"Vampire" was the lead single from Guts, Olivia Rodrigo's second album, out in June 2023: a piano-driven song that gradually bares its teeth. Rodrigo wrote it with her producer Dan Nigro, who plays a small orchestra's worth of parts himself, from guitar and bass to Mellotron and Moog, while Paul Cartwright's violin and viola and Sterling Laws's drums push it toward something gothic and grand, with a disco-rock pulse underneath. Serban Ghenea mixed it.
It went to number one in the US, the UK and six more countries, earned Grammy nominations for Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance, and Petra Collins's video took home the MTV Video Music Award for Best Editing.
