"Deja Vu" was the second single from Sour, Olivia Rodrigo's 2021 debut on Geffen and Interscope, and it had to follow "Drivers License", which plenty of critics reckoned it did. Rodrigo wrote it with producer Dan Nigro, and an interpolation of Taylor Swift's 2019 "Cruel Summer" put Swift, Jack Antonoff and St. Vincent on the credits. It's about an ex making fresh memories with someone new while Rodrigo still can't shake the old ones, and the song even name-checks Malibu, where Allie Avital shot the video.
Nigro plays guitars, synth, Wurlitzer and percussion, with Jam City on guitar and organ, Sterling Laws on drums and Ryan Linvill on flute and sax. It debuted at number eight on the Hot 100, making Rodrigo the first artist to see her first two singles both open in the top 10, and later rose to three.
