JAKARTA – Olivia Rodrigo officially marked her comeback to the world music scene by releasing a new single titled “Drop Dead”.
The launch of this song was accompanied by a cinematic music video that took the grandeur of the Versailles Palace in France as a visual treat that emphasized its aesthetic transition to the third studio album, “You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love”.
In the music video directed by his longtime collaborator, Petra Collins, Rodrigo appears to be walking down the historic halls of Versailles. The atmosphere changes drastically when he carries a pink guitar and performs the song with a strong rock energy.
Meanwhile, the lyrics that tell the story of a woman’s intuition and a digital obsession with her lover, which reads: “One night I got bored in bed and stalked you on the internet / This is a feminine intuition because I always had a vision of us standing like this / Hugging each other in the bathroom line / You look like an angel on the Versailles wall.”
The latest album is scheduled to be released on June 12 via the Geffen Records label. For this project, Rodrigo again teamed up with Dan Nigro, the genius producer behind the success of the albums “Sour” and “Guts”.
Although details about the entire album are still a secret, Rodrigo has shared various hidden codes since last March, ranging from color changes on the official website to the appearance of a mysterious mural in Los Angeles and a padlock with the word “April” in London.
Regarding the album, Rodrigo admitted that there was a shift in the way of looking at the songwriting process.
He tried to get out of the comfort zone of sad songs that have been his identity.
“Writing from a happy point of view is a creative challenge. When you feel connected to someone or feel really good, you are no longer stuck in your mind to think about bitter poems,” Rodrigo said, quoting British Vogue via Variety, Sunday, April 19.
As part of the album’s promotion, Olivia Rodrigo is scheduled to appear as a host and musical guest on the comedy sketch Saturday Night Live (SNL) on May 2.
This will be his debut as a host after previously successfully appearing as a host in 2021 and 2023.
With a blend of classic Versailles aesthetics and a powerful pop-rock arrangement, “Drop Dead” is a strong opener for Rodrigo’s ambitions to dominate the global charts this year.
