AceShowbiz - Olivia Rodrigo can't move on from her ex on her new song. The "Drivers License" hitmaker has finally given her fans more taste of her upcoming sophomore album "Guts" by releasing her new single "Bad Idea Right?" alongside its music video.

Unveiled on Thursday, August 10, "Bad Idea Right?" sees Olivia crawling back to her ex despite knowing that it's probably a bad idea. The visuals for the track kicks off with the 20-year-old pop star at a party with her friends when her ex calls her, asking her to come over.

"Yes, I know that he's my ex/ But can't two people reconnect?/ I only see him as a friend/ The biggest lie I ever said," so she sings in the chorus while heading to her ex's house despite rain. "Oh, yes, I know that he's my ex/ But can't two people reconnect?/ I only see him as a friend/ I just tripped and fell into his bed."

Olivia also took to her Instagram account to announce the release of "Bad Idea Right?". "bad idea right? is out everywhere!!!! I had such a fun time making this song with @dan_nigro in nyc last year," the Grammy-winning star wrote alongside some behind-the-scenes photos from the music video filming.

She continued, "we wrote the chorus as a joke but we loved it so much we made it into a full fledged song lol! I had a ball making the music video with my friends @petrafcollins @madisonhu @tatemcrae @irisapatow and I'm so happy it's out in the world. u can listen and watch now!!!!!"

"Bad Idea Right?" follows "Vampire", which was released on July 15. It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking the singer's third chart-topping single.

Earlier this month, Olivia excitedly unveiled the track-listing for "Guts", which is set for release on September 8. "For me, this album is about growing pains and trying to figure out who I am at this point in my life. I feel like I grew 10 years between the ages of 18 and 20 - it was such an intense period of awkwardness and change. I think that's all just a natural part of growth, and hopefully the album reflects that," she said in a statement.
