What happens when you want to make a song radio-friendly while keeping its fiery essence intact? Well, Rodrigo took to TikTok to give us a hilarious glimpse into her playful journey.
To find suitable alternatives to the original lyrics, Rodrigo playfully experimented with various phrases. Her phrases were accompanied by laughter-filled exchanges with her producer, Dan Nigro. The brainstorming session yielded some amusing options like “tree hugger,” “whale blubber,” “Mark Zucker,” and even “garlic butter.”
Amidst the tough competition, Rodrigo finally settled on the phrase “dream crusher.” It’s a clever choice that captures the essence of the original line while keeping it radio-friendly. The video showcases Rodrigo’s infectious spirit and her willingness to have fun while creating music.
With the release of “Vampire,” Rodrigo sets the stage for her forthcoming album, Guts, slated for release on September 8. This powerful track not only reflects Rodrigo’s personal journey but also resonates with anyone who has experienced heartbreak and frustration.

This evocative ballad follows in the footsteps of her debut album’s lead single, “Drivers License.” However, while “Drivers License” exuded innocence, “Vampire” sees Rodrigo shedding her niceties and delivering a seething “telling off” to an ex-partner. It’s a song born out of raw emotions, as Rodrigo explains.
“I was upset about a certain situation and went to the studio alone and sat down at the grand piano. And the chords and melody and lyrics just poured out of me — almost like an out-of-body experience,” Rodrigo said.
Initially envisioned as a piano ballad, Rodrigo’s collaboration with Nigro took an unexpected turn. The duo infused the heartfelt lyrics with robust drums and captivating tempo changes, transforming the track into a heartbreak anthem you can’t resist moving to.
Accompanying the track is a visually stunning music video that marks a significant shift in Rodrigo’s artistic direction. It’s a mesmerizing visual experience that captures the essence of the song and introduces us to the more mature side of Rodrigo. With “Vampire,” she makes a bold statement, solidifying her position as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.
