On her website, a number of various vinyls, CDs and cassettes of the album are available to purchase, as well as signed copies featuring a photo of Rodrigo frolicking through a grassy field at night while wearing a sheer pink dress.

Rodrigo last dropped an album in 2023, topping the Billboard 200 with Guts. The album spawned Billboard Hot 100-topping lead single “Vampire” and served as the basis for the artist’s Guts World Tour. The majority of the trek ran from February through October 2024, with Rodrigo also playing shows throughout the first half of 2025.

Before Guts came Sour, the debut album that launched Rodrigo into superstar status. The project also topped the Billboard 200 and spawned a number of Hot 100 hits, including No. 1s “Drivers License” and “Good 4 U.”

The High School Musical: The Musical: The Series alum has been teasing OR3 for some time, revealing some of the juiciest details in a British Vogue cover story. She told the publication at the time of the interview that the LP is full of “sad love songs” based on her realization that all of her “favorite romantic love songs were beautiful because they had a tinge of fear or yearning in them.”

“[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,” added Rodrigo, who was most recently linked to actor Louis Partridge, at the time. “But it just doesn’t work like that.”
