But today I drove through the suburbs
Crying 'cause you weren't around
And you're probably with that blonde girl
Who always made me doubt
She's so much older than me
She's everything I'm insecure about
Yeah, today I drove through the suburbs
'Cause how could I ever love someone else?
And I know we weren't perfect but I've never felt this way for no one
And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay now that I'm gone
Guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
'Cause you said forever now I drive alone past your street
And all my friends are tired
Of hearing how much I miss you but
I kinda feel sorry for them
'Cause they'll never know you the way that I do
Yeah, today I drove through the suburbs
And pictured I was driving home to you
And I know we weren't perfect but I've never felt this way for no one
Oh, and I just can't imagine how you could be so okay now that I'm gone
I guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
'Cause you said forever now I drive alone past your street
Red lights
Stop signs
I still see your face
In the white cars
Front yards
Can't drive past the places
We used to
Go to
'Cause I still fucking love you, babe
Sidewalks
We crossed
I still hear your voice
In the traffic
We're laughing
Over all the noise
God, I'm so blue
Know we're through
But I still fucking love you, babe
I know we weren't perfect but I've never felt this way for no one
And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay now that I'm gone
Guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
'Cause you said forever now I drive alone past your street
Yeah, you said forever now I drive alone past your street
The song is written by:Daniel Nigro, Olivia Rodrigo
