Pop singer Olivia Rodrigo has a new Christmas song, “Take Me Home (4 Christmas),” according to a Pitchfork report by Hattie Lindert, whose headline invites readers to listen to the track. The report's summary says that “She just wants to enjoy a hungover brunch with your mom,” and it offers no further description of the song's content.

BBC News reported on a different aspect of the single, under a headline stating that the song “sounds familiar” on purpose. According to BBC News, the pop star sought permission from the cult 80s band The Waitresses before releasing her festive single. The outlet's summary describes the group in those terms.

The two reports concern the same single but emphasize different elements. Pitchfork's coverage, as reflected in its headline and summary, centers on the song itself and its brunch setting. BBC News centers on the song's familiar sound and on the permission sought from The Waitresses before the release. Taken together, the sources agree on the song's title and its festive character, while only BBC News reports on The Waitresses.

Neither the Pitchfork nor the BBC News summary says whether The Waitresses granted the permission, which parts of the song sound familiar, or how the band responded. The summaries also do not provide the full text of either article, the song's lyrics, or any statement from Rodrigo, her representatives, or the band.

This account, based on Pitchfork and BBC News, draws only on the headlines, summaries, and publication details of the two reports named above.
