Which artist covered Olivia Rodrigo’s “Maggots for Brains” in the BBC Radio Live Lounge?

The story behind the answer

Role Model covered Olivia Rodrigo’s “Maggots for Brains” in the BBC Radio Live Lounge.

The album’s legacy section records that American singer-songwriter Role Model performed a cover of “Maggots for Brains” for the BBC Radio Live Lounge. The same section notes that English singer-songwriter Sienna Spiro covered Rodrigo’s “Less,” creating an easy pairing to mix up.

“Maggots for Brains” is track four on the standard album. Rodrigo co-wrote it with Amy Allen and Dan Nigro, and the recording lasts exactly 4:00. It belongs to the “Girl So in Love” half of the album’s stylistic structure.

A Live Lounge cover is a separate performance from the original studio recording. Role Model’s appearance did not make him a credited writer or featured vocalist on Rodrigo’s album. It is documented as a later interpretation of the track rather than part of the album’s original personnel.
