Olivia Rodrigo has announced a special, limited-edition 7-inch vinyl titled drivers license / burning down the house, commemorating the fifth anniversary of her breakthrough debut single “drivers license,” which was first released on January 8, 2021. The announcement arrives alongside a newly released cover of “drivers license” by David Byrne, now streaming on major platforms. According to official release details, Byrne’s recording serves as the first installment in a planned series of anniversary covers celebrating the song’s cultural impact.
The project reflects a creative connection formed during Rodrigo and Byrne’s joint appearance at the 2025 Governors Ball festival, where they performed Talking Heads’ “Burning Down the House” together. That live collaboration now appears on the vinyl, offering listeners a documented moment from the festival stage. Information about the release has been shared through Rodrigo’s official online store and verified streaming platforms, with additional reporting from established music outlets.
Olivia Rodrigo ‘drivers license / burning down the house’ 7-Inch Vinyl Details and Tracklist
The limited 7-inch vinyl is pressed on translucent ruby-red vinyl and features a two-track configuration that bridges Rodrigo’s pop milestone with Byrne’s reinterpretation.

The vinyl is priced at $15.00 and is available for pre-order exclusively through Rodrigo’s official web store, with the release described as a limited first pressing and no additional shipping timeline specified.
Alongside the primary release, a Target-exclusive variant has also been announced. This edition is pressed on fruit punch-colored vinyl and pairs the original version of “drivers license” on Side A with the same live performance of “burning down the house” on Side B. Both versions are positioned as collector-focused releases tied directly to the anniversary celebration.
