"GUTS" is the 2nd studio album by American singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo released in 2023. Inspired by the period of time immediately following her debut album "Sour"'s success, Rodrigo conceived "GUTS" hoping to reflect the process of maturity she experienced toward the end of her teenage years.
A sonically diverse pop record with energetic songs and soft ballads, "GUTS" experiments with rock influences more than its predecessor, using a variety of guitar and drum sounds from alternative and pop rock styles. The subject matter deals with Rodrigo's transition from adolescence to adulthood and its tribulations.
"GUTS" was met with widespread acclaim and praised by music critics for its lyrical wit, complexity, and topicality as well as the overall music aesthetic and energy. Reviews noted both humorous and emotionally fraught lyrics, detailing Rodrigo's struggles with identity, romantic and professional disillusionment, unexpected stardom, and societal expectations as a young woman. "GUTS" topped album charts in 14 countries, including the United States, Australia, Germany, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
This version includes "Obsessed" as a hidden track on the end of the 2nd side, all contained in a beautiful gatefold edition.
