Olivia Rodrigo Explains The Hidden Tracks
The existence of these hidden tracks first came to light when Rodrigo shared a retro-inspired infomercial on her YouTube page. The quirky video playfully marketed GUTS as the solution for moments when one’s gut feelings needed reassurance in matters of life and love.
As the 12-song GUTS tracklist scrolled across the screen, the video mysteriously glitched, briefly revealing the titles of the hidden songs. This clever marketing tactic added an element of surprise and intrigue for fans, further fueling their anticipation for the vinyl editions.
In an interview, Rodrigo shed some light on the process behind the hidden tracks. She mentioned that, while working on GUTS, she had recorded approximately 25 songs, leaving open the possibility of releasing some of them in the future. The careful curation of the album tracklist involved considerations like song intricacies and balance.
During the conversation, Rodrigo also expressed her love for the album’s opener, “All American Bitch.” She described it as one of her favorite songs that she had ever written. She emphasized how it showcased the essence of repressed anger and the feeling of being boxed in as a girl, a message she had been attempting to convey since the age of fifteen.
