Bad Quote by Olivia Rodrigo
“One of my favorite lyrics that I've ever written is on the last track on 'SOUR' called 'Hope Ur Ok.' It's: 'I hope he took his bad deal and made a royal flush.' I really like that lyric, it's one of my faves. I think that song is really beautiful, too, as the last track on the album.”
