Olivia Rodrigo Unveils Drop Dead Music Video As She Launches New Album Era
Olivia Rodrigo has released the music video for her new single Drop Dead, the first offering from her much-hyped third album You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So in Love.
The video, directed by Petra Collins, sees the three-time Grammy winner dancing through the Palace Of Versailles in Paris in a frilly blue dress, running between the rooms before picking up her pink guitar and rocking out.
“You lookin’ like an angel on the walls of Versailles,” she sings on the track. “The most alive I’ve ever been.”
Watch the exciting clip for yourself below:
On Instagram, the chart-topping singer described Drop Dead as a “new chapter” in the story of her new album.
“It makes me wanna skip around and roll the windows down and make out!” she enthused. “I was lucky enough to film the music video at the Palace Of Versailles a few months ago with the wonderful Petra Collins and I’m so stoked with how it turned out.”
Although Olivia has never directly said who inspired the song, she told British Vogue recently that the “person that the song is about is great”.
The singer was in a relationship with House Of Guinness actor Louis Partridge between 2023 and 2025, so fans have theorised that the track is about him.
In the bridge of Drop Dead, she’s heard singing: “Pisces and a Gemini. But I think we might go really nice together. If you let me stay the night. Well, I think I might just have to stay forever.”
Olivia is a Pisces and Louis is a Gemini, further fuelling the speculation that he is the subject of the song – and, likely, more tracks from her upcoming album.
In the same British Vogue article, Olivia teased that her time with Louis – with whom she reportedly split in December 2025 – in London has inspired her new album.
She teased: “I’ve spent so much time here over the course of making this album. It has a lot of songs that are London vibes, about experiences that I’ve had here”
However, it looks like Olivia could have a new muse in her life, as she has recently been spotted out for dinner with Geese frontman Cameron Winter.
The duo were seen earlier this week going to dinner together after reportedly being introduced in November last year.
You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So in Love is scheduled for release on 12 June.
