La dulce venganza de Olivia Rodrigo hacia su ex en 'Get him back': mira el vídeo y la letra
La solista estadounidense se multiplica para dejar las cosas claras
Nadie está exento de meterse en una relación tóxica sin ni siquiera darse cuenta. Esas parejas con las que no podemos vivir y sin las que no podemos vivir. Eso es más o menos de lo que trata Get him back, la nueva canción de la que Olivia Rodrigo acaba de presentar un potente videoclip poco antes de anunciar su gira mundial y sus conciertos en España.
Porque la solista estadounidense se multiplica para dejar las cosas claras a ese ex que conoció en el verano y que no le duró ni un año ya que terminó con él en la primavera. Una tortuosa relación de discusiones, menosprecios, reproches, malas sensaciones... y que ha desembocado en una excepcional canción.
Y el videoclip está a la altura. Vuelan los cuchillos, los platos rotos, estallan los cristales de los coches rallados como venganza... No le falta ni un solo detalle a una propuesta audiovisual que supone una alianza de la cantante con los nuevos dispositivos iPhone 15 de Apple con los que se ha rodado.
Y después de escucharla una vez no podrás resistirte a escucharla en una segunda ocasión y como muchxs otros amantes de la música te parecerá que tiene ciertas similitudes con otra de esas canciones de ex y venganza que publicó hace unos años una de las referencias de Olivia Rodrigo: Taylor Swift. Y ya sabes de qué canción estamos hablando sin necesidad de mencionarlo.
Lo que está claro es que la estadounidense ha dado forma a otro extraordinario álbum de estudio con Guts recogiendo el testigo del éxito que logró con Sour. Esta es la letra de Get him back:
i met a guy in the summer and i left him in the spring
he argued with me about everything
he had an ego and a temper and a wandering eye
he said he’s six foot two and i’m like, dude, nice try
but he was so much fun and he had such weird friends
and he would take us out to parties and the night would never end
another song, another club, another bar, another dance
and when he said something wrong he’d just fly me to france
so i miss him some nights when i’m feeling depressed
till i remember every time he made a pass on my friend
do i love him, do i hate him i guess it’s up and down
if i had to choose, i would say right now
i wanna get him back
i wanna make him really jealous wanna make him feel bad
oh i wanna get him back
cuz then again i really miss him and it makes me real sad
oh i want sweet revenge
and i want him again
i want to get him back back back
so i write him all these letters and I throw them in the trash
cuz i miss the way he kisses and the way he made me laugh
yeah i pour my little heart out but as i’m hitting send
i picture all the faces of my disappointed friends
because everyone knew all of the shit that he’d do
he said i was the only girl but that just wasn’t the truth
and when i told him how he hurt me he’d tell me i was tripping
but i am my father’s daughter so maybe i could fix him!
i wanna get him back
i wanna make him really jealous wanna make him feel bad
oh i wanna get him back
cuz then again i really miss him and it makes me real sad
oh i want sweet revenge
and i want him again
i want to get him back and then!
i want to get him back back back
i wanna key his car (i want to get him back)
i wanna make him lunch (but then i want to get him back)
i wanna break his heart (but then i want to get him back)
but then be the one to stitch it up (but then i want to get him back)
wanna kiss his face (i want to get him back)
with an uppercut (but then i want to get him back)
i wanna meet his mom (but then i want to get him back)
just to tell her her son sucks (but then i want to get him back)
i wanna key his car
i wanna make him lunch
i wanna break his heart stitch it right back up
i wanna kiss his face with an uppercut
i wanna meet his mom
and tell her her son sucks yeah
i wanna get him back
I wanna make him really jealous wanna make him feel bad
oh i wanna get him back
cuz then again i really miss him and it makes me real sad
oh i want sweet revenge and
i want him again
i want to get him back and then!
i want to get him back back back
I'll get him, I'll get him, I'll get him back
