Olivia Rodrigo announces new album "you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love", out in June

Olivia Rodrigo announces her return with her third studio album, "you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love", out worldwide on June 12.

The album once again comes from her collaboration with producer Daniel Nigro, who was already at Rodrigo's side on her previous works "SOUR" (certified double platinum in Italy) and "GUTS" (platinum). The announcement was preceded by a simple yet effective visual campaign: a wall painted purple in downtown Los Angeles, then turned pink within a few days, which immediately caught fans' attention and sparked the first theories about the new project.

Rodrigo's return ranks among the most anticipated events of the year. Having surpassed 36 million copies sold worldwide, won three Grammy Awards and cemented a dominant presence on streaming platforms, the singer-songwriter now faces a major test.

In just a few years, Olivia Rodrigo has built a top-tier commercial and critical profile: 14 Grammy nominations, including nods in the major categories for "SOUR" and "GUTS", and three Grammy wins for Best New Artist, Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Pop Solo Performance. On top of that come cross-genre honors – from the American Music Awards to Billboard Women in Music, as well as ASCAP and Variety Hitmakers – plus international awards such as the Billboard Awards, BRIT, Juno and NME.

On the live front, her track record has been just as solid: from her first global tour in 2022, which sold out in 40 cities across North America and Europe, to the "GUTS World Tour", which wrapped in summer 2025 after more than 100 dates and over 60 cities in 21 countries. A run that earned her Billboard's Touring Artist of the Year title.

"SOUR" marked a record-breaking debut, opening at number one on the Billboard 200 and maintaining a lengthy stay in the top 10, while also topping the charts in numerous international markets. "GUTS", called "an instant classic" by Rolling Stone, matched that commercial impact: a straight-to-number-one debut on the Billboard 200, with the single "vampire" simultaneously topping the Hot 100 and Rodrigo topping the Artist 100, completing a rare triple crown. She is also the youngest artist in Hot 100 history to debut with three number-one songs ("vampire", "drivers license", "good 4 u"), while every other track on the album reached the top 40.

This new chapter therefore arrives at a moment of full commercial and creative maturity for the American pop star, fresh off her collaboration with Robert Smith of the Cure, with expectations running high on both the artistic and commercial fronts.
