Olivia Rodrigo has dropped her brand new song “The Cure,” which is featured on her upcoming third studio album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love.

What’s the meaning of “The Cure” song by Olivia Rodrigo?
Olivia opened up about the meaning behind the song in a tweet announcing its release.
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.
Olivia told iHeartRadio, “‘The Cure’ is my favorite song on the album. It’s kind of like the climax of the record. It’s just sort of about how, when you’re younger, you think falling in love with someone will fix all of your problems. And then I think when you face love in reality, you realize that that’s not the truth. So this is just me coming to terms with things that I wanted to be fixed about myself or things that I thought that love would solve. And lo and behold, it didn’t. So I wrote a song about it.”
What are the lyrics for Olivia Rodrigo’s song “The Cure”?
Olivia sings in the chorus of the song, “I thought I’d found the antidote with you / But my head is full of poison, and my heart is full of doubt / I got toxins in my bloodstream and 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’ll never be the cure.”
You can catch Olivia performing her new music on tour later this year, but sadly for fans without tickets, the whole tour is already sold out.
