Which additional songwriter is credited on Olivia Rodrigo’s album track “Expectations” besides Rodrigo and Dan Nigro?

The story behind the answer

Amy Allen is the additional songwriter credited on Olivia Rodrigo’s “Expectations,” alongside Rodrigo and Dan Nigro. The song is track 12 on You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love.

Allen is a frequent collaborator in contemporary pop songwriting and also appears in the album’s credits on other songs. On this record, she is credited as a writer on “Drop Dead,” “Maggots for Brains,” “Purple,” “Less,” and “Expectations.” She also provides backing vocals on “Purple.”

“Expectations” lasts 3:41 and appears in the album’s second conceptual section, “You Seem Pretty Sad.” That section begins with “The Cure” and continues through “Cigarette Smoke,” the standard edition’s closing track.

The other names in the wrong answers have different roles on the album. Steph Jones co-wrote “My Way,” Sasha Alex Sloan co-wrote “What’s Wrong with Me,” and Robert Smith performs on that latter track rather than receiving a credit on “Expectations.”
