Olivia Rodrigo reveals album lyric change after Louis Partridge split

  • Olivia Rodrigo made a change to her forthcoming album, You Look Pretty Sad for a Girl in Love , following her split from English actor Louis Partridge.
  • She told the BBC that she revisited the lyrics of her new song “What's Wrong With Me”, a collaboration with The Cure 's Robert Smith , post break-up, after realising the relationship was the source of her upset.
  • Rodrigo also said she tweaked the lyrics to another track, “Purple”, transforming it from a “sweet and saccharine” love song into one that’s “the part of the album where things start to sour and unravel.”
  • The album, set for release on 12 June, was described by Rodrigo to the BBC as “a time capsule of a relationship in a few years of my life.”
  • Rodrigo and Partridge dated from October 2023 to December last year.
