Olivia Rodrigo’s new single

Olivia Rodrigo released “drop dead” on Friday, April 17, with an official music video and the first single from her next album. (youtube.com) Billboard reported Friday that “drop dead” is the lead single from *You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love*, a 13-track album due in June. Olivia Rodrigo’s official store lists preorders for the album in vinyl, cassette, compact disc, and digital formats. (billboard.com) (store.oliviarodrigo.com) Spotify lists “drop dead” as a 2026 Olivia Rodrigo release, and Apple Music posted both the official video and a lyric video on Friday. The YouTube upload had passed 1.3 million views within hours and was trending at No. 4 on the platform’s music chart when it was crawled. (open.spotify.com) (music.apple.com 1) (music.apple.com 2) (youtube.com) The release opens Rodrigo’s first full album campaign since *GUTS*, which topped the Billboard 200 in 2023. Billboard said the new record is her first full-length since that album. (billboard.com) Apple Music also published a Zane Lowe interview with Rodrigo on April 17 tied directly to the song’s release. That kind of same-day rollout — single, video, interview, and merch — shows a coordinated start to the new album cycle. (music.apple.com) (store.oliviarodrigo.com) Rodrigo told British *Vogue*, as quoted by Billboard, that the album is built around “sad love songs” and the gap between being in love and feeling secure about yourself. Rolling Stone described “drop dead” as the lead single from that project on Friday. (billboard.com) (rollingstone.com) For now, “drop dead” is doing the job a lead single is supposed to do: put Rodrigo back on streaming services, video charts, and album preorder pages all at once.
