Taylor Swift's latest song, 'imgonnagetyouback,' from her surprise double album 'The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology,' has sparked comparisons to Olivia Rodrigo's track 'Get Him Back!' Fans are noting similarities in the wordplay and themes between the two songs, reminiscent of their previous musical conflict involving 'Cruel Summer' and 'Deja Vu.'
In 'imgonnagetyouback,' Swift plays with the idea of whether she will reconcile with her partner or seek revenge, as reflected in the lyrics of the chorus. Similarly, Rodrigo's 'Get Him Back!' explores the desire for revenge and conflicting emotions towards an ex-lover.
Social media users were quick to point out the parallels between the two songs, with some appreciating the different perspectives each artist brings to the shared theme. Additionally, references were made to Fiona Apple's 2005 song 'Get Him Back,' which also utilizes similar wordplay.
Some fans raised questions about the past controversy involving Rodrigo sharing royalties with Swift over similarities in their music. While Rodrigo has expressed admiration for Swift in the past, tensions arose when she had to credit Swift and her collaborators on 'Deja Vu' due to resemblances to 'Cruel Summer.'
Despite the previous legal issues, Rodrigo has maintained that there is no feud with Swift and that she prefers to keep a low profile in the industry. She acknowledged feeling surprised by the songwriting credit additions on her tracks and emphasized her focus on her close circle of friends and family.
As fans continue to dissect the similarities between 'imgonnagetyouback' and 'Get Him Back!,' the conversation around the two artists' musical styles and influences remains ongoing.
