Here’s Why Fans Think Olivia Rodrigo Is Releasing 4 Bonus Songs on a ‘Guts’ Deluxe: See the Titles
Written by djfrosty on September 7, 2023
Olivia Rodrigo might just have four extra songs in store following the release of her sophomore album Guts — which, at the time of publication, is less than 24 hours away.
Out Friday (Sept. 8) at midnight, Guts already has a confirmed 12 songs on its standard track list, which includes the previously released singles “Vampire” and “Bad Idea Right?” But fans think they may have spotted four additional song titles hidden in a faux infomercial filmed by Rodrigo promoting her fast-approaching LP, posted on her official YouTube channel Wednesday (Sept. 6).
The parody infomercial recommends Guts to people who “regularly suffer from the agony” of spilling their guts to strangers or who struggle with trusting their guts. Around the 23-second mark, the album’s tracklist appears onscreen and scrolls from top to bottom.
At first glance, it looks just like the same tracklist confirmed by Rodrigo earlier this summer. But then, at the 26-second mark, the screen glitches for just a split second, quickly revealing what look to be the titles of four new tracks before they disappear: “Obsessed,” “Scared of My Guitar,” “Stranger” and “Girl I’ve Always Been.”
Some of these new titles perfectly match the clues Rodrigo hid in a cryptic tracklist teaser posted in July, particularly “Obsessed” and “Stranger.”
“GUTS DELUXE IS COMING,” tweeted one fan, reposting the infomercial on Twitter.
“GUTS DELUXE IS ABOUT TO CHANGE MY LIFE,” wrote another.
Guts will mark Rodrigo’s first LP since Sour, her 2021 debut that catapulted her to superstardom with No. 1 hits “Drivers License” and “Good 4 U.” She’s already scored another No. 1 with Guts, thanks to its smash lead single “Vampire,” released in June.
In a recent conversation with Phoebe Bridgers for Interview magazine, the 20-year-old star opened up about what she’s doing differently this time around. Alluding to her desire to avoid a repeat of the Joshua Bassett/Sabrina Carpenter drama sparked by the success of “Drivers License,” she told Bridgers that she now feels a responsibility to send her songs to their subjects before releasing them.
“I feel like last time, there was so much weird media s–t and I had no idea how to deal with any of it,” she reflected. “Literally, it was the first song out of the gate and all of that s–t happened. I felt so ill-equipped … That was an overwhelming experience, but now I definitely feel a responsibility [to give a heads up].”
