As Nini, a theater kid cast as the lead in her school's production of High School Musical while going through a breakup with her co-star (an instance of art imitating life, if you believe the gossip about “Drivers License”),
罗德里戈在学校的音乐剧《歌舞青春》中扮演主角妮妮，当时她正在和搭档分手（如果你相信有关“驾照”的八卦，那么这是一种模仿生活的艺术），
Rodrig deftly stepped into the role of an ingenue balancing ambition and heartache.
她巧妙地扮演了这个平衡了野心和心痛的天真少女角色。
She was also able to showcase her songwriting skills: when they needed a reflective song for Nini,
她还能够展示自己的歌曲创作技巧：当他们需要为妮妮创作具有代表性的歌曲时，
showrunner Tim Federle, who had seen videos of Rodrigo playing songs she wrote on Instagram, invited her to give it a shot.
由于节目执行总裁蒂姆·费德勒(Tim Federle)曾在Instagram上看过罗德里戈演奏她写的歌曲的视频，于是邀请她来试一试。
He sent her an email, with her mom copied, but noted that schoolwork and SAT prep should come first.
他给她发了一封电子邮件，还给她妈妈抄送了一份，但他指出，学校作业和SAT备考应该放在第一位。
Just a few days later, Rodrigo played him a draft.
几天后，罗德里戈给了他表演了试唱。
“She plugs into something that is so well observed and so raw,” Federle says.
费德勒说:“她插入了一些观察得很好、很原始的东西。”
Her song “All I Want” took off on TikTok in late 2019, the hit of the season.
2019年末，她的歌曲《我想要的一切》在TikTok上走红，成为当季的热门歌曲。
Instead of signing with Disney's Hollywood Records, once home to Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez, Rodrigo went with Geffen Records, which had emphasized her skill as a song writer.
罗德里戈没有签约迪士尼的好莱坞唱片公司——曾是麦莉·赛勒斯和赛琳娜·戈麦斯的签约公司，而是选择了格芬唱片公司，该公司重视罗德里戈的歌曲创作能力。
The deal was announced in January 2021, and she chose to make her album with Dan Nigro, a producer who has worked with alt-pop darlings like Conan Gray and Caroline Polachek.
该协议于2021年1月宣布，她选择与丹·尼格罗一起制作专辑，后者是一名制作人，曾与柯南·格雷和卡罗琳·波拉切克等另类流行音乐宠儿合作。
Together, Nigro and Rodrigo had already made “Drivers License.”
尼格罗和罗德里戈已经一起制作了“驾照”。
Nigro and Rodrigo bonded over shared references: he and her mother are just a few years apart, which meant that his nostalgic favorites were the songs Rodrigo heard at home.
尼格罗和罗德里戈因为共同的经历而亲密起来：他和罗德里戈的母亲仅相差几岁，这意味着他最喜欢的怀旧歌曲是罗德里戈在家里听到的。
“She knows the whole Rage Against the Machine catalog the same way I do,” Nigro says.
尼格罗说道:“她和我一样了解《Rage Against the Machine》的所有内容。
And he respected her impulse to continue innovating as they crafted the songs that became Sour, even with the overwhelming success of “Drivers License.”
尽管《驾照》取得了巨大的成功，在创作《酸》专辑时，他尊重她继续创新的冲动。
“It made her feel empowered to do other things, which felt so mature,” he says.
“这让她觉得自己有能力做其他事情，这让她觉得自己很成熟，”他说。
When Rodrigo released the swoony midtempo “Deja Vu” as her second single, she became the first artist ever to debut both of their first official singles in the top 10 of the Hot 100.
当罗德里戈发行了令人神魂颠倒的、节奏适中的第二首单曲“Deja Vu”，她成为了有史以来第一个将两首官方单曲都打入热门100强前10名的艺人。
“Songwriting is the thing I take most seriously in my life,” Rodrigo says. “It's the most personally gratifying too.”
罗德里戈说:“写歌是我一生中最认真的事情。“这也是我个人最满意的。”
She'll return for Season 3 of the High School Musical series, which starts filming in January, and maybe she'll act more in the future.
她会在《歌舞青春》第三季中回归，该剧将于明年1月开拍，也许她会在未来出演更多的角色。
But music is her priority. While she was surrounded by adults with more power and experience when making Sour, she held firm in her belief that people want to hear something honest.
但音乐是她的首选。虽然制作《酸》时，她周围都是更有实力和经验的成年人，但她坚信，人们想要听到诚实的声音。
The songs had to come from her. “I literally wrote them in my bedroom,” she says. “And I think you can tell.”
歌曲必须由她亲自创作。“我实际上是在卧室里写的这些歌，”她说。“我想你能看出来。”
