Olivia Rodrigo said she ‘tortured’ collaborator Dan Nigro with changes to ‘Vampire’ before it became the lead single of her ‘Guts’ album
Olivia Rodrigo knew that “Vampire” would get fans excited for her sophomore album, Guts — but cowriter Dan Nigro wasn’t so sure.
While sitting alongside Rodrigo, 20, at her “An Evening With Olivia Rodrigo” event in Los Angeles, Nigro joked that he “definitely lost a lot of hair” over making the final call. “I tortured Dan for so long, for months,” Rodrigo said, noting she wanted to make the song perfect. “Like, ‘No, it’s too fast, it’s too slow, we need to change it by one BPM.’ … We probably have 20 versions of different BPM. And nobody even notices.”
“Vampire” wasn’t the only Guts track that caused issues in the recording studio. During Monday’s event, Rodrigo and Nigro recalled shedding a lot of tears during the 10 months they spent creating the album.Rodrgio went on to recall having “a case of the dread” while recording Guts.
