Olivia Rodrigo has said her new album Guts is about "growing pains and trying to figure out who I am at this point in my life."
The breakout star, who soared to global fame with her song Drivers Licence, releases the follow-up to her multi-million selling debut album Sour on 8 September, with new single Vampire out on 30 June.
The 20-year-old California native said, "I feel like I grew 10 years between the ages of 18 and 20 - it was such an intense period of awkwardness and change. I think that's all just a natural part of growth, and hopefully the album reflects that."
Rodrigo’s global hit Drivers License debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in January 2021 and became the first song in history to hit 80 million streams in seven days on Spotify.
It also topping the charts in numerous countries including Ireland where it held the top spot for nine weeks.
Sour entered the Billboard 200 at No. 1 and would go on to become the longest-running debut album in the chart’s top 10 of the 21st century and the first to spend an entire year in the upper echelon.
It also entered the charts at No. 1 in Ireland, the UK, Canada, Norway, Holland, Sweden, Australia, and New Zealand.
