Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, I'm Olivia Rocks and this is my most requested
Live Ask Anything Chat. Thank you so much to Romeo
and I Hurt Radio. And my new song is out currently.
It's called Been This Way Before You guys love it.
So I've got my laptop here. We're going to answer
all these amazing questions that you all have submitted. So
thank you so much to all of my fans, my
rock stars out there. I love you guys. Um. So,

(00:25):
the first question is from Tracy in Boston, Massachusetts, and
she says, can you pronounce your full name with the
proper hometown accent? Thanks? Oh, yes, the proper hometown accent
of my name. Well, you know, it's Olivia Rocks or
o X No, that sounds way too snobby, but I'm
originally from Boulder, Colorado. Um. So, I don't know what

(00:46):
my accent is, if I have one or not. Maybe
it's neutral because I've traveled so much, or maybe it's
a very obvious accent to everyone else who hears it. Um.
But yeah, my name is Olivia Rocks. Um. Well, technically
my full name is Olivia Isabella Hannah Hill slash rocks Um.
That's me. Okay, next question, Tina from Grand Rapids. So,

(01:08):
what are your favorite flowers? Oh? Am, I gonna get flowers.
I love flowers, Okay, now I'm just kidding. Um. Smell wise,
I really love jasmine. I have some in our garden
at home, and every time it blooms, it's just delightful,
Like I'll just stand outside and be smelling it, and
the neighbors are probably like, what is her problem anyway? Um?

(01:30):
But I also I really love colorful flowers, so daisies,
and like, if I get a bouquet of pink flowers
of any type, really, I'll just be so happy and
over the moon. Warren from Agora, Hey, you know what
I think? I know who this is. Who is your
favorite saxophone player that happens to be my dad? Um,

(01:52):
Warren Hill, That's why I know who it is. Thanks
I heart for choosing that question. I appreciate it because
I'm not here with my dad right now. He's back
home and I am in Paris. I'm in my hotel
room right now. Um, so of course my dad he's amazing.
Warren Hill, shout out love you, daddy. Okay. And Katie

(02:12):
from to Play in Illinois. Have you ever been in
love and if so, tell us about it. We're getting
into the deep questions. Um, yes, I think so. UM.
It's you know, love is very strange because you can
fall so madly in love with someone, um, and then

(02:35):
it can end and it's heartbreaking and terrible, but also
absolutely wonderful that you were able to experience that to
begin with. UM. So yeah, I have. I definitely have
been in love UM so much so that I wrote
the whole album about it that's going to be coming
out soon. Um. It was pretty cool to get to
put all of those feelings, like the ebb and flow

(02:58):
and the the torture of it. Sometimes it's misery being
in love, UM, but it's beautiful and it's wonderful and
it's I wouldn't trade it for the world. So um yes, definitely. Okay.
Cassie from Woodland Hills, California, what is your favorite music
video of yours and why? Honestly, I have a lot

(03:21):
of favorites, which is rare for some artists because for me,
I just have so much fun with every single project
I've done UM, and hopefully in future I continue to
have that much fun because it's all about having the
right team around you. And creating this amazing space. UM.
And we've definitely done that. So I think I probably

(03:43):
have three music videos, if that's allowed. I don't know
you're asking for a favorite, but I don't know if
I can choose between them. Um Galileo because I dressed
up full on UM like Galileo galile Italian old man. Um.
We did this whole comedy thing where he basically invented
the electric guitar. UM, which that was that was really fun.

(04:07):
I had to admit I love doing comedy. UM. Second
one would probably be Princess. Uh. It literally felt like
we were back in time and we just had so
much fun in this fairy tale romance. UM and the costumes.
I secretly just want to dress like that all the time.
And UM. And the third one would probably be been
This Way Before, which is my newest song. And that

(04:30):
was awesome too with the costumes. That was in the
nineteen fifties and it literally it felt so authentic. I
need so many great friends on that set that I'm
just so close with now, and I wouldn't trade it
for the world. UM. Good question rose from Hamilton, Ohio.
If I was to come to breakfast to the Rocks House.
What is the specialty of the house. Okay, I do

(04:53):
love making breakfast. That's like a little secret obsession of mine. Um.
I make a really good salmon eggs benedict and I've
been perfecting this through the years, so like every time
guests come over, Um, I'll try to make my salmon
eggs benedict, and every time I think it gets a
little bit better. Or maybe that's just in my mind
and I'm just doing the same recipe over and over again.
I don't know. Um, but I have this like little

(05:15):
secret hollandaise sauce that I make and I put some paprika,
a lot of paprika, actually a little bit of cayenne.
It's very lemony. Of course, a yolk and all the
you know, staples and butter and um. And you have
to put dil on top. That's like that's a must.
If you're gonna do salmon eggs benedict, it has to
have dil um. Yeah, I would say that's the specialty.

(05:36):
I enjoyed making out a lot. Leo from Westlake Village
see a Hi Olivia love Venice way before music video.
Are you working on something right now? Any projects that yes? Hilio,
thank you so much. Thank you for loving ven this
way before. I love that music video too. UM. Are

(05:56):
you working on something right now? I am working on
a lot of things right now. I'm always very busy. UM.
I think probably because I'm a writer and I'm always
so extremely inspired with the things that i do. That's
why I have so many things going on. Um. But
right now I'm in Paris and I've been doing some
final research for actually my book, um, which I never

(06:18):
thought I would say, but I have a book coming out,
so I'm doing all of the final research before it's published.
I was in Morocco and Amsterdam and I'm in Paris
and going back to Rome, which is where I'm actually
filming a music video. So that's pretty cool. Um. And
I also have a Christmas album coming out this year,

(06:39):
so excited about that. I love Christmas. UM. And that's
just my first Christmas album that I'm releasing. So I
have I've had a song that has been coming out.
It's kind of like becoming a little classic, which is
very happy for me. UM. And it was like number
thirteen Billboard last year, so now we're following it up
with a Christmas album and then after that, I have

(07:02):
my new pop album coming out that I just worked
on in the studio with such an amazing band, just
all star. UM. One of the guys literally left the
session and the next day he was playing Madison Square Garden,
and I thought that was really funny because we were
all trying to get it out of him. We're like, oh,
where are you going? Why are you leaving our session?
Come on man, and he was I know, I have

(07:22):
to go play Madison Square Garden with Elton John And
we're like, yeah, that's a pretty good excuse, I have
to admit, but that was really cool and just we
had so much fun recording these albums. I can't wait
for them to be released. I'm over the moon about it.
And actually this this new pop album is called love Struck.
So I was just telling you about being in love

(07:44):
and that is the album that is all about being
in love. UM, that's coming out, so it's very very cool.
Good question. I like that. Question landed from Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
How do you handle someone toying with your feelings all
the time. I don't know how to, m Um. I

(08:06):
feel like I don't put up with that for me,
in my life, UM, because it can be very draining.
And I know from experience because I was I was
dating this guy and he was he was toying with
my parents, he was I wasn't sure if he was

(08:28):
madly in love with me or wanted nothing to do
with me. And it was this really strange push and
pull where I was like, one day, you know, okay,
he doesn't like me, if this is over, we should
not be together. And then the next day he'd bring
me flowers and he's like, oh, you know anyway. Um.
But I very quickly realized that was not for me

(08:51):
that kind of relationship, and I need someone to be
sure of where we are. UM. So I actually ended it,
which was like I hate doing that, um, but it
was necessary and I think it was good. But UM,
I think just in my personal experience, it's not good

(09:13):
for me. I don't I don't like people touring twining
with my feelings. UM. But I also don't want to
break up any marriages here, so you know, but that's
just me personally. I sort of change, you know, if
something's not working like that, I'm like, nope, I'm going
to find something better for me. UM. Because it is
love is mutual and I don't know if you're referring

(09:35):
to love or not. UM. It could be really anything,
any relationship, even the friend or UM. You know. But yeah,
I think I think you should stand up for who
you are and say nope, this is not how I
like it. And honestly, sometimes if you clarify, they're like
I was doing that. I had no idea. I'm so sorry,

(09:56):
and then you move past it and you have a
way better relationship. So I think just be yourself and
be strong, UM and support you. Hope everything works out. Oh.
I think that's the end of the questions. Thank you guys.
That was so much fun and thank you too. I

(10:17):
hurt Radio and this was my exclusive ask Anything chat

to check it out. My new song is called Ben's
Way before it is out now uh and I look
forward to seeing you on the road very soon. I
