Rodrigo is known for her role as Nini on Disney+ series High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, and revealed to USA Today in an interview that she wrote a song for her character.

"Lots of times I have that experience with songwriting just like Nini, where you're trying to make something, trying to write about something that you're not actually feeling," The actress dished on her song writing process. "The second that you're like, "Oh, let me just write about my real life," it becomes so much easier. It becomes therapeutic and the song becomes more meaningful. I've had that experience in my life and in my songwriting so it was cool to portray that on TV."
