"Deja Vu" is a song by American singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo
(pictured) from her debut studio album, Sour (2021). Rodrigo wrote the
song with its producer, Dan Nigro. Geffen and Interscope Records
released it as the album's second single on April 1, 2021.
Incorporating various pop sub-genres, "Deja Vu" is about heartbreak and
explores Rodrigo's anguish about her ex-partner repeating things they
did in his new relationship. It received critical acclaim; many
considered it a strong follow-up to "Drivers License" (2021). "Deja
Vu"
debuted at number eight in the US and made Rodrigo the first artist to
debut their first two singles in the top ten, peaking at number three.
The song reached the top ten in various countries, including Australia,
New Zealand, Canada, and the UK. Allie Avital directed the music video,
which depicts Rodrigo observing her ex mimic their relationship with his
new love interest. Rodrigo performed the song on shows and included it
on the set list for her 2022 Sour Tour.

Wikiquote quote of the day:
I think in this particular time, this particular moment in
American history, when we're taking on somebody — the former
President, who in fact does not believe in democracy — he is an
authoritarian, and a very, very dangerous person — I think at this
moment there has to be a unification of progressive people in general
all over this country — people who are prepared to make sure that
women control their own body, that we deal with climate change, that we
represent the needs of the working class of this country, and take on
the billionaire classes.
