Sing along with this custom karaoke version of **"Expectations"** by **Olivia Rodrigo**, produced by **The Proper Volume**.
Appearing on Olivia Rodrigo's third studio album, _**you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love**_, "Expectations" explores self-worth, vulnerability, and the emotional weight that can come from placing impossible standards on ourselves and the people we love. The song balances heartbreak and growth, creating one of the album's most reflective moments.
Fun fact: despite the title, lowering your expectations will not make this chorus any less catchy. Several critics also highlighted the song as an important turning point in the album's emotional journey, where self-awareness begins to replace uncertainty.
Whether you're preparing for a performance, recording a cover, or singing in your kitchen at 1 AM for reasons you'd rather not discuss, this karaoke version is ready for you.

# Lyrics
I met him at a party, I think he was on drugs
He wasn't smart or funny, I convinced myself he was
He had a great apartment and a car his parents bought
I thought that he was perfect, and now his number's blocked
Took a couple months (Took a couple months)
But now I am secure (Now I am secure)
I am so evolved (I am so evolved)
Now I ask for more and more and more and more and more
I won't settle for a guy with a fake job
He seems so desperate for loving, but, baby, I'm not
Gave my heart with zero stipulations
Now I take careful consideration
I'm not kissing any boy that is passive
Their indecision is painfully unattractive
Past mistakes are just new information
These days, I've got expectations
So I hit the new year like a single girl at a Vegas bar
Rocking my mini dress with a vodka cran' and an open heart
Yeah, I've got hope, yeah, I've got drive, I will not lose my faith
Don't think my future husband's at this bar in Silver Lake
But in a couple months (In a couple months)
A man will be procured (This man will be procured)
He will be evolved (He will be evolved)
And I will be adored, adored, adored, adored, adored
I won't settle for a guy with a fake job
He seems so desperate for loving, but, baby, I'm not
Gave my heart with zero stipulations
Now I take careful consideration
I'm not kissing any boy that is passive
Their indecision is painfully unattractive
Past mistakes are just new information
These days, I've got expectations
I've got big expectations
I've got real big expectations
I've got big expectations
I've got real big expectations
She's got big expectations
She's got real big expectations
She's got big expectations
She's got real big expectations
I won't settle for a guy with a fake job
He seems so desperate for loving, but, baby, I'm not (Baby, I'm not)
Gave my heart with zero stipulations
Now I take careful consideration (I take, I take)
I'm not kissing any boy that is passive
Their indecision is painfully unattractive
Past mistakes are just new information
These days, I've got expectations
