Multi-Platinum-selling three-time GRAMMY®-winner Olivia Rodrigo shares her exhilarating new single “bad idea right?” and its accompanying video.
The follow-up to “vampire” — a June release that debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and marked her biggest debut of all time on multiple platforms — “bad idea right?” is the second single from Rodrigo’s forthcoming sophomore album GUTS, due out via Geffen Records/Universal Music Canada on September 8.
In a dramatic shift from the piano-driven intensity of “vampire” — “bad idea right?” arrives as a frenetic and wildly fun look at getting back with an ex against all better judgment. Rodrigo says:
‘bad idea right?’ started with us making a joke song about me hooking up with an ex-boyfriend, but then we realized we were actually onto something.
We were throwing the weirdest things at the wall — in one of choruses there’s a part that sounds like an instrument in the background, but it’s me gradually screaming louder and louder.
