about

In I Want Everyone to Like Me, the third single off Slug Dreams, a frustrated pre-teen Dolly throws a tantrum over cutesy pop production. The lyrics are a collection of Dolly's tweets from over the years.
Slug Dreams, out September 14, 2021, is a diverse yet cohesive collection of dreamy ballads, spoken word pieces, moody dance-influenced earworms, and high energy pop, all with Dolly’s signature electronic production style, catchy melodies and an affinity for processed or altered vocals. Its eclectic influences include Kate Bush, Caroline Polachek, Mitski, Oneohtrix Point Never and SOPHIE but Dolly’s sound is one of a kind.
Dolly Dirtbag is a loose collection of warring personalities and the musical and artistic alter-ego of Olivia Hauser, an LA-based avant-pop songwriter and producer. The Dolly pantheon plays with traditional tropes of femininity: the slutty baby, the sassy pre-teen, the scorned woman but also includes a gender-neutral, calm and heavenly slug and seeks to complicate stereotypes by refusing to occupy a stable persona. Dolly thrives most in areas of tension between supposed opposites or differentiated categories: in between characters, genres, genders, in between high and low-brow culture. The project also straddles the line between playful, over-the-top sarcasm and raw emotional vulnerability and in doing so speaks to the universal struggle to forge a self somewhere in between authenticity and performance.

lyrics

The more too much I feel the more I become
I’m so insensitive when I’m lonely

Am I being too dramatic?
Why do people always spit me back out?

I want everyone to like me all the time
