SOUR, the much-anticipated debut album from teenage pop princess Olivia Rodrigo is finally here.

She captivated us with her very first single “drivers license,” and we haven’t been able to get enough since. The Disney Channel actress-turned-overnight pop sensation has captivated the world with her raw and honest songwriting, and her debut album solidified her spot as music’s top newcomer.

We’ve been listening to SOUR non-stop since its release on May 21; we’ve put together a list of our favorite songs. Here are five of the best tracks from Olivia Rodrigo’s SOUR, ranked.

 

#5: HAPPIER

At number 5 on our list is “happier.” Yes, almost every song on SOUR is a breakup track, but each one has a unique flavor. This one is the perfect mix of well-wishes for an ex-lover with just the right hint of bitterness.

 

#4: GOOD 4 U

Next up is Rodrigo’s third single from SOUR. “Good 4 u” is a modern pop-punk anthem made for screaming at the top of your lungs with your besties. And have you seen the music video? It’s one for the ages.

 

#3: TRAITOR

In “traitor,” Rodrigo makes poetry out of a situation many of us can relate to. No, they didn’t TECHNICALLY cheat. But what they did wasn’t right. This emotional track is gut-wrenchingly perfect.

 

#2: BRUTAL

At number two is another pop-punk moment. “Brutal,” the album’s lead track, is all teen angst, and we couldn’t love it more. “I’m so sick of 17 / where’s my fucking teenage dream?” is a top-tier lyric. Give the whole track a listen for even more edgy songwriting gold.

 

#1: DRIVERS LICENSE

We put the song that started it all at the top of our list. “Drivers license” captures all the emotion of teen heartbreak. The feeling like you’ll never love again. The inability to forget. And, of course, getting to drive on your own for the first time. Rodrigo’s got potential. We knew it from the moment this song dropped.
