It\u2019s the moment she realizes her partner is the reason she\u2019s feeling sad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I\u2019m just staring at the ceiling,<br>Can\u2019t describe this feeling I\u2019ve got in my head,<br>I\u2019m out of body in my bed.<br>And I\u2019m just searching up my symptoms,<br>Desperate to fix \u2019em, I\u2019ll do anything,<br>\u2019Cause lately I\u2019ve been spiraling, oh.<br>I\u2019m not feeling like myself and,<br>Nothing ever seems to help<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The track also marks Rodrigo\u2019s first official collaboration. \u201cIt\u2019s my first collaboration, and I am just so proud of it, and I can\u2019t believe that this song exists and the person that it exists with. I\u2019m just so f**king over the moon,\u201d she said at Primavera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For his part, Smith <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DZVcNd0o7X2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">told<\/a> BBC6 Music, \u201cShe is genuinely fantastic as a songwriter and as a singer, as a performer.

An easy one to ask, but not always easy to answer. Or, at least, not easy to face the answer one already knows to be true. She recognizes the symptoms. Now she\u2019s turning to Robert Smith, whose legendary band has both a name and the masterpieces to offer what she really needs: The Cure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Photo by Samir Hussein\/WireImage<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On \u201cWhat\u2019s Wrong With Me\u201d, Olivia Rodrigo collaborates with her idol, Robert Smith from The Cure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":973477,"featured_media":3027,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"byline":{"profiles":[{"type":"byline_id","atts":{"term_id":316,"post_id":2139}}]},"savage_platform_role_ideator":[],"savage_platform_role_editor":[],"savage_platform_role_senior_editor":[],"savage_platform_role_photographer":[],"savage_platform_role_illustrator":[],"savage_platform_role_translator":[],"savage_platform_role_as-told-to":[],"savage_platform_role_reviewed-by":[],"savage_platform_disable_recirculation":false,"savage_platform_article_type":"news","savage_platform_vice_article_type":"article","savage_platform_article_intent":"","savage_platform_show_affiliate_disclaimer":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"wp_curate_deduplication":false,"wp_curate_unique_pinned_posts":false,"savage_platform_featured_image_caption":"Photo by Samir Hussein\/WireImage","_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"savage_platform_subheadline":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[377,36,344],"byline":[316],"class_list":["post-3026","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features","tag-olivia-rodrigo","tag-pop-music","tag-robert-smith"],"savage_platform_primary_term":{"category":{"term_name":"Features","term_id":12,"term_link":"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/articles\/category\/features\/"},"post_tag":{"term_name":"Olivia Rodrigo","term_id":377,"term_link":"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/articles\/tag\/olivia-rodrigo\/"}},"hide_from_homepage":false,"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
