Earlier this month, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series star Olivia Rodrigo, 17, released "drivers license," a scorching breakup ballad seemingly inspired by a messy split from her costar Joshua Bassett. Rodrigo's track quickly went viral, and fans zeroed in on the lyric: "And you're probably with that blonde girl/ Who always made me doubt/ She's so much older than me/ She's everything I'm insecure about." Fans speculated the "blonde" Rodrigo referenced is Carpenter, 21, who has been seen spending time with Bassett, 20, over the last several months. At midnight on Thursday, Carpenter dropped "Skin," an emotional pop song that is seemingly a direct response to Rodrigo's claims. PEOPLE has learned Carpenter wanted the track to reflect the strength that can be found through difficult moments and the importance of focusing on joy. "Maybe you didn't mean it/ Maybe blonde was the only rhyme," she sings near the top of the track. Carpenter — who later on points out she's "not asking you to let it go" — doubles down on her resilience. "You can try to get under my, under my, under my skin while he's on mine," she sings. "I wish you knew that even you can't get under my skin if I don't let you in."

Social media users are hilariously reacting to Sabrina Carpenter's new track, "Skin," which dropped at midnight Thursday and seemingly addresses her alleged love triangle with Olivia Rodrigo and Joshua Bassett.
Earlier this month, Rodrigo, 17, dropped her song "drivers license," which many fans believe mentions Carpenter, who has been spending time with Rodrigo's rumored ex and High School Musical: The Musical: The Series co-star Joshua Bassett, 20, in recent months.
On Thursday night, Carpenter seemingly responded with a song of her own — and fans and famous pals alike were equally captivated by the latest drama.
In Rodrigo's lyric that initially stirred up a social media frenzy, she sings, "And you're probably with that blonde girl / Who always made me doubt / She's so much older than me / She's everything I'm insecure about." Given the description, fans quickly pieced together that Rodrigo was likely singing about Carpenter.
Now, the "blonde girl" is telling her side of the story.

Joshua Bassett is showing support for Sabrina Carpenter amid a rumored musical feud between her and his co-star (and rumored ex-girlfriend) Olivia Rodrigo. On Friday, the High School Musical: The Musical: The Series actor praised Carpenter's new single, "Skin," which fans think is about Rodrigo. Posting a screenshot of Carpenter's single's cover art, Bassett, 20, wrote, "Been stuck in my head since I heard it!!!" "Congratulations @sabrinacarpenter on 'skin,' the new label, & all that's to come!!!" he added. HSMTMTS co-stars Bassett and Rodrigo, 17, never confirmed an off-screen romance. However, fans think the pair previously dated before breaking up last year. Rodrigo posted a TikTok about "failed relationships" in August. As for Bassett and Carpenter, 21, the two have been romantically linked for months, even posting their Halloween couples costume on social media. Earlier this month, Rodrigo released the hit single "Drivers License" in which she sings about an unnamed ex and about how he's "probably with that blonde girl / who always made me doubt /she's so much older than me / she's everything I'm insecure about." Fans couldn't help but interpret that to be about Carpenter, who is blonde and four years older than Rodrigo. "Maybe we could’ve been friends/ If I met you in another life/ Maybe then we could pretend/ There’s no gravity in the words we write/ Maybe you didn’t mean it/ Maybe blonde was the only rhyme," she sings. "And I’m not asking you to let it go but/ You been tellin’ your side/ So I’ll be tellin’ mine," Carpenter adds in another verse, also singing, "You can try/ To get under my under my under my skin/ While he’s on mine…Don’t drive yourself insane." Meanwhile last week, Bassett also dropped his song titled "Lies, Lies, Lies," which fans also seemed to think was a response to Rodrigo's "Drivers License."

Sabrina Carpenter showed a few seconds of "Skin" on Sunday (Jan. 31). http://instagram.com/p/CKt4anSA74C "SKIN MUSIC VIDEO TOMORROW 2pm PT," she wrote on Twitter. "going live on my YouTube Channel right before at 1:40pm PT." "Maybe we could have been friends," Carpenter sings in the clip, which shows a quick montage of what seems to be romantic scenes from a relationship. Carpenter, who recently signed with Island Records, surprise-released the song on Jan. 22. Fans speculated it was a response to Olivia Rodrigo's hit single "Drivers License," due to rumors of a love triangle involving Rodrigo, Carpenter and Joshua Bassett. (In "Drivers License," Rodrigo sings, "And you're probably with that blonde girl/ Who always made me doubt/ She's so much older than me/ She's everything I'm insecure about." In "Skin," Carpenter sings, "Maybe you didn't mean it/ Maybe ‘blonde’ was the only rhyme.")

http://instagram.com/p/CKxOinEjMOF For someone who doesn’t let drama get “under her skin,” it sure seems like something itchy is happening to Sabrina Carpenter. The singer just dropped the video for her song “Skin,” largely seen as a response to Olivia Rodrigo’s “Drivers License.” The video is rife with references to her alleged love triangle with Joshua Bassett and Rodrigo — it not only features a Bassett look-alike but a literal car. http://instagram.com/p/CKw2rWqjWPz Carpenter and Josh 2.0 kiss in bed during a snowstorm, eat dinner together, and dance in the living room as something (perhaps … the drama?) threatens to knock the house down. Then we see Carpenter sitting atop the aforementioned car as she sings in the rain. For someone who got her driver’s license at least four years ago, she should know that’s not safe! If you want to further decode all the references in the video, watch below:
