It was released on January 8, 2021 by [[Universal Music Group|Universal]] and [[Geffen Records]], as the [[lead single]] from her upcoming debut studio album, ''[[*O*R]]''. Rodrigo and [[Dan Nigro]] wrote the song, with production from the latter. Containing poignant lyrics detailing heartache, "Drivers License" is an atmospheric [[power ballad]] built around [[bedroom pop]], [[power pop]] and [[indie pop]]. It is characterized by a [[Minimal music|minimalist]] production incorporating [[Bass drum|kick drums]], harmonies, [[Syncopation|syncopated]] hand-claps, and a dreamy [[Bridge (music)|bridge]]. The song documents the "multifaceted" emotions Rodrigo endured after a heartbreak. She teased the song on her social media for many months in 2020, before announcing it on January 4, 2021. The official music video was posted to [[YouTube]] alongside the song's release, in which Rodrigo drives around a suburban area after receiving her [[driver's license]], and reminisces over her memories of the song's subject who encouraged her to receive the license. "Drivers License" was met with critical acclaim; praise centered on Rodrigo's cathartic songwriting, emotional vocals, and the song's stirring production, with many underscoring its [[Taylor Swift]] and [[Lorde]] influences. "Drivers License" broke a string of records, including the [[Spotify]] record for the most single-day streams for a non-[[Christmas music|holiday song]] (achieved on its fourth day of release), the biggest first-week for a song on Spotify and [[Amazon Music]]. The song topped the US [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] as one of the most dominant number-one hits in history, and made Rodrigo the youngest artist ever to debut atop the chart. It was certified [[Music recording certification|double platinum]] by the [[Recording Industry Association of America]]. Elsewhere, "Drivers License" reached number one in many countries, including Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Israel, Malaysia, Portugal, and Singapore, as well as spending multiple weeks atop the charts in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. It also peaked within the top ten in Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and various others. == Background and release == Rodrigo stars in the 2019 [[Disney+]] mockumentary series, ''[[High School Musical: The Musical: The Series]]''. She contributed a self-written song called "[[All I Want (Olivia Rodrigo song)|All I Want]]" to the soundtrack, which was [[RIAA certification|certified]] Gold by the [[Recording Industry Association of America]] (RIAA), for earning over 500,000 units in the United States. The series was renewed for a second season in 2021. Rodrigo signed to [[Geffen Records]], a subsidiary of [[Interscope Records]], intending to release her debut [[extended play|EP]] in 2021.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web|date=January 9, 2021|title=Olivia Rodrigo: 19 facts about the Drivers License singer you need to know|url=https://www.popbuzz.com/tv-film/features/Olivia-Rodrigo/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210111060402/https://www.popbuzz.com/tv-film/features/olivia-rodrigo/|archive-date=January 11, 2021|access-date=January 10, 2021|website=[[PopBuzz]]|language=en}}</ref> {{Quote|text=When I came up with 'Drivers License', I was going through a heartbreak that was so confusing to me, so multifaceted.

''[[The Indian Express]]'' opined that song is a part of the [[Do it yourself|DIY]] movement in the music industry, where young artists (mostly [[Generation Z]]), such as Rodrigo, [[Billie Eilish]], and [[Tate McRae]], are capable of making music of "near-studio quality" without leaving the house.<ref name=":5" /> Commenting on the song's unprecedented success, Spotify's Becky Bass stated that "We've never seen anything like this, where you do have a newer artist that just comes out of the gate in such a dominant way, and just continues to grow".<ref name="Spotify statement">{{Cite web|last=Untenberger|first=Andrew|date=January 14, 2021|title='We've Never Seen Anything Like This': Spotify Reacts to Olivia Rodrigo's Record-Breaking 'Drivers License'|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/9511182/olivia-rodrigo-spotify-hit-success/|access-date=2021-01-14|website=Billboard|language=en|archive-date=January 14, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210114194123/https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/9511182/olivia-rodrigo-spotify-hit-success|url-status=live}}</ref> ''[[Paper (magazine)|Paper]]'' remarked that the song is a "product of years of pop trends" that resonates with millions of listeners, similar to the rise of Eilish in 2019, [[Lorde]] in 2013, or [[Taylor Swift]] in the late 2000s, but occurred instantly in Rodrigo's case, because of recent technological innovations like TikTok that has altered the course of the music industry. The TikTok hashtag "#driverslicense" amassed over 888.5 million views in one week. ''Paper'' also highlighted consumers' interest in the song's romantic background (a phenomenon of listeners being invested in the drama between Disney co-stars) as a factor for the song's success.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Paul|first=Larisha|date=2021-01-14|title=Don't Be Surprised by the Success of 'Drivers License'|url=https://www.papermag.com/drivers-license-explainer-olivia-rodrigo-2649943926.html|access-date=2021-01-20|website=[[Paper (magazine)|Paper]]|language=en|archive-date=January 15, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210115153203/https://www.papermag.com/drivers-license-explainer-olivia-rodrigo-2649943926.html|url-status=live}}</ref> ''[[The New York Times]]'' writer Joe Coscarelli wrote that the song was spurred not only by its quality, but also the gossips surrounding it, paired with the label's marketing plan, and support from celebrities like Swift. He noted the autobiographical song bolstered tabloids and listeners to "piece together its real-life parallels", while TikTok videos led to social media posts, "which led to streams, which led to news articles, and back around again", generating an "unbeatable" feedback loop. Coscarelli added that, similar to [[Britney Spears]], [[Justin Timberlake]], [[Christina Aguilera]], [[Miley Cyrus]], [[Demi Lovato]], and [[Selena Gomez]], Rodrigo took "her experiences within the Disney machine and attempted to translate them for a broader, more adult audience".<ref>{{Cite news|last=Coscarelli|first=Joe|date=2021-01-19|title=Olivia Rodrigo's 'Drivers License' Hit No. 1 in a Week.

It was released on January 8, 2021 by [[Universal Music Group|Universal]] and [[Geffen Records]], as the [[lead single]] from her upcoming debut studio album, ''[[*O*R]]''. Rodrigo and [[Dan Nigro]] wrote the song, with production from the latter. Containing poignant lyrics detailing heartache, "Drivers License" is an atmospheric [[power ballad]] built around [[bedroom pop]], [[power pop]] and [[indie pop]]. It is characterized by a [[Minimal music|minimalist]] production incorporating [[Bass drum|kick drums]], harmonies, [[Syncopation|syncopated]] hand-claps, and a dreamy [[Bridge (music)|bridge]]. The song documents the "multifaceted" emotions Rodrigo endured after a heartbreak. She teased the song on her social media for many months in 2020, before announcing it on January 4, 2021. The official music video was posted to [[YouTube]] alongside the song's release, in which Rodrigo drives around a suburban area after receiving her [[driver's license]], and reminisces over her memories of the song's subject who encouraged her to receive the license. "Drivers License" was met with critical acclaim; praise centered on Rodrigo's cathartic songwriting, emotional vocals, and the song's stirring production, with many underscoring its [[Taylor Swift]] and [[Lorde]] influences. "Drivers License" broke a string of records, including the [[Spotify]] record for the most single-day streams for a non-[[Christmas music|holiday song]] (achieved on its fourth day of release), the biggest first-week for a song on Spotify and [[Amazon Music]]. The song topped the US [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] as one of the most dominant number-one hits in history, and made Rodrigo the youngest artist ever to debut atop the chart. It was certified [[Music recording certification|double platinum]] by the [[Recording Industry Association of America]]. Elsewhere, "Drivers License" reached number one in many countries, including Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Israel, Malaysia, Portugal, and Singapore, as well as spending multiple weeks atop the charts in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. It also peaked within the top ten in Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and various others. == Background and release == Rodrigo stars in the 2019 [[Disney+]] mockumentary series, ''[[High School Musical: The Musical: The Series]]''. She contributed a self-written song called "[[All I Want (Olivia Rodrigo song)|All I Want]]" to the soundtrack, which was [[RIAA certification|certified]] Gold by the [[Recording Industry Association of America]] (RIAA), for earning over 500,000 units in the United States. The series was renewed for a second season in 2021. Rodrigo signed to [[Geffen Records]], a subsidiary of [[Interscope Records]], intending to release her debut [[extended play|EP]] in 2021.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web|date=January 9, 2021|title=Olivia Rodrigo: 19 facts about the Drivers License singer you need to know|url=https://www.popbuzz.com/tv-film/features/Olivia-Rodrigo/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210111060402/https://www.popbuzz.com/tv-film/features/olivia-rodrigo/|archive-date=January 11, 2021|access-date=January 10, 2021|website=[[PopBuzz]]|language=en}}</ref> {{Quote|text=When I came up with 'Drivers License', I was going through a heartbreak that was so confusing to me, so multifaceted.
