Olivia Rodrigo Teases a Potential Pop Collaboration: ‘Olivia Does Remixes Now’

Olivia Rodrigo seems to have a new collaboration up her sleeve, and fans think Chappell Roan might be involved.

The “Drop Dead” singer took to her Instagram Story on Monday (Oct. 12) to share a video of what appears to be a song session open on her computer screen, with a voice that sounds like Roan’s in the background saying, “Ooh, Olivia does remixes now.” The clip gave fans no further details about the potential release, but the tease was enough to rally pop music fans.

While Rodrigo has yet to officially announce the project or confirm Roan’s involvement, the potential pairing would bring together two of pop music’s biggest names. Fans have already begun speculating about which song the duo might be reworking, with “Expectations,” a track from Rodrigo’s You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love, emerging as a leading possibility.

The theory stems from the song’s chanted “I’ve got big expectations” lyric, which is repeated in a fashion that some listeners likened to Roan. The resemblance fueled fan speculation about a potential collaboration or remix version of the song. Neither artist has confirmed a connection, however. Billboard has reached out to Rodrigo’s reps for comment.

The song is one of 13 tracks on the album, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The album also gave Rodrigo her third consecutive No. 1 on the chart, following 2021’s SOUR and 2023’s GUTS.

“Expectations” also made its own appearance on the charts. The song reached a peak position of No. 20 on the Billboard Hot 100, contributing to the album’s impressive chart showing: All 13 songs from You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love landed in the chart’s top 30 in June, with “Drop Dead” topping the Hot 100 the previous month.

A collaboration with Roan wouldn’t be entirely out of left field. Roan was among the artists who joined Rodrigo at her inaugural Daisy Chain Fields festival in August, which brought together an all-women lineup of musicians. The two singers also have a history of supporting each other with Roan previously opening for Rodrigo on the GUTS World Tour in 2024.
