Olivia Rodrigo’s fan hotline has been updated with a preview of her new song ‘Obsessed’. The snippet of the song includes harmonies and Rodrigo singing before screaming with increasing intensity.
‘Obsessed’ was originally released exclusively on limited-edition ‘GUTS’ vinyl as a hidden track and has also been included in her current setlist for the ‘GUTS’ tour, which kicked off on February 23 in Palm Springs, California.
The sultry pop-rock song sees Rodrigo singing about becoming fixated on a partner’s ex and was performed during the tour. There is currently no release date for the single to appear on digital streaming platforms.
Rodrigo’s ‘GUTS’ tour has also been in the headlines recently due to free contraception being given out during the singer’s stop in Missouri, where abortion has been banned in most cases after Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022.
After the move angered many Republican figures, including “horrified” Missouri state senator Bill Eigel, local abortion organisers revealed they are no longer allowed to hand out contraceptive kits at Rodrigo’s concerts.
Speaking to Variety, one organiser claimed that Rodrigo’s team said they didn’t want the kits to be handed out as “children are present at the concerts”. Rodrigo has yet to comment publicly on the situation.
The singer announced in February that she was launching a reproductive rights initiative on tour, including donating a portion of her ticket sales to ‘Fund 4 Good’, which will “support community-based non-profits that champion things like girls’ education, support reproductive rights, and prevent gender-based violence”
