Olivia Rodrigo is already picking favorites from Gracie Abrams’ upcoming album. During the pair’s new Spotify Countdown To interview, released July 7, Rodrigo revealed that “Death Wish” is currently the song she keeps returning to from Abrams’ highly anticipated third studio album, Daughter from Hell.
Speaking directly to Abrams, Rodrigo praised the track’s writing in unmistakable terms. “Every lyric feels so poignant,” she said. “It feels like there are no filler lyrics in it—it’s just perfect.”
The moment arrives as anticipation continues to build around Daughter from Hell, which is scheduled for release on July 17 through Interscope Records. Abrams has already introduced fans to the project through the singles “Hit the Wall” and “Look at My Life.”
Rodrigo’s endorsement carries extra weight given the creative relationship between the two artists. Throughout the interview, she reflected on discovering Abrams’ music as a teenager and the impact it had on her own songwriting journey.
“Watching you write all these beautiful songs was very inspiring to me as a young person,” Rodrigo explained. “I can just be in my room and write about my life.”
That influence has become one of the most compelling aspects of their friendship. Abrams opened for Rodrigo during the SOUR Tour in 2022.
The Spotify conversation also includes discussion about the creation of Daughter from Hell, as well as Abrams sharing one of the album’s most talked-about lines. In a promotional clip released ahead of the episode, she recites: “I’m convinced our sinking ship will sing as it goes down, haunting hymns keep echoing afterward in the ground.”
