There’s no cure for the shock Olivia Rodrigo is experiencing over teaming up with one of her idols, Robert Smith, about whom she penned a heartfelt letter days ahead of their duet “What’s Wrong With Me” arriving alongside the pop star’s new album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love.
In a handwritten letter sent to fans on her email subscription service Monday (June 8), Rodrigo reflected on debuting the unreleased collaboration at Primavera Sound in Barcelona the night prior. “I’ve been insanely excited to tell you guys about this song & it’s been so hard to keep it a secret!” she gushed. “It’s the first feature I’ve ever done on an album and I actually cannot believe I got to do it with Robert Smith!”
