A little note: Rodrigo harmonises with herself when she sings the line “singing in harmony”. And haven’t we all been there? While the last episode of the show aired back in 2015, Rachel Berry and gang are clearly still relevant today.
“Watching reruns of Glee / Being annoying, singing in harmony,” Rodrigo reminisces in the lyrics of ‘Deja Vu’s first verse’. And amidst the dizzying instrumental, ‘Deja Vu’ also comes with multiple easter eggs and references, like… Glee Starting off as a ballad, the song quickly welcomes some clashing drums by the midway mark. The song, which she teased as being different both musically and melodically from ‘Drivers License’, was similarly produced by Dan Nigro (Conan Gray, Caroline Polachek). Having dropped one of 2021’s most successful singles, the inescapable ‘Drivers License’, Olivia Rodrigo returns today (April 1st) for a second ride with ‘Deja Vu’. 1.This article is part of What Do You Mean?, a series where we dive into the analysis and associations of the important songs of today.

It's tough to decide which one version is best, almost as tough as figuring out which supermodel the song was written about, so I'll leave that part up to you. So bust out some cotton swabs and clean out your ears because you're going to want to hear every note of these angelic renditions as I bestow upon you the best instances of "Uptown Girl" appearing in pop culture over the years.
The song is a pop culture staple (and deservedly so, as it's like money and chocolate delivered straight to your soul), and has maintained its popularity by showing up all over screens across the decades.
