Olivia Rodrigo Releases Politically Charged New Song “Serena Joy” on Limited-Edition CD

Olivia Rodrigo has released a limited edition CD single of her politically charged song "Serena Joy" through independent record store Analog Music Shop in Tustin, California. The exclusive 500 copies of the CD sold out within hours of its release on Friday. The track, named after a character from Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, warns against complicity in oppressive systems.

Rodrigo had hinted at its existence earlier in the year but ultimately decided to release it as part of Daisy Chain Fields, an all-women festival taking place on August 29th in Irvine. The event will feature Rodrigo alongside several other female musicians. While the CD remains exclusive, the song will become available on streaming platforms on Monday, August 24th. Resale markets are already seeing the ultra-limited CDs listed for hundreds of dollars.
