  • Olivia Rodrigo's new single "Vampire" includes the memorable line "Bloodsucker, fame-fucker."

  • She recently shared a video on TikTok while recording the song's clean version.

  • Options for the lyric replacement include "fame-hunter," "whale blubber," "garlic butter," and "Mark Zucker."

Olivia Rodrigo shared a behind-the-scenes look at her creative process while recording the clean version of "Vampire."

The wrenching track, which starts as a piano ballad before transforming into a mini rock opera, includes a memorable lyric in the chorus about a particularly bad ex-boyfriend: "Bloodsucker, fame-fucker."

As seen in her latest TikTok video, Rodrigo and her producer Dan Nigro went to the studio to record a radio-friendly version of the single.

To replace the expletive, they tried a few straightforward options like "fame-lover" and "fame-hunter."

But the video also includes a few absurdist rhymes, including "tree-hugger," "whale blubber," "garlic butter," and "Mark Zucker" — aka Mark Zuckerberg, who gave the lyric his stamp of approval on Meta's new Twitter rival, Threads.

"Dream crusher it is," Rodrigo wrote in the video's caption.

The 20-year-old Grammy winner released "Vampire" and its self-referential music video on Friday. The song serves as the lead single for her sophomore album "Guts," out September 8.

"It felt like a really good progression forward," she told Rolling Stone. "I think it reflects the journey that I was going through and the anger that gets pent up in an experience like the one that the song's about."
