\n\tIf fans have gotten sick with anticipation for new Olivia Rodrigo<\/a> music, the pop star now has the cure. Ahead of new album You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love<\/em>, Rodrigo announced Tuesday (May 19) that its second single, \u201cThe Cure,\u201d is on its way.<\/p>\n \n\tSharing a photo on Instagram of what appears to be the song\u2019s artwork \u2014 a photo of Rodrigo (the top of her head cut off) in a pink top, her hands tangled in a knot of red cat\u2019s cradle string that spells out the single\u2019s title \u2014 the Grammy winner wrote that \u201cThe Cure\u201d is her \u201cfavorite song on the album and one of my favorite songs I\u2019ve ever made.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\u201ccouldn\u2019t be more excited for you guys to hear it,\u201d Rodrigo added in her caption, noting that the track will drop on Friday (May 22), which, coincidentally, is World Goth Day.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cThe Cure\u201d is possibly a nod to the Robert Smith-led iconic goth rock band of the same name, which Rodrigo has said is one of her favorite groups. The feeling is mutual, as Smith has previously praised the High School Musical: The Musical: The Series <\/em>singer and made a cameo<\/a> at her Glastonbury set last year.<\/p>\n \n\tRodrigo also references The Cure on You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love<\/em>\u2018s lead single, \u201cDrop Dead,\u201d which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100<\/a>. \u201cYou know all the words to \u2018Just Like Heaven,’\u201d she sings, nodding to the band\u2019s 1987 track of the same name that reached No. 40 on the Hot 100. \u201cAnd I know why he wrote them\/ Now that you\u2019re standing right here.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tYou Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love<\/em> is set to drop on June 12.
