Olivia Rodrigo is back with new music.
The singer and actress, 23, released a single and music video for “The Cure” on Friday.
“The Cure” video casts Rodrigo as a nurse trying to find the cure to a broken heart. In the lyrics, she sings about a partner’s love not being enough to overcome her own insecurities and self-doubts.
“And my head is full of poison / And my heart is full of doubt / I got toxins in my bloodstream / You tried hard to suck ’em out / And it feels like medication / And it’s good for me, I’m sure / But it don’t matter how your love feels anymore / It will never be the cure,” she sings.
“this song means so much to me and I’m so so so happy that it’s out in the world,” Rodrigo wrote on Instagram.
“this song is the thesis statement of you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love and it made the whole album click for me. I hope you enjoy it xoxoxox,” she added.
