Pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo unveiled a powerful new duet, "What's Wrong With Me," featuring The Cure's Robert Smith, during her surprise performance at Primavera Sound 2026 in Barcelona, Spain. The track, situated in the latter half of Rodrigo's forthcoming album, "You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love," showcases a more introspective side, with lyrics detailing feelings of spiraling and unease.
Rodrigo described her collaboration with Smith as a dream come true, expressing profound emotion after their performance. The song's verses describe a descent into emotional distress, with the pre-chorus detailing symptoms of anxiety and the inability to function normally. Smith's contribution to the second verse adds another layer of introspection, questioning personal desires and contentment.
This surprise appearance at Primavera Sound came just hours after Rodrigo announced her participation in the festival. The collaboration with Smith marks their second joint live performance, with their first occurring at Glastonbury in the previous year. The singer-songwriter is also gearing up for her "Unraveled Tour," set to launch in September in Hartford, Connecticut, in support of her latest single, "The Cure."
