Olivia Rodrigo wanted to explore “love from both sides of the coin” in her new music.
The Drop Dead hitmaker unveiled her third studio album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, on Friday.
Following the release, Olivia posted a letter to fans via Instagram.
“My third album You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love is out now!!!! I love this album so much and I am so thrilled that it’s finally yours,” she began. “The record is a time capsule of a relationship in all its highs and lows. It’s my attempt at capturing love from both sides of the coin. The hope and the disappointment. The insanity and the clarity. The entanglement and the unravelling.”
Olivia was most recently in a relationship with English actor Louis Partridge. They reportedly broke up in December 2025 while she was writing her new album.
In addition, the Good 4 U singer thanked her management and studio team for their ongoing support.
“I have so many people to thank for making this album a reality but I am most grateful to my producer Dan Nigro. He has been my musical confidant for five years now and I had the most wonderful time making all of these songs with him,” the 23-year-old continued.
And to conclude, Olivia gave a shout-out to her dedicated fans around the world.
“Most of all, thank you guys for listening. It sounds corny but I truly feel so lucky that I get to share in this journey with you all. The idea of someone listening to these songs and letting them into their world is the most wonderful thing I can think of. Here’s to hoping!” she declared.
Olivia dropped her debut album, Sour, in 2021, and the follow-up, Guts, two years later.
