Livies, we are so back: Olivia Rodrigo has officially announced her upcoming album. The “Driver’s License” singer-songwriter unveiled the artwork and release date for her third studio album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, out in June.
“My third album ‘you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love’ is out June 12th,” reads Rodrigo’s Instagram caption. “I am so proud of this record and I can’t wait for you to hear it. Available for preorder now! 🩷”
Rodrigo shared more details in a handwritten note for her newsletter subscribers, which reads, “No matter how hard I try to write love songs they always come out laced with a little melancholy.”
The Grammy winner’s official announcement on Thursday was accompanied by the album cover for her forthcoming release. The artwork shows Rodrigo, in a baby-pink minidress and black patent Mary Janes, gleefully smiling as she swings in the air. Given what she recently told British Vogue, Rodrigo’s album cover outfit, which was curated by sister stylists Chloe and Chenelle Delgadillo, appears to signal a distinct fashion era as well: “My Pinterest is all babydoll dresses and ’70s necklines. I want it all to feel fun and laid-back.”
For Livies, the affectionate name given to Rodrigo’s fandom, the album announcement comes as no surprise. Rodrigo hinted as much, anyway: from unveiling a purple turned pink wall in Los Angeles with the word “love” on it — which has since been repainted to reflect the album’s full title — to totally scrubbing her Instagram feed to sharing a cryptic hotline message alluding to this year’s pink moon. A new era was very much on the way — and it was only a matter of time before Rodrigo confirmed it herself.
The 23-year-old hitmaker has released two prior albums, both titled with four letters. Her debut album, Sour, came out in 2021, while her sophomore effort, Guts, was released in 2023. For a while, fans believed Rodrigo would follow the same format for this album, which is why many assumed the album would be titled Love, though Luck was also a frontrunner within the fandom.
For British Vogue’s April cover story, Rodrigo dished on the album and confirmed that it’d be comprised of “sad love songs” and that “it was a creative challenge to write from a joyful place.”
“I realized all my favorite romantic love songs were beautiful because they had a tinge of fear or yearning in them,” she said, before drawing parallels between her insecurities and the uncertainty of falling in love. “I felt a similar way about falling in love, that the second I’m in a really great relationship, I’m gonna start feeling good about myself and this stuff is going to fall into place, but it just doesn’t work like that.”
Speculation surrounding the theme of Rodrigo’s upcoming album has also been a major topic of discussion within the fandom. While the exact subjects of her album haven’t been confirmed, fans believe some of the songs may be about British actor Louis Partridge, whom Rodrigo dated for about 2 years until their alleged split in December 2025. What we do know, though? This 13-track album will show a different side of Rodrigo.
“Hopefully, by the time I put out my next album, it’ll feel more mature and like a different take on things,” she told the U.K.’s Daily Star in 2025. “I think that’s what’s so fun about writing songs, is you get to keep pushing yourself and learning and growing and expanding.”
