Olivia Rodrigois ready to spill her guts on the details of her new album!
The singer, 20, shared a cryptic video on Monday that teased the tracklist for her upcoming album,Guts, set to be released on Sept. 8.
Theminute-long videois an overhead shot of Rodrigo lounging in a bedroom littered with possible clues about the new album’s song titles. She does chores, unpacks boxes, writes on paper and types on her typewriter before the shot focuses in on the paper she’s typing on, revealing the words, “GUTS tracklist.”
Her most eagle-eyed fans started to notice that words and phrases were scattered throughout the set and began trying to decipher the tiny details and Easter eggs that could be possible track titles.

The clearest clue is the four keys on typewriter that have purple gems over the letters to spell out the album’s title, hinting that there will likely be a titular song on the album.
Other hints include the words “Bad idea right” written in lipstick on a mirror, the word “stranger” written over sheet music, and “obsessed!” emblazoned on a sweatshirt. A yearbook that Rodrigo lays out on the bed also gives viewers a clear shot of the words “Book club.”
But some clues are easier to decipher than others, even with fans using their “FBI/detective skills.”
Rodrigo brings a birthday cake into the frame halfway through the video and puts numbered candles on top of it, but fans can’t agree on whether the candles are the number 18 or 19. There’s also text sprawled across a skateboard on the floor, but it’s too difficult to decipher what it says.
Despite the difficulty of some of the hints, Rodrigo’s fans are not giving up on trying to crack the “Driver’s License” singer’s codes, withone user writing on Twitter, nowrenamed X, “sigh, time to spend my lunch break decoding this.”

Many fans shared that they “cannot wait” for the album’s September release. Rodrigo first announcedthe sophomore albumin June, writing that making the album was “very daunting, very fun, and very fulfilling.”
“For me, this album is about growing pains and trying to figure out who I am at this point in my life,” she shared in a release. “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.”
