Olivia Rodrigo took to the stage on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
The singer-songwriter, 23, performed her song “The Cure” on Wednesday’s episode of the ABC late-night talk show.
Rodrigo wore a white dress and adorned her microphone with long red ropes reminiscent of the red threads featured in the “Cure” music video.
“The Cure” appears on Rodrigo’s album You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, set for release Friday.
In the interview, Rodrigo discussed how she and her longtime producer Dan Nigro came up with the title for her new album.
“It was just something that my producer Dan said to me,” Rodrigo recalled. “We were having a conversation about life and he’s like, ‘You seem pretty sad for a girl so in love.’ And when he said it, we were both like, ‘That’s it. That’s the title. We’ve been searching for for so long.'”
The singer added, “the record is about being in love, but in sort of a nuanced way, and it definitely has its highs and lows.”
You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love also features the single “Drop Dead.” Rodrigo released the song and a music video filmed at the Palace of Versailles in April.
