Olivia Rodrigo's song "Get Him Back!" is about her complex feelings toward an ex-partner, expressing both a desire to reconcile with him and to exact revenge. The song explores the paradox of wanting to "get him back" in two senses: restoring the relationship and making him jealous or feel bad. This dual meaning reflects the emotional turmoil of a snuffed-out love affair where love and anger coexist
. The lyrics describe the ex as someone with an ego, temper, and wandering eye, who was also fun and had "weird friends." Rodrigo sings about missing him at times but also recalling his flaws, such as making a pass on her friend. The song captures the conflicting emotions of love, hate, jealousy, and sadness
. Though Olivia does not explicitly name the person, fans speculate that the song is at least partly about her producer ex, Adam Faze, based on the timeline and some lyrical hints like "I met a guy in the summer and I left him in the spring," which matches their relationship period
. "Get Him Back!" is a rap rock and pop-punk track from Rodrigo's 2023 album Guts , praised for its humorous lyricism and energetic chorus. The song was a commercial success, reaching top charts internationally and receiving platinum certifications
