Olivia Rodrigo Says Writing Happy Love Songs Shaped Her Third Album

The June 12 release draws on her first serious relationship to blend joy with jealousy.

Overview

  • Rodrigo told Audacy’s Check In that writing about happiness proved harder than writing about heartbreak for this record.
  • She said the creative goal was love songs that also face longing, jealousy, and missing a partner.
  • Rodrigo described the album as coming from her first “big girl” relationship without naming who it involves.
  • The album, titled You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, is scheduled for release on June 12.
  • Geo News reports the lead single Drop Dead is performing strongly on streaming platforms, following the chart-topping runs of Sour and Guts.
