Olivia Rodrigo has officially unveiled her third album, titled *you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love*. This album features the new duet “what’s wrong with me,” created in collaboration with Robert Smith from The Cure.
About the Duet: “what’s wrong with me”
The track “what’s wrong with me” exhibits a warmer, moodier sound. In this song, Rodrigo reflects on how her romantic relationship is affecting her mental health. Despite feeling physically fine, she expresses a deep emotional struggle. The poignant chorus reveals her feelings: “I can’t eat, I can’t sleep/I think you’re what’s wrong with me.”
Collaboration and Friendship
This duet marks Rodrigo’s first original collaboration, separate from her previous projects for TV or film. The partnership with Smith is significant, given their developing friendship over the past few years. Smith made a memorable appearance during Rodrigo’s set at Glastonbury in 2025. Additionally, his song “Just Like Heaven” is referenced in the lead single from Rodrigo’s album, titled “drop dead.”
Smith joins Rodrigo in the second verse of “what’s wrong with me,” mirroring her concerns: “Head just keeps on pounding with/ The simple thought/ What if this isn’t what I want?” Their harmonies in the final chorus offer a moving resolution to the song.
