Meanwhile, the Cure had headlined the previous night, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/stereogum.com\/2501608\/the-cure-break-out-live-rarities-at-primavera-sound-2026\/news\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">breaking out rarities<\/a> for the occasion. Onstage, Rodrigo said about the song, &#8220;It&#8217;s really really special to me for so many reasons but primarily because it&#8217;s my first song that I&#8217;ve ever done a feature on which is really exciting. It&#8217;s my first collaboration and I&#8217;m so proud of it and I can&#8217;t believe that this song exists with the person that it exists with and I&#8217;m just so fuckin&#8217; over the moon.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Afterward, on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DZRIT4uEUja\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a>, she added, &#8220;what\u2019s wrong with me featuring Robert Smith will be out June 12 with the album. I am still in disbelief that Robert who is in my eyes one of the most brilliant, legendary, wonderful people to ever exist is on this record with me. I had the most memorable evening singing it with him at primavera tonight and I cannot wait for this song and record to be yours. 5 days holy shit!!!!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I think it&#8217;s safe to say Rodrigo prefers the Cure over the Smiths (can any pop star try to pull this with Morrissey? Sabrina Carpenter?). &#8220;what&#8217;s wrong with me&#8221; is very &#8217;80s-inspired \u2014 forlorn and dreamy in that &#8220;Pictures Of You&#8221; kind of way \u2014 and Robert Smith&#8217;s voice fits right in. Their harmonies, though, are uniquely beautiful.
