Olivia Rodrigo to Host Live Radio Dating Show and Preview Unreleased Tracks

If you’re nursing a broken heart, Olivia Rodrigo might have the perfect remedy. Ahead of her highly anticipated third studio album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, the pop sensation is stepping into the role of a radio agony aunt. She is set to host an exclusive iHeartRadio special where she’ll offer heartfelt relationship guidance and field burning questions from fans in real-time.

The broadcast, titled “u+me=advice forever”—a charming nod to a track on her upcoming record—was officially announced this Tuesday (June 9). Fans can tune in to the hour-long session on the digital station Hit Nation at 9 p.m. ET this Thursday (June 11), just one day before the album officially arrives.

Beyond providing a listening ear for fan-submitted dilemmas—collected via iHeartRadio’s talkback feature—Rodrigo plans to treat her audience to exclusive previews of unreleased tracks from the upcoming project.

Following the massive success of her chart-topping albums Sour and Guts, the 13-track You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love has already built significant momentum. Listeners have been captivated by the lead single “Drop Dead”—which soared to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100—alongside “The Cure.” The project has also teased live moments like her powerhouse Saturday Night Live performance of “Begged” and a surprise collaboration with Robert Smith of The Cure during her Primavera Sound set on June 7.

In a recent candid appearance on BBC Radio 1, Rodrigo discussed the evolution of her craft with host Greg James. She revealed that a music video for the album track “Stupid Song” is currently in the works. She also reflected on her philosophy regarding music consumption, noting that she prefers listeners find their own personal narratives within her lyrics rather than fixating on her private life.

“I love when people transpose their own experiences onto my music,” she shared. “If a song resonates more deeply because someone projects their life into it, that is absolutely wonderful.”
