Olivia Rodrigo has credited Paramore in her "Good 4 u" song

Olivia Rodrigo is the teenage star of the moment,

Her album “Sour” has become viral since the very first singles released

As a Gen Z, Olivia herself has declared that she has taken inspiration

From various artists that were famous in the early 2000s.

After dropping one of her most successful singles “Good 4 u”

Fans quickly spotted the similarities with the characteristic sound of Paramore.

Moreover, older fans started a TikTok trend in which

They make a mashup with “Good 4 u” and “Misery Business”

Showing off the trends of the early 2010s era,

When most of the people making the mashups were teenagers.

However, Olivia Rodrigo’s legal team has not stated anything about this matter.

Ironically, Haley Williams, the leader of Paramore

Stated back in 2018 that the band wouldn’t sing the song anymore

As she “did not relate to the song written when I was a teenager”.

Still, Rodrigo retroactively added the credits to her song,

Specifically, she added Haley Williams and Josh Farro as writers.

´The credit corresponds to an interpolation:

An element of an existing song, re-recorded and added to a new song.

The credits are, as of right now, in the ASCAP Repertory database.

She added Taylor Swift and cowriters to the credits of her “Deja vu” song,

After already appearing on the credits of her song “2 steps forward and 3 steps back”

This kind of credits have become more and more common,

As the legal issues regarding intellectual property and copyright infringements

In the music industry are increasing.

Furthermore, Rodrigo almost faced a claim from Elvis Costello,

But he decided to decline, alleging that

It’s how rock & roll works. You take the broken pieces of another thrill and make a brand new toy. That’s what I did.”
