Story Brief

Days after releasing a stellar new song exclusively via CD at one indie record shop, Olivia Rodrigo has officially dropped “Serena Joy” on all platforms. With its layers of jubilant Devo-like synths, “Serena Joy” sounds sonically similar to the You Look Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love track “Expectations,” only the new gem is inspired by The Handmaid’s Tale , with lyrics like “If they do it to them/They’ll do it to you.” She co-wrote it with her longtime collaborator Dan Nigro, who also produced the track.
