Deja Vu

在《drivers license》的發行取得一定成績後，奧利維亞·羅德里戈乘勝追擊推出單曲《deja vu》。“déjà vu”在法語中是既視感的意思，即某些人們從未見過場景卻有似曾相似的感覺。而奧利維亞把既視感放進愛情關係中，寫下“你現在對她説的那些情話、聊的話題全部都是我帶給你的，你難道不會想到我 ^[5]  。”而在bridge段奧利維亞則想致敬泰勒·斯威夫特的歌曲《Cruel Summer》中歇斯底里的吶喊 ^[7]  。

Car rides to Malibu

Strawberry ice cream one spoon for two

And trading jackets

Laughing 'bout how small it looks on you

Ah-ha-ha-ha

Watching reruns of Glee

Bein' annoying singing in harmony

I bet she's braggin' to all her friends

Saying you're so unique

Huh

So when you gonna tell her

That we did that too

She thinks it's special

But it's all re-used

That was our place I found it first

I made the jokes you tell to her

When she's with you

Do you get deja vu when she's with you

Do you get deja vu hmm

Ha

Do you get deja vu huh

Do you call her almost say my name

'Cause let's be honest we kinda do sound the same

Another actress I hate to think that I was just your type

And I bet that she knows Billy Joel

'Cause you played her "Uptown Girl"

You're singing it together

Now I bet you even tell her how you love her

In between the chorus and the verse

So when you gonna tell her

That we did that too

She thinks it's special

But it's all re-used

That was the show we talked about

Played you the songs she's singing now

When she's with you

Do you get deja vu when she's with you

Do you get deja vu

Huh

Do you get deja vu

Strawberry ice cream in Malibu

Don't act like we didn't do that s**t too

You're trading jackets like we used to do

Yeah everything is all re-used

Play her piano but she doesn't know

That I was the one who taught you Billy Joel

A different girl now but there's nothing new

I know you get deja vu

I know you get deja vu

I know you get deja vu ^[1] 

《deja vu》以迷幻炫目的Psychedelic Pop風格，以及獨特出眾的另類流行風格交織而成，千迴百轉的旋律構架 ^[6]  ，精準細膩的歌詞描繪，情感意象的捕捉 ^[7]  ，讓聽眾見證了奧利維亞·羅德里戈的創作力 ^[6]  。《deja vu》中青春失戀的種種情緒在一句句質問與嘲笑中推進，最後爆發出最真誠的怒火與心碎。不需要所有人共情，《deja vu》是奧利維亞所代表的Z世代少女的失戀歌曲 ^[7]  。

該曲MV由Allie Avital執導，於2021年4月2日在視頻平台YouTube上線，MV中奧利維亞·羅德里戈在海岸線旁驅車駕駛，重新審視了愛情。奧利維亞的目光落在了其前男友的新女友（塔莉婭·萊德飾）身上，奧利維亞在電視屏幕前窺視着她，模仿她的服裝和髮型 ^[8]  。
