The 23-year-old posted the candid snapshots on her Instagram on Saturday, giving everyone a closer look at the making of her new song, The Cure. The single came out on May 22 and quickly caught fire online.
She Played a Nurse and Made It Work
The music video features Olivia fully dressed as a nurse, and the behind-the-scenes photos show just how much detail went into pulling that look together.
One photo showed her legs in light pink leggings and matching pink pumps, with a red-marked report sitting on the floor in front of her. It was a small but telling detail that hinted at the video’s dramatic, medical theme.
Other shots showed Olivia lying on a hospital bed, being dragged along by nurses while she appeared sound asleep in her costume. The whole thing had a fun, almost theatrical energy to it.
She also shared a peek at her pre-filming glam session, sitting in front of a heart-shaped mirror inside a vanity room. It was a genuine, unposed moment that fans appreciated.
Red Threads, Pink Robes, and Real Chaos
Some of the most talked-about photos came from deeper in the set. One image showed Olivia lying on a bed in her pink nurse robe, surrounded by red threads, with her production team busy working around her. It looked creative, messy, and very much alive.
Other photos highlighted the medical props used throughout filming, things like equipment, tools, and styled set pieces that helped build the video’s dramatic visual feel.
Her caption kept it casual and real: “more the cure bts thank u guys 4 listening xoxoxox.” No big speech, just genuine appreciation for her fans.
Fans Are Already Obsessed
The comments section filled up fast. People were not just reacting to the photos. They were reacting to the song too.
“I’m in love with all of this,” one fan wrote. Another said the track has been on repeat since it dropped, adding, “It’s literally been on repeat for me idk about y’all.” A third fan flat out called it “definitely the song of the year.”
That kind of response in the first few days of a release is a strong sign. The Cure is clearly connecting with people.
A Big Album Is Coming Soon
The Cure is the second single from Olivia’s upcoming third studio album, titled You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love. It is set to release on June 12.
Her first two albums, Sour and Guts, both performed incredibly well. Sour earned her three Grammy Awards and made her one of the most talked-about artists of her generation. Guts continued that run with strong reviews and sold-out tours worldwide.
With a catchy single already gaining traction and a visually rich music video drawing attention, Olivia is setting herself up well heading into this next release. The playful nurse concept, the fan reactions, and the album title itself all suggest she is leaning into a more dramatic and emotionally layered sound this time around.
June 12 is not far off, and if the early buzz around The Cure is any sign, fans are in for something worth the wait.
