  "account": "Olivia Rodrigo drew inspiration for her hit song \"Expectations\" from Kendrick Lamar's track \"HUMBLE.\", which she called a \"mantra\" that got stuck in her head. Speaking with Zane Lowe on Apple Music just before the \"Expectations\" remix with Chappell Roan dropped on October 16, Rodrigo spoke of writing \"Expectations\" as a personal challenge, aiming to pen a song she could sing nightly. She also credited Roan for her influence, stating that Roan's attitude and writing style inspired her. \"Expectations\" became a Billboard 200 and Billboard Hot 100 hit, while the remix video featured both Rodrigo and Roan in vintage outfits, with a Family Feud spoof hosted by David Byrne.",
