Los Angeles, April 8 – Singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo is set to release her first single from her third album, “Drop Dead”, on April 17, 2026. The singer made the announcement on her Instagram, alongside a photo of herself blowing bubbles with gum, with the name of the single embroidered on her shirt.
Last week, Rodrigo announced that her third full-length album, “You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love”, will be released on June 12, according to ‘Variety’.
She recorded the album alongside producer Dan Nigro, whom she worked with on her first two albums, “Sour” and “Guts”.
According to ‘Variety’, little information has been released about the album itself. Rodrigo teased its themes in a British Vogue cover story last month, saying it is full of “sad love songs”.
She said, “It was a creative challenge to write from a joyful place. When you’re experiencing that connection, or feeling really good, you’re not caught up in your own thoughts about bittersweet poems”.
Earlier, the singer had expressed her desire to “semi-relocate” to the UK. The 23-year-old singer-songwriter lives in Los Angeles, but her heart is in Great Britain. She also revealed that she had “some first kisses” at Chiltern Firehouse, a five-star hotel in Marylebone, London, according to ‘Female First UK’.
She told ‘British Vogue’ magazine, “I just think British people are just cool; they don’t want to bother you. I love everything about England, English culture, and English people. I want to semi-relocate here one day”.
When asked about her favorite spots in the British capital, the actress-singer shared, “I really like going to The Fat Badger. It’s so fun, especially since Chiltern (Firehouse) burned down. I’ve had some first kisses at Chiltern, for sure”.
Olivia spent a lot of time in London while working on her third studio album, OR3. She said, “I’ve found a lot of inspiration from being in London. I’ve spent so much time here while making this album. It has a lot of songs that are ‘London vibes’, about experiences that I’ve had here”. The new album sees Olivia “bare her soul in songwriting”, and she hopes it “shows a different side of me”.
