Olivia Rodrigo is getting ready to release another new track from her highly anticipated third studio album.

The Grammy-winning singer announced that her next single, The Cure, will be released on May 22. Rodrigo shared the news on social media and described the song as “my favourite song” from her upcoming album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love.

The Cure will be the second single from the album, following Drop Dead, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 after its release in April. Rodrigo’s third album is scheduled to arrive on June 12 via Geffen Records.

Rodrigo has hinted that the new song may have connections to the legendary band The Cure, whose music was referenced in the lyrics of “Drop Dead.” Fans have speculated that the title is both a nod to the band and a thematic continuation of the romantic storytelling on her upcoming record.

The singer recently described You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love as an album filled with “sad love songs,” exploring the excitement and uncertainty that come with falling deeply in love.

With Drop Dead already topping the charts and anticipation building for The Cure, Rodrigo’s new era continues to generate major buzz ahead of the album’s release and her upcoming Unraveled Tour.
