Olivia Rodrigo officially dropped “Vampire,” her first song from her upcoming sophomore album GUTS, due out September 8th.
The 20-year-old’s latest single comes more than two years after the release of her debut album, Sour. Rodrigo wrote on Instagram: “vampire song and video out now. I made it with my very talented wonderful friend @dan_nigro last winter and created the video with the incredible @petrafcollins 
” and added … writing this song helped me sort through lots of feelings of regret, anger, and heartache. it’s one of my favorite songs on the album and it felt very cathartic to finish,” she added. “im so happy it’s in your hands now and I hope it helps u deal with any bloodsuckers in your life. all my thanks 4ever.”
The video for ‘Vampire,’ directed by Petra Collins (who helmed Rodrigo’s “Good 4 U” video), sees Olivia getting hit with a stage light and starts to bleed, before being chased out of the auditorium by photographers and taking off across Los Angeles.
