Got heartache? Olivia Rodrigo might have the answer. Before the release of her upcoming album You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, the pop artist is set to take over iHeartRadio with her own dating advice program, responding live on air to listener questions about relationships.
The company confirmed the announcement on Tuesday (June 9), saying the hour-long special will be titled “u+me=advice forever,” which references one of the tracks from You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love. The program is scheduled to air on the digital station Hit Nation at 9 p.m. ET on Thursday (June 11), just one day before the album release.
Alongside giving guidance on fan-submitted love dilemmas, which listeners can submit in advance through iHeartRadio’s talkback feature, Olivia Rodrigo will also preview unreleased songs from her third studio album during the broadcast.
Following her Billboard 200 chart topping albums Sour and Guts, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love includes 13 tracks in total. So far, fans have officially heard only the lead single “Drop Dead,” which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, along with “The Cure,” plus a live performance of “Begged” on Saturday Night Live and a surprise debut of “What’s Wrong With Me” performed with Robert Smith at Primavera Sound on Sunday (June 7).
In other radio related news, the Grammy winning artist also recently appeared on BBC Radio 1, where she told host Greg James that “Stupid Song” from the upcoming album will receive a music video. She also discussed how she enjoys connecting other artists’ love songs to her own life rather than speculating about the songwriter’s personal experiences.
“I love transposing it into my own life,” she said. “Obviously, if the song is more meaningful to someone if they project my life into it, then I’ll be it, that’s totally fine.”
