“jealousy, jealousy” is about the unrealistic standards society has set for young people, most notably young women, particularly on social media.

On the track, Olivia sings about the constant comparison and self-hatred that social media often leads to. In April 2020 Olivia performed an unreleased song with a similar theme, also discussing the warped version of reality that social media can present.

When speaking to the BBC in March 2021, Olivia shared this about “jealousy, jealousy”:

I wrote that song at a time when I was borderline addicted to social media and I just felt crippled by the comparisons. I am someone who has somewhat of a large following, so I think it’s cool that I can be like, ‘Yo, I still hate myself. I still compare myself to other girls.’
