Olivia released the song “Boy Bye” in 2021. The song was her debut single. “The inspiration for ‘Boy Bye’ is drawn from situations where ‘the thrill is in the chase,’” Olivia told Vents magazine. “Meaning, as soon as the boy thinks he has a hold on you, he is suddenly not interested. As soon as he sees us girls thriving and enjoying life without him, he wants to crawl back.”
