In Olivia's case, she experienced a series of colours in her mind when listening to music, and the Disney darling revealed in her interview what shades she saw when making her own album!
In the 'Get Ready With Me' video posted to Vogue's official YouTube page, Olivia said that "lots of the songs on SOUR are purple" – we're not surprised!
She went on to assign each of her bops a colour, the pop sensation said: "Drivers license is purple but good for you is like a purple-ly blue.
"Jealousy jealousy is like bright red. Deja vu is like orange and pink and light purple," Rodrigo continued.

We wonder what colour will signify her sophomore studio album – which she has already begun teasing! We can't wait...
