Drivers License 5-Year Anniversary Teaser from Olivia Rodrigo


Key Highlights

  • Olivia Rodrigo is hinting at a special event for the anniversary of her hit single, “Drivers License.”
  • The website now features a mock driver’s license renewal application for fans to sign up for updates.
  • An event is teased for 9 a.m. PT on January 8, marking five years since the song’s release.
  • Rodrigo has been actively writing music, despite not releasing new songs since her album Guts.

Olivia Rodrigo seems to be teasing something ahead of the five-year anniversary of her breakout single, “Drivers License,” with the pop star changing up her website to display a cryptic submission form on Monday (Jan. 5).

Rather than Rodrigo’s usual webpage, her site now simply shows a faux driver’s license renewal application from the “Department of Driving Home 2 U” that prompts fans to share their emails for future updates. The “appointment information” section of the virtual document teases that something will happen at 9 a.m. PT on Jan. 8 — exactly five years after “Drivers License” first dropped in 2021.

There’s also a tribute to the release date of Rodrigo’s debut album, Sour, on the form, which records the “file number” as “05212021.”

Billboard has reached out to Rodrigo’s representative for more information.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been a half decade since the California native shot to superstardom with “Drivers License,” which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent a total of eight weeks atop the chart. Rodrigo would go on to score her second No. 1 hit with “Good 4 U” in May 2021, the same week she dropped five-week Billboard 200-topper Sour. In 2022, she’d win best pop vocal album for the LP and best pop solo performance for its lead single.

Rodrigo has released just one album since, dropping Guts in 2023. Fans were eager for more material in 2025, but the High School Musical: The Musical: The Series alum hasn’t shared any new songs since the five she added to the deluxe version of Guts in March 2024. She did, however, release a live album, Live from Glastonbury (A BBC Recording), on Dec. 5.

That’s not to say she hasn’t been writing, though. “Writing songs is really therapeutic for me, so I’m always noodling around making stuff even when I’m not in the studio making an album,” she told Billboard in 2024 amid her Guts World Tour, which wrapped the following summer. “I’m trying not to put too much pressure on anything right now.”
