Background
On September 8, 2023, Olivia Rodrigo released her second studio album, Guts, to critical and commercial success.[1] Produced by longtime collaborator Dan Nigro, the sonically diverse record was inspired by the period of time immediately following the release of her debut album, Sour (2021).[2] It received six nominations at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards and was supported by the Guts World Tour (2024–2025).
In March 2026, Rodrigo began teasing the thematic direction of her third album in an interview with British Vogue.[3] She indicated the album would predominantly feature "sad love songs", explaining that many of her favorite romantic tracks derive their appeal from an undercurrent of fear or longing.[4][5][6] On April 2, 2026, the album's title was unveiled after being painted on a pink wall in Los Angeles and hinted with its final word in several cities.
Marking a stylistic departure from the pop-rock sound of Sour and Guts,[7] You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love continues Rodrigo's collaboration with Nigro, who returns as the album's producer.[8] The album takes inspiration from Rodrigo's time in London, and she stated it would be her "most experimental" yet. One track on the album is said to reference the relationship of Sex and the City characters Miranda Hobbes and Steve Brady.[3]
Release and promotion
The album's track list was revealed on May 26. Stylistically the track list has been divided into two parts: "You seem pretty sad" and "Girl so in love".[9] Preorders for a Target-exclusive vinyl editions started the day that she announced the album. The shoppers could choose from a "Pretty Sad" pink colour vinyl and a "Hope like snow" white colour vinyl.[10]
Singles
On April 7, 2026, Rodrigo announced the album's lead single, "Drop Dead", which was released on April 17.[11] It had a music video that was primarily shot at the Palace of Versailles and directed by Petra Collins. [12] It debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, extending her record as the first artist to debut the lead singles from their first three albums at the summit.[13]
On May 19, "The Cure" was announced as the second single and was released on May 22.[14] It reached number one in Australia[15], Ireland, and Singapore.[16] It also reached number 5 in the US.[17]
Marketing
On April 18, she appeared as a surprise guest on Addison Rae's set at Coachella 2026 and debuted Drop Dead live.[18] Rodrigo premiered a new song from the album, "Begged", during her appearance on Saturday Night Live on May 2, 2026.[19] On June 6, she performed a set at Primavera Sound with only a few hours notice, playing a new song from the album, "What's Wrong with Me", with Robert Smith of The Cure. The song marks Rodrigo's first career collaboration for an original song.[20][21]

On April 30, Rodrigo announced her third concert tour, the Unraveled Tour, in support of the album. Consisting of 86 dates across North America and Europe, the tour will begin on September 25, 2026, in Hartford, and conclude on May 10, 2027, in London.
