Olivia Rodrigo's Ex Zack Bia Reacts to Her 'Vampire' Song and If He Thinks It's About Him

In a recent interview with GQ, Olivia Rodrigo's former flame, Zack Bia, shared his perspective on her hit song "Vampire" and whether he believes it's directed at him. The song has sparked intense fan speculation about its inspiration and underlying meanings, particularly in relation to their past relationship. However, Bia is quick to clarify his stance on the matter.

Bia firmly states, "I don't think it's really about me." He attributes the rumors to the internet's tendency to run with assumptions. He acknowledges the possibility that he might be a part of a composite character in the song, saying, "Look, I’m in the industry, so I know how a song gets made." He goes on to firmly deny that their relationship warranted a breakup song, emphasizing that their parting was drama-free.

Expressing his admiration for "Vampire," Bia describes it as a massive hit. He comments, "The song's so big and so awesome." He recognizes the formulaic success of a heartbreak song for the summertime.

When asked why he didn't address the speculation on platforms like TikTok or social media, Bia emphasizes the importance of not dampening the momentum of a popular track. He acknowledges Olivia's exceptional songwriting and talent, expressing pride in her ongoing achievements.

In "Vampire," Olivia Rodrigo sings about an older man using her for fame, symbolically "sucking the life out of her." The song is emotionally charged, touching on past mistakes and manipulation she endured. The music video, directed by Petra Collins, adds a dramatic visual element to the narrative, depicting Rodrigo performing on stage before a shocking lighting fixture incident.

Rodrigo and Bia first sparked romance rumors in April 2022 when they were seen together in New York City. However, their rumored relationship came to an end in August 2022. Prior to her involvement with Bia, Rodrigo had been linked to Adam Faze, and even earlier, her relationship with her "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series" co-star, Joshua Bassett, had led fans to speculate that much of her debut album, "Sour," was inspired by their connection, thrusting her love life into the public spotlight.
