The series was renewed for a second season in 2021. Rodrigo signed toGeffen Records,a subsidiary ofInterscope Records,intending to release her debutEPin 2021.[2]
When I came up with 'Drivers License', I was going through a heartbreak that was so confusing to me, so multifaceted. Putting all those feelings into a song made everything seem so much simpler and clearer—and at the end of the day, I think that's the whole purpose of songwriting. There’s nothing like sitting at the piano in my bedroom and writing a really sad song. It’s truly my favorite thing in the world.
She teased the song for many months in 2020,[3]including some lyrics onInstagram.[4]She posted a snippet, captioned "Wrote dis the other day. vv close to my heart. gonna call it drivers license I think lol", where she plays the song on a piano.[5]The song was announced on January 4.[6]The song was released to alldigital musicandstreamingplatforms four days later, alongside a music video onYouTube.[7]It is the lead single to her debutstudio albumSour,which Rodrigo had originally planned to be anEP.[5]"Drivers License" impacted UScontemporary hit radioon January 19.[8]

The video received positive comments from critics for its visuals.[29][3]
The music video was filmed in Provo, Utah.
Impact and legacy
editWhen we were talking about the audience that [Rodrigo] had prior to the release—that's a very young, female, engaged audience. So they really sort of sparked the flame. But now what you have is it traveling well beyond that audience. And obviouslysocial mediaplatforms have helped that, but I think justword of mouth.This is a song you're talking about with everyone right now. Everyone's listening to it, everyone's obsessing over it.
"Drivers License" has been credited with launching Rodrigo's music career.[83]The instant commercial success of the song upon its release has been attributed to the rise ofniche marketforbedroom pop,the song's emotional lyricism and appeal,TikTok,thetabloid journalismandsocial mediaspeculation surrounding the song, and Rodrigo'sDisneycareer.The Indian Expressopined that song is a part of theDIYmovement in the music industry, where young artists (mostlypost-millennials), such as Rodrigo,Billie Eilish,andTate McRae,are capable of making music of "near-studio quality" without leaving the house.[11]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".[82]
Paperremarked 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,Lordein 2013, orTaylor Swiftin 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.Paperalso 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.[84]The New York Timeswriter 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 toBritney Spears,Justin Timberlake,Christina Aguilera,Miley Cyrus,Demi Lovato,andSelena Gomez,Rodrigo took "her experiences within the Disney machine and attempted to translate them for a broader, more adult audience".[85]
Stereogum's Chris DeVille found Rodrigo to be an example of "actor-turned-pop stars" who profit off their best-known roles, such as herBizaardvarkandHigh School Musical: The Musical: The Series,which "created a massive built-in audience for a prospective Rodrigo music career"; "Drivers License" maximized this interest by referencing the "behind-the-scenes drama" involvingJoshua Bassett,who co-stars with Rodrigo inHigh School Musical: The Musical: The Series,andSabrina Carpenter.DeVille added that the song "will haveripple effects"that affect the industry in 2021 and beyond, as its bedroom pop sound is challenginghip-hop's dominance on streaming platforms.[14]Douglas Greenwood, writing forI-D,asserted that "Drivers License" contains "all of the old-school ingredients of a hit".[86]
Insiderdubbed the song an "early 2021 cultural touchstone", citing its "sad girl appeal" echoing Generation Z (similar to Lorde and Eilish), the celebrity romance associated with its lyrics (like that of Swift), the song's cinematicbridge,its TikTok popularity, and radio friendliness as contributing factors to the song's success.[87]Music journalist Laura Snapes, writing forThe Guardian,wrote "Drivers License" is the "epitome of new-school pop songwriting", in which power ballads are sonically intimate and subdued, rather than bombastic, with lyrics delving into specific and complex emotions.[88]On Rodrigo's 18th birthday, the February 20, 2021 episode ofSaturday Night Liveincluded a skit in which English actorRegé-Jean Pageand six other male cast members recited the song's lyrics.[89]Responding to the tabloid speculation around the song's subjects, Rodrigo stated: "I put it out not knowing that it would get that reaction, so it was really strange [when] it did. I just remember [everyone being] so weird and speculative about stuff they had no idea about. I don't really subscribe to hating other women because of boys. I think that's so stupid, and I really resent that narrative that was being tossed around."[89]
