Watch Olivia Rodrigo Finish Her Album ‘SOUR’ in a ‘driving home 2 u’ Sneak Peek (VIDEO)
Olivia Rodrigo may have gotten her start on Disney+‘s original series High School Musical: The Musical: The Series as Nini, but she’s taking her triple-platinum debut album SOUR to the streaming platform with Olivia Rodrigo: driving home 2 u (a SOUR film).
Set to arrive Friday, March 25 on the streamer, we’re offering her fans a sneak peek behind the curtain with an exclusive clip from the movie. Featuring songs like “drivers license,” “traitor,” “Good 4 U,” and the titular track “sour,” the album arrived in May 2021, and since then has become a major hit.

But the process was a little more tedious for the performer who worked on SOUR for a year in the studio before fans were finally allowed to listen, and in the sneak peek, above, all of that hard work comes to an end as Rodrigo and her producer, Dan Nigro, finish the album. As they stand together in the studio listening to the final song peter out, there’s a sense of finality.
The bittersweetness takes over as Rodrigo and Nigro decide the album is ready and she screams, “I’m gonna cry, I’m gonna cry.” Nigro echoes her by adding, “what a sad time.”
“It’s so weird, it’s a weird year of my life spent in this studio,” Rodrigo chimes in, acknowledging the accomplishment and varied emotions she’s feeling.
“Nothing will ever be the same,” Nigro notes, and it’s really true. Since SOUR debuted, Rodrigo went from being the star of HSMTMTS to a global superstar known by many. And while the pair are glad for the album’s conclusion in the clip above, Rodrigo says, “hopefully, it won’t be so sad in the next record.”
