This issue at hand was a songwriting credits controversy — after Swift was credited as a songwriter on the Sour album track 1 Step Forward, 3 Steps Back because it uses an interpolation of Swift’s 2017 anthem New Year’s Day, Swift and her collaborators Jack Antonoff and St. Vincent later got retroactive songwriting credit on the Rodrigo hit Deja Vu because of its alleged interpolation the Swift song Cruel Summer. This supposed similarity was much less straightforward and was highly questioned by listeners and fans of each artist. In addition, it forced Rodrigo to give up 50% of her songwriting royalties for the breakout tune.
It also opened up the door for Swift’s friend and fellow musician Hayley Williams of Paramore, and her bandmate Josh Farro, to seek retroactive songwriting credits on Good 4 U, another popular track from Rodrigo’s Sour, for its similarity to Paramore’s 2007 song Misery Business. The whole situation cast doubts on Rodrigo’s originality as an artist, although she was also defended by other established musicians who thought fault lied with the music veterans petitioning a young artist on the rise for questionably warranted songwriting credits.
