"stupid song" lyrics
"stupid song"
New York City's never looked so blue
My friends are smoking blunts in the bathroom
They say that honest love is a cage that makes you feel free
And all the girls at this party are so cool
That's never been a thing that I could do
But I can't help but imagine what you say when you speak with me
You're a spark in the dark and my clothes all caught aflame
You should feel how I feel when somebody says your name
I'm a car speeding down the boulevard without a brake
And I want you more than any stupid song could ever say
I'm a heart made of wax and I'm melting in the sun
I'm a thread on your shirt that is coming undone
I feel right, I feel wrong, I feel totally insane
And I want you more than any stupid song could ever say
Walking through the park with my head high
Past all the college girls and the drunk guys
And if there is a god, he's the bond that's between us two
Seven nights alone and a skipped meal
I'm sleeping in my dress and my high heels
And I'm too shy to say what I see when I dream of you (When I dream of you)
You're a spark in the dark and my clothes all caught aflame
You should feel how I feel when somebody says your name
I'm a car speeding down the boulevard without a brake
And I want you more than any stupid song could ever say
I'm a heart made of wax and I'm melting in the sun
I'm a thread on your shirt that is coming undone
I feel right, I feel wrong, I feel totally insane
And I want you more than any stupid song could ever say
Every night like the one before
Dream of you from like 1 to 4
Positively and truly sure
Nobody's wanted somebody more
It's a thing that I can't ignore
Tell your friends that you're mine, I'm yours
With a hand on my heart, I swore
Nobody's wanted somebody more
It's a thing that I can't ignore
Tell your friends that you're mine, I'm yours
With a hand on my heart, I swore
I'm going crazy, I'm going mad
I want you, baby, so bad
You're a spark in the dark and my clothes all caught aflame
You should feel how I feel when somebody says your name
I'm a car speeding down the boulevard without a brake
And I want you more than any stupid song could ever say
I'm a heart made of wax and I'm melting in the sun
I'm a thread on your shirt that is coming undone
I feel right, I feel wrong, I feel totally insane
And I want you more than any stupid song could ever say

"Stupid Song" is the third single from Olivia Rodrigo's third studio album, "You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love". The song was premiered on June 12, 2026, accompanied by the
music video featuring ballerinas in the streets of New York City.
Olivia Rodrigo explained her vision of this song's meaning to BBC some days before the release of the album, "When you're really deeply in love, it feels like a song is so futile. It's really hard to capture in a way that feels palpable to others."
Speaking on
an interview with Popcast on the 29th of May, 2026, Olivia Rodrigo said of the inspiration behind "Stupid Song",
"I was really inspired by this book 'Simple Passion' by Annie Arnault. It's like this—she's having this affair with this person, and she's not quite happy. She's kind of just going insane. Like, everything she does, she's reminded of this person. The longing, like, overcomes her. And I was, like, really—I was really inspired by just all of the ways in which love makes you insane and miserable."
