Why is Drivers License such a big, record-breaking hit? Well, I think it captures an emotion perfectly through the craft of music. Here I use music theory for an analysis of what makes this song tick and won't seem to leave us alone. This is How Olivia Rodrigo's Drivers License works...musically, that is.
