However, Rodrigo never verified these rumors. She explained she wrote the song while she was driving around in her neighborhood, in an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. While there’s speculation going on, both the artists have carved their own ways and have been successful in gaining millions of fans all over the world.
