  • Olivia Rodrigo dropped the full tracklist for her third album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, on May 26
  • The album is split into two sides: “Girl So in Love” (7 tracks) and “You Seem Pretty Sad” (6 tracks)
  • Song titles include “Maggots for Brains,” “Purple,” “What’s Wrong With Me,” and “Cigarette”
  • Previously released singles “Drop Dead” and “The Cure” appear on the tracklist
  • The album arrives June 12 via Geffen Records

Olivia Rodrigo has a song called “Maggots for Brains” on her next album and honestly, after GUTS, nothing should surprise us anymore.

On Tuesday, the 22-year-old posted the full tracklist for You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love to Instagram — all 13 tracks, displayed in pink embroidered lettering against a photo of Rodrigo looking pensive by a park swing at night. Very on-brand.

The album is divided into two sides, like a vinyl LP or cassette: “Girl So in Love” carries seven tracks, and “You Seem Pretty Sad” closes with six. Whether that structural split reflects a mood arc, a narrative, or just a vibe will become clear when the record actually arrives on June 12 via Geffen Records.

The Track List

Beyond the already-released “Drop Dead” and “The Cure,” the album includes titles like “Purple,” “What’s Wrong With Me,” “Cigarette,” and “Maggots for Brains” — which is a sentence that required a moment of pause to type.

“The Cure,” which Rodrigo called her “favourite on the album” and “one of my favourite songs I’ve ever made,” came out recently alongside a music video set in a cardboard hospital where she hunts for the antidote to heartbreak. Co-written with longtime collaborator Dan Nigro, it’s driven by acoustic guitar and digs into self-doubt and misplaced trust. “Drop Dead” was the lead single.

The Third Chapter

Sour made her a star. GUTS proved it wasn’t a fluke. Now, with a title as disarmingly contradictory as You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, Rodrigo appears to be leaning even further into the duality she’s always written best: the happiness that comes with a catch, the heartbreak with a wink.

Thirteen tracks. June 12. And at least one song whose name no one saw coming.
