Filipino-American singer and songwriter Olivia Rodrigo is set to release a new single “vampire” on June 30.
Rodrigo shared the news on her Instagram page with the regal black and white cover photo of her new single showing two purple bandages forming an X on her neck.
“My new song vampire is out June 30th! You can pre-save now. So excited for this ahhhhh!!!!!!!,” the songstress exclaimed in the caption.
The 20-year-old “drivers license” singer also shared through a newsletter a handwritten note to her fans sharing the announcement of the release of the song.

This will mark Rodrigo’s comeback after the release of her 2021 Grammy-Awards-winning debut album, SOUR, with chart-topping songs “drivers license,” “good 4 u,” “déjà vu,” and “traitor.”
Livies (Rodrigo’s fan name) believed that the song is heavily inspired by Twilight (movie) as the singer is a big fan of the franchise.
