The story behind ‘Good 4 U’ by Olivia Rodrigo

“Good 4 U” by Olivia Rodrigo is a song about a toxic relationship. This song is relatable for many young people, especially for those who have gone through a toxic relationship.
You know when you like someone who isn’t good for you? Like, they might treat you poorly, or make you feel bad about yourself, but you can’t help but be drawn to them? That’s exactly what “Good 4 U” is about.
In the song, Olivia is singing about a person who is mistreating her, but she still wishes the best for them. She’s trying to make sense of the conflicting feelings she has towards this person. On one hand, they’re causing her pain and suffering, but on the other hand, she still wants them to be happy.
The chorus of the song is especially powerful. It repeats the line “You’re so good for me, you’re good for me, you’re so good for me, but I’m bad for you.” This shows the contrast between how the person she’s singing about sees her, and how she sees herself. The person she’s singing about might think they’re doing her a favor by being with her, but in reality, they’re hurting her.
“Good 4 U” is a reminder that it’s important to surround ourselves with people who treat us well and make us feel good about ourselves. It’s okay to cut ties with someone who’s not good for us, even if it hurts in the moment. In the end, it’s always better to be surrounded by people who love and support us, rather than those who bring us down.
