Not least because, perCosmopolitan, plenty of people believed the track was about Bassett and Carpenter.
Of her inspiration for the song, Rodrigo toldAmerican Songwriter, “I get deja vu all the time.
I think that’s a really relatable, universal thing.”
Was Sabrina Carpenter already aware of Billy Joel?
PerUs Weekly, Joshua Bassett covered the beloved singer-songwriter’s hit track “Vienna” in 2019.
Rodrigo later notes, “I was the one who taught you Billy Joel.”
It seems, then, that Bassett didn’t introduce her to Joel.
