It’s quite possibly my favorite bass kickoff to a song since Selena Gomez’s 2017 hit “ Bad Liar”-and unlike Gomez, Nigro and Rodrigo aren’t sampling their bassline from Talking Heads. It opens with an uncluttered five-note bassline, played by Rodrigo’s producer-cowriter Dan Nigro, that’s a hook all by itself. ![]() “The punky presence and crunchy guitars were maybe a little less convincing than ‘Driver’s License,’” wrote a reporter for Australian music station Triple J. I wasn’t alone reviews for “Good 4 U” were positive but slightly less effusive. The night Rodrigo played SNL, “Good” came off as loads of fun but felt like a bit of a reach-a newcomer trying on a different outfit to show breadth. Given how different “Deja” was from “License,” it was impressive it did even that well. While “Deja Vu” did very well for a coattails hit, it didn’t duplicate the chart performance of its predecessor and fell out of the winners’ circle even before “License” did. Just six weeks after that, the hypercaffeinated “Good 4 U” crash-lands at No. 1. Three months after her torch ballad “Drivers License” debuted at No. 1 (and spent eight straight weeks on top, the longest run of any single so far this year), it was followed by the ethereal, midtempo art-pop of “ Deja Vu,” which debuted at No. 8-making Rodrigo the first new artist in Hot 100 history to send her first two singles straight onto the Top 10. ![]() By contrast, Rodrigo is now only three singles deep into her music career, all three tracks placed high on the charts, and none sounds like the others.
