Olivia Rodrigo has given a taste of her upcoming third album “You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love,” with the release of its first single “Drop Dead,” along with its music video.
In the clip, directed by Petra Collins, Rodrigo wanders through the Palace of Versailles, running from room to room before strapping on a pink guitar and rocking out, singing: “One night I was bored in bed and stalked you on the Internet / It’s feminine intuition because I always had a vision of us standing like this / All pressed up in the bathroom line / You’re looking like an angel on the walls of Versailles.”
Rodrigo is currently gearing up for the release of her new album “You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love,” which will be released on June 12 via Geffen Records. She recorded the album with producer Dan Nigro, who worked on her first two albums, “Sour” and “Guts.” Little is known about the album itself other than what she’s teased over the past month or so. For instance, fans noticed changes in the background color on her website and in her “OR” logo, an aesthetic that also appeared on a mural in Los Angeles and on a lock found in London with the word “April” inside.
Other than “Drop Dead,” little is known about the direction and sound of “You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love,” save for some comments she made in an interview with British Vogue last month. “It was a creative challenge to write from a joyful place,” she said. “When you’re experiencing that you’re connected to someone, or feeling really good, you’re not in your head thinking about bittersweet poems!”
Ahead of the release of her new album, Rodrigo will be pulling double duty as both host and musical guest of “Saturday Night Live” on May 2. She will be making her hosting debut, though she previously appeared on the show as a performer alongside host Keegan-Michael Key in 2021 and Adam Driver in 2023.
