創作背景
在《
drivers license》的發行取得一定成績後,奧利維亞·羅德里戈乘勝追擊推出單曲《deja vu》。“déjà vu”在法語中是既視感的意思,即某些人們從未見過場景卻有似曾相似的感覺。而奧利維亞把既視感放進愛情關係中,寫下“你現在對她說的那些情話、聊的話題全部都是我帶給你的,你難道不會想到我。”而在bridge段奧利維亞則想致敬泰勒·斯威夫特的歌曲《
Cruel Summer》中歇斯底里的吶喊。
歌曲歌詞
Car rides to Malibu
Strawberry ice cream one spoon for two
And trading jackets
Laughing 'bout how small it looks on you
Ah-ha-ha-ha
Watching reruns of Glee
Bein' annoying singing in harmony
I bet she's braggin' to all her friends
Saying you're so unique
Huh
So when you gonna tell her
That we did that too
She thinks it's special
But it's all re-used
That was our place I found it first
I made the jokes you tell to her
When she's with you
Do you get deja vu when she's with you
Do you get deja vu hmm
Ha
Do you get deja vu huh
Do you call her almost say my name
'Cause let's be honest we kinda do sound the same
Another actress I hate to think that I was just your type
And I bet that she knows Billy Joel
'Cause you played her "Uptown Girl"
You're singing it together
Now I bet you even tell her how you love her
In between the chorus and the verse
So when you gonna tell her
That we did that too
She thinks it's special
But it's all re-used
That was the show we talked about
Played you the songs she's singing now
When she's with you
Do you get deja vu when she's with you
Do you get deja vu
Huh
Do you get deja vu
Strawberry ice cream in Malibu
Don't act like we didn't do that s**t too
You're trading jackets like we used to do
Yeah everything is all re-used
Play her piano but she doesn't know
That I was the one who taught you Billy Joel
A different girl now but there's nothing new
I know you get deja vu
I know you get deja vu
I know you get deja vu

Z世代少女的失戀歌曲。
