Oh, to be inside Olivia Rodrigo\u2019s<\/a> mind when she writes a song. Well, now you can be \u2014 sort of.<\/p>\n

In the latest installment of American Express\u2019 \u201cStory of my Song\u201d series, shared exclusively with NYLON, the pop star breaks down how she wrote the song \u201cHoneybee\u201d off her new record, \u201cYou Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love<\/a>.\u201d \u201cThis was, I think, the first love song that I wrote for the album, which was very important,\u201d Rodrigo prefaces. \u201cIt was basically my adventure into trying to write a song that was a \u2018love song\u2019 but it also had some element of sadness or fear or melancholy; all of my favorite love songs have those elements. I remember writing this song and being really happy for a few days after being like, \u2018Yeah, yeah, I feel really good about this,\u2019 and that doesn\u2019t always happen when you write a song so it was a special feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n

Throughout the 16-minute episode, Rodrigo shares a wealth of insights \u2014 far more than we could ever cover here \u2014 as she dissects and deconstructs the song line by line on an oversized legal pad plastered with handwritten song lyrics. The first peek behind the songwriting curtain comes during the first verse, when Rodrigo reveals an inside joke between her and longtime producer Dan Nigro.<\/p>\n
