Olivia Rodrigo previewed “What’s Wrong With Me,” a song with The Cure ‘s Robert Smith from the second act of her highly anticipated new album You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love , live at Primavera Sound 2026. The unveil of their duet came just hours after Rodrigo made a surprise announcement she’d play live at the Barcelona, Spain, music festival Saturday night (June 6).

It marks the first time Rodrigo’s featured another artist on an album track. “II can’t believe this song exists with the person that it exists with. I’m just so f—ing over the moon,” Rodrigo said of song partner Smith when introducing “What’s Wrong With Me” to the crowd at Parc del Forum’s Occident Stage. By the end of Rodrigo and The Cure frontman’s duet — right after hugging her musical hero-turned-friend (and now, officially, collaborator) — the pop star admitted, “I feel like I’m gonna cry … I can’t believe that that’s a thing that happened in the real world and not just a figment of my imagination.” The lyrics of “What’s Wrong With Me” have her “spiraling.” “I’m not feeling like myself, and nothing ever seems to help,” Rodrigo sings in the pre-chorus, leading up to “Went to the doctor and she said I was fine/ But every movie that I’ve seen makes me cry/ It’s like somebody put a weight on my chest/ I should talk to a friend, but I can’t get out of bed/ My head is spinning and my stomach is sick/ Say I’m in love, so it’s hard to admit/ I can’t eat, I can’t sleep/ I think you’re what’s wrong with me.” Verse two brings in Smith, who echoes Rodrigo’s relationship rumination: “Head just keeps on pounding with the simple thought/ ‘What if this isn’t what I want?'” They layer their vocals over the chorus from that point on, and through the song’s bridge and outro. You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love is only a week away; the full album will be available Friday, June 12 via Geffen Records. Rodrigo popped online with a quick Instagram Story earlier on Saturday to share the news of her previously unannounced Primavera set, which was slotted for 10:25 p.m. local time, though she remained mum on the Smith’s part until showtime. “Surprise!!!” she’d captioned a snapshot of herself giving a thumbs up on the festival’s grounds
