You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love continues Olivia Rodrigo's partnership with Dan Nigro, who produced the album and co-wrote across its tracks while also handling engineering and mixing duties. Structured as a concept album in two halves, 'Girl So in Love' and 'You Seem Pretty Sad,' it marks the first Rodrigo studio album to include a guest vocalist, with Robert Smith of The Cure appearing on 'What's Wrong with Me.' This is the first time another artist has featured on an original Rodrigo studio recording.

You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love is Olivia Rodrigo's third studio album, released on June 12, 2026 through Geffen Records. The album is divided into two thematic halves: 'Girl So in Love' (tracks 1-7) and 'You Seem Pretty Sad' (tracks 8-13). Rodrigo described it as her 'most experimental' work, drawing inspiration from time spent in London, with a stylistic departure toward 'sad love songs.' Dan Nigro returns as primary producer. Track 10 'What's Wrong with Me' features guest vocals from Robert Smith of The Cure. Amy Allen, who co-wrote 'Pretty Isn't Pretty' on GUTS, returns as a co-writer on 'Drop Dead.'
