Why it is here
- "the cure" was released on May 22, 2026 via Geffen Records as the second single from Olivia Rodrigo's third studio album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, which arrived June 12, 2026 — placing the August 21, 2026 chart date inside the album's first post-release cycle. source
- Rodrigo described the track as the climax of the record and confirmed it is not about the band the Cure, despite her collaboration with Robert Smith, whose duet with her, "What's Wrong With Me," she premiered at Primavera Sound in June 2026. source
- The song's handmade-hospital music video, directed by Cat Solen and Jaime Gerin, became the basis of the Grammy Museum exhibit "Olivia Rodrigo: The Cure Unraveled," announced in late August 2026 to open September 2, 2026, as her Unraveled Tour prepared to begin September 25, 2026. source
