Olivia Rodrigo<\/a> surprise-released her new song \u201cSerena Joy\u201d Friday via a limited-edition CD single sold exclusively at an indie record shop closest to her upcoming Daisy Chain Fields festival<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tustin, California\u2019s Analog Music Shop \u2014 located 7.5 miles from Irvine\u2019s Great Park, where Daisy Chain Fields will be held next weekend \u2014 announced on social media Friday that Rodrigo had provided 500 CD copies of her Handmaid\u2019s Tale-inspired new song to the store, Variety reported<\/a>; by Friday night, the shop sold all copies had sold out.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we heard that Olivia Rodrigo was bringing an all-women music festival to Orange County, we were honestly just excited to see something this special happening right here in our hometown,\u201d the record shop wrote on social media. \u201cAs one of the closest record stores in the area, we wanted to find a way to support Daisy Chain Fields.\u201d<\/p>\n

The store continued, \u201cWe knew Olivia had a track record of supporting record stores, but we were still taken aback when we heard the news: Olivia is releasing a new song ahead of Daisy Chain Fields called \u2018Serena Joy,\u2019 and she wants the physical CD copies to be exclusively sold at Analog Record Shop. And the best part\u2026 She\u2019s giving it to us 3 DAYS before anyone else can hear it. Three days early. More than anything, we\u2019re grateful for what this represents: An artist building a stage for women in music and raising funds for women and girls. An artist willing to support a local independent record store. And a hometown getting to be part of something really special. That means a lot to us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSerena Joy\u201d was among the tracks Rodrigo recorded for her recent LP You Look Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love<\/a>, but it ultimately didn\u2019t make the final cut.<\/p>\n

\u201cI actually really love [\u2018Serena Joy\u2019]. It didn\u2019t fit on the album,\u201d Rodrigo told Etalk. \u201cThe record was very much a chronicle of a relationship \u2014 beginning, middle and end. But I hope that it\u2019ll be a part of something else down the line.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Rodrigo hasn\u2019t commented on the limited edition release, Analog Record Shop alluded to \u201cSerena Joy\u201d receiving a wider digital release on Monday.<\/p>\n
