you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love
Olivia Rodrigo's third album landed on June 12, 2026, and it does exactly what the title promises: two halves of the same relationship, one drenched in joy, the other in wreckage. Side one, "Girl So in Love," opens with euphoria. Side two, "You Seem Pretty Sad," is where the cracks show. Thirteen tracks, produced again with Dan Nigro, and for the first time a guest: Robert Smith of The Cure appears on the closing track "What's Wrong with Me." Rolling Stone called it her "giddiest" work. Variety said she is "a perfectly expert crafter of silly love songs." Both are right.

Side one: "Girl So in Love"
June 12, 2026

:QUOTE [quotetype:plain, subtitle:Olivia Rodrigo]
I realized all my favorite romantic love songs were beautiful because they had a tinge of fear or yearning in them.


:INFO
The Two Sides
The album is split into two distinct acts. Side one, "Girl So in Love," follows the early rush of a relationship with tracks like "Drop Dead," "Maggots for Brains," "Honeybee," "U + Me = heart," and the bouncy "Stupid Song." Side two, "You Seem Pretty Sad," is the unwinding. Tracks like "What's Wrong with Me" (featuring Robert Smith), "Cigarette Smoke," and "The Cure" trace a love story falling apart. Rodrigo previewed the unreleased track "Begged" during her Saturday Night Live hosting debut on May 2, seated on a swing that mirrored the album cover.
