Olivia Rodrigo single drops

Olivia Rodrigo released “drop dead” on April 17, opening the next phase of her third album rollout less than two months before its June 12 release. (youtube.com) The song is the lead single from *You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love*, Rodrigo’s first full studio album since *GUTS* in 2023. Her official store lists the album release date as June 12, 2026. (store.oliviarodrigo.com) Rodrigo paired the single with a Petra Collins-directed video shot at the Palace of Versailles, and the official upload appeared on YouTube six days before April 23. The store also rolled out single merch including a CD, cassette and a “chewing gum” 7-inch vinyl. (youtube.com) (store.oliviarodrigo.com) The release starts a new album cycle after Rodrigo spent much of 2024 and 2025 extending the *GUTS* era with touring and deluxe material. Complex reported on April 2 that the new album would arrive on June 12, with Rodrigo saying she wanted to write from a place of “joy” after albums defined by angst and heartbreak. (complex.com) “Drop dead” also landed in a crowded Friday release slate. ABC News said the single arrived after Rodrigo teased the track on Instagram, while music coverage that day also turned to new releases from artists including Jason Aldean, Foo Fighters, Meghan Trainor and Ringo Starr. (abcnews.com) (complex.com) The song’s first-week conversation moved quickly from streaming to live performance. Complex reported that Rodrigo joined Addison Rae during Coachella’s second weekend to perform “drop dead” as a surprise debut. (complex.com) Retail listings suggest the label is treating the single as a collectible as well as a streaming release. Rodrigo’s store listed the CD single at $5 and said it ships April 24, while the product page shows a two-track release with a karaoke version.
