    Why this status: The song contains emotional themes about a breakup and self-worth in a relationship, but no profanity or explicit sexual content is present.

  • Olivia Rodrigo - Can’t Catch Me Now - from The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes

    Clean

    Album: The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (Music From & Inspired By)

    Why this status: No casual expletives, insults, or vulgar language detected. The song uses metaphorical imagery of blood, snow, storms, and fire as symbolic representations of vengeance and consequences from The Hunger Games narrative context. The threatening tone ('I'm in the trees, I'm in the breeze', 'I'm comin' like a storm') is metaphorical and thematic rather than explicit or profane. The lyrics convey anger and determination through vivid imagery appropriate for a movie soundtrack tied to a young adult dystopian story. No explicit sexual content present.

  • Olivia Rodrigo - logical

    Clean

    Album: GUTS

    Why this status: No casual profanity or expletives detected. The word 'h***' appears in the metaphorical context 'put myself through h*** for you,' which is a descriptive/poetic expression of emotional hardship, not an expletive or intensifier. The song uses 'God' as an interjection in 'God, you're so good,' which is a common conversational expression, not blasphemous. The content addresses emotional manipulation and an unhealthy relationship through introspective lyrics with metaphors like 'two plus two equals five' and 'sky is green, grass is red' to illustrate distorted thinking. While the themes are mature and emotionally complex, there is no explicit sexual content, graphic violence, or profanity that would be inappropriate for a school setting. The song is relatable to teen experiences with unhealthy relationships and self-reflection.

  • Olivia Rodrigo - scared of my guitar

    Clean

    Album: GUTS (spilled)

    Why this status: The song contains introspective lyrics about relationships, emotional vulnerability, and self-doubt with no profanity or explicit sexual content. While there is mention of lying in someone's arms and emotional ambivalence about a relationship, the language is poetic and metaphorical rather than explicit. The repeated refrain 'pretend that it's love' explores emotional uncertainty in an age-appropriate manner. The guitar serves as a metaphor for truth and self-awareness throughout the song.

Why the Album Label Is Not Enough

An explicit tag on an album says nothing about the song you were asked for. Olivia Rodrigo's records mix tracks with profanity alongside songs that have none, so the useful check is per song. The reasons listed next to each title describe what is actually in the lyrics.

Soundtrack and Live Recordings

Some of her clean songs come from outside her own albums, including her High School Musical: The Musical: The Series recordings and her Hunger Games soundtrack single. Live and alternate versions are listed separately, because each recording is checked on its own lyrics.
