The Real Meaning Behind Olivia Rodrigo's 'Enough For You'

Olivia Rodrigo opened her heart on "Enough For You." In the song, she sings about everything she's done to be the best person she can be for her special someone, even pitting herself against this person's exes. Her lover eventually ditches her for another person, and Olivia feels the pain.

When she sings, "You found someonе more exciting / The nеxt second, you were gone / And you left me there cryin', wonderin' what I did wrong / And you always say I'm never satisfied / But I don't think that's true / 'Cause all I ever wanted was to be enough for you / Yeah, all I ever wanted was to be enough for you," it's clear she was upset about how their relationship ended. However, it didn't matter how she changed herself to make him like her, she knew her lover would leave — and now she "just want[s] myself back."

Considering the album is filled with heartbreak tunes — many of which fans theorize to be about her breakup with Joshua Bassett and their love triangle with Sabrina Carpenter — this is yet another song that listeners feel is about Bassett leaving her.

It's clear Rodrigo wanted to showcase her musical talents — and make a statement at the same time — with "Enough For You."
