Can you feel that? There’s new Olivia Rodrigo music around the corner, and the excitement is palpable. To support her upcoming third studio album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love (out June 12), Rodrigo will release the first single, titled “Drop Dead,” on April 17, and she’s been teasing the track with a series of cryptic videos on her social media.
In the first set of clips, the pop singer is seen fastening padlocks to a series of fences across the world, in cities like Los Angeles, London, Paris, and New York, teasing the track with more mysterious messaging. However, Rodrigo’s latest post is far less subtle.
Yesterday afternoon, the Grammy winner shared a new video that gives fans a first taste of “Drop Dead”—a pulsing, synth-heavy track that strays from the more rock-leaning music of her past.
The snippet soundtracked a video that sees Rodrigo sitting in a pub, presumably with a couple of friends, while three pints of Guinness sit on the table in front of her. Over the video, she wrote a line that appears to be a lyric from her upcoming song—“I hope you never finish that beer”—and she simply captioned her post: “Cheers 🍻.”
Fans of ORod were quick to point out that the singer-songwriter appeared to be making a nod to her most recent ex-boyfriend, Louis Partridge, whom she has shared many a photo of drinking a pint of Guinness in the past, Oh, and he just so happens to star in the historical Netflix drama titled House of Guinness, too.
Some reports have suggested that Rodrigo was originally recording an album of love songs, until she and Partridge called it quits late last year.
In her British Vogue cover story in March, Rodrigo described the music on her third studio album as “sad love songs.” She said: “I realized all my favorite romantic love songs were beautiful because they had a tinge of fear or yearning in them.” Just imagine all the fan theories that will materialize when “Drop Dead” comes out next Friday.
