Olivia Rodrigo fans just got their first sip of the pop star’s highly anticipated new album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love.

Rodrigo shared a snippet of her upcoming project’s lead single, “Drop Dead,” on Instagram Thursday (April 9). She didn’t offer any vocals in the clip — except for a breath she takes right before the track cuts off — but the portion of the song on display features a mix of fluttery, percussive synths, which play over a clip of the Grammy winner sitting at a pub.


“I hope you never finish that beer,” reads pink text over the video.

Rodrigo’s face is out of frame, but on her coat, a button reading the phrase “super sweet” is visible. On the table in front of her are three glasses of Guinness, one of which she takes a drink from after a laugh.

“Drop Dead” is slated to arrive on April 17, as recently revealed by the hitmaker. It will lead the way for You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love to arrive in June, marking Rodrigo’s third studio album and her first since 2023’s Guts topped the Billboard 200.

She’s been open about how the LP — true to its title — is full of love songs that are also sad by nature. “I realized all my favorite romantic love songs were beautiful because they had a tinge of fear or yearning in them,” she explained to British Vogue in March. “Falling in love, [I thought] 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.”

Rodrigo was most recently linked to British actor Louis Partridge, of whom she’s shared a number of photos with in pubs drinking a Guinness. Partridge also starred in Netflix’s House of Guinness last year.
