Olivia Rodrigo fans might drop dead over the news that the pop star has finally revealed the tracklist to her upcoming third studio album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, featuring some eye-catching song titles.

Rodrigo posted a photo on Instagram on Tuesday (May 26), showing the names of all 13 songs on her next LP. To the left of an image of the singer looking downcast next to a park swing at nighttime, the song titles are displayed in pink lettering that looks like embroidery.


All of the songs are sorted into two sections: “Girl So in Love” and “You Seem Pretty Sad,” which split the title of the album in half. Lead single “Drop Dead” — which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 — is in the first category, along with tracks called “Stupid Song,” “Honeybee,” “Maggots for Brains,” “U + Me = <3,” “My Way” and “Purple.”

Under the “You Seem Pretty Sad” subhead are previously released single “The Cure” and “Begged” — which Rodrigo performed on Saturday Night Live earlier in May — as well as “What’s Wrong With Me,” “Less,” “Expectations” and “Cigarette Smoke.”

“only 3 weeks till the album is yours!!!” the Grammy winner wrote in the caption. “i can’t wait for you guys to hear these songs.”

You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love is set to drop on June 12, following up 2023’s Guts and 2021’s Sour. Both of Rodrigo’s previous two albums debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

Her third full-length will be marked by “sad love songs,” with the star explaining to British Vogue in April, “I realized all my favorite romantic love songs were beautiful because they had a tinge of fear or yearning in them.”

“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,” she added at the time. “But it just doesn’t work like that.”

Blavatnik will oversee Warner Music Canada as managing director of Warner Music North America, U.K. and Corporate Development at WMG. As part of a slew of executive announcements, Simon Robson will be leaving the company, while Alejandro Duque takes the top international role.

Val Blavatnik, the 28-year-old son of Warner Music Group majority owner and vice chairman Len Blavatnik, has been named managing director of Warner Music North America, U.K. and Corporate Development at the Warner Music Group, the company announced Friday (Sept. 25). In his new role the younger Blavatnik, who has held several roles at the company in recent years, and has been a board member since 2023, expects to “unify and drive business and operational strategy across these markets while guiding the company’s investment strategy to support growth,” according to a press release.

The Blavatnik announcement is part of a flurry of new executive announcements that CEO Robert Kyncl made this morning. In addition, Atlantic Music Group chairman/CEO Elliot Grainge will take on ADA in the U.S. as its new chairman, while Alejandro Duque, who has held the dual roles of president of Warner Latin and president of ADA since last July, has been named president of Warner Music International, adding Asia-Pacific and Europe, the Middle East and Africa under his oversight. (Duque will continue to oversee ADA outside the U.S.) Zach Friedman, currently COO at Atlantic Music Group, will add the title of vice chair of ADA U.S. to his resume.
