Singer Olivia Rodrigo released a new song titled ‘Serena Joy,’ inspired by a character from Margaret Atwood’s ‘The Handmaid’s Tale.’ The track was initially launched as a highly limited physical release of 500 CDs sold exclusively at the Analog Record Shop in Tustin, California, which reportedly sold out quickly. Although the song was recorded during sessions for her third studio album, ‘You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love,’ Rodrigo chose not to include it on the final ~~tracklist.~~ tracklist because its political tone did not fit the album's romantic narrative. The track, co-written with Dan Nigro, was released separately ~~due~~ to ~~its distinct political themes.~~ explore themes of reproductive rights, complicity, and privilege. Following the physical release, the song was made available on digital streaming platforms. The release is intended to support women’s rights and empowerment, exploring themes of reproductive rights, complicity, privilege, and societal complicity.
