Album Details & Tracklist
Produced entirely by Dan Nigro, the 13-track LP is split into two sections: “Girl So in Love” and “You Seem Pretty Sad”.
Full tracklist:
The 13-track album You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love opens with “drop dead” and “stupid song”, before moving into “honeybee” and the biting “maggots for brains.” The middle stretch includes the romantic “u + me”, followed by “my way” and “purple.” Current single “the cure” leads into “begged” and the Robert Smith collaboration “what’s wrong with me.” The record closes with “less,” “expectations,” and the final track “cigarette smoke.”
Lead singles “Drop Dead” (April 17) and “The Cure” (May 22) are already charting.
“The Cure” debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 2 in the UK. She also debuted “what’s wrong with me” live with The Cure’s Robert Smith at Primavera Sound 2026.
Themes & Sound
Rodrigo told British Vogue the album is full of “sad love songs” written from a joyful place, exploring “fear or yearning” even in romance. She said her favorite love songs have “a tinge of fear or yearning in them”. The project reflects her first “big girl relationship” and marks a shift from the heartbreak of SOUR and GUTS.
