But more than the album, Olivia’s fans were quick to notice Taylor Swift being credited as one of the songwriters on the album.

Apart from Taylor Swift’s the Grammy winner’s frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff has also been credited on this track. This credit has been included in the track 1 step forward, 3 steps back.

Moreover, the song also paid homage to Taylor’s obsession with the number 13 since it has been titled, 1 step forward, 3 steps back i.e. 1 and 3= Swift’s lucky number 13. This songwriting credit has given hope to the two singers collaborating in the future. Moreover, fans could also see Rodrigo being a part of Swift’s upcoming re-releasing album list, but nothing concrete about the same has been confirmed.
