Olivia Rodrigo and Chappell Roan have teamed up for a remix of Expectations.
On Monday (12.10.26), Olivia shared a video on Instagram Stories showing a studio session, with the new version of the song from her latest album, You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love, displayed on the screen.
In the clip, a voice believed to belong to her close friend Chappell can be heard saying: "Ooh, Olivia does remixes now."
According to The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column, the revamped track is expected to arrive this Friday (16.10.26).
The Good 4 U singer and the Pink Pony Club star are thought to have come up with the idea to work together after spending time together at Olivia's Daisy Chain Fields festival earlier this summer.
A source told the publication: “Olivia and Chappell have been friends for a long time through producer and songwriter Dan Nigro, who has worked closely with both of them.
“Chappell hasn't released any new music for more than a year as she's taken a step back from the spotlight and quietly focused on creating new material.
“But they caught up again in August at Olivia's Daisy Chain Fields festival, where they both performed, and decided to collaborate. Chappell really connects with the song's message, and the version they've created together is amazing.”
It was also at Daisy Chain Fields that Chappell discovered "how much" she had "missed" being on stage.
The singer had not performed live since May, making her appearance at the all female festival a welcome return that seemed to reignite her passion for performing. After the show, she took to Instagram to thank Olivia for the invitation and applaud her for using her platform “for good”.
Sharing a message on Instagram following the event, she wrote: "Thank you for having me @daisychainfields ! @oliviarodrigo u r so inspiring in so many ways.
"Artists like you are so important because you use your platform for good and bring so much light into the world.
"Thank you for being yourself and for supporting artists like me. You've changed my life in so many ways 3 Performing again felt so good, and I hadn't realised how much I'd missed it. I finally got to live out my fifth element fantasy."

Olivia Rodrigo’s love for The White Stripes led her to spend thousands on a dress worn by Meg White.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the 23 year old singer admitted paying an "exorbitant amount of money" for the vintage white Gunne Sax dress. Meg, 51, wore it on the cover of Elephant, the 2003 album she recorded with bandmate and former husband Jack White, also 51.
Olivia had intended to wear her purchase at her first nonprofit Daisy Chain Fields festival in August. However, she changed her mind because the weather at Great Park in Irvine, California, was "too f****** hot".
The Drivers License singer joked: "Maybe if I do Daisy Chain in the winter, I can wear it."
The dress appeared in Julien’s Music Icons auction in May with an estimated value of $4,000 to $6,000. The winning bid reached $25,600.
It came from the personal collection of musician Tracee Mae Miller, a friend of both Meg and Jack.
Explaining the dress’s history, the auction house said: "For various photo shoots during that time, Miller shared that she and Meg would pull items from their own closets to style themselves.
"For this shoot, Miller pulled the dress directly from her closet for Meg to wear. The bodice of the dress was tailored by Miller’s mom to fit her, and the dress luckily ended up fitting Meg perfectly as well."
A fan of The White Stripes for years, Olivia has also become close friends with Jack since their first meeting in 2022.
In April, the Drop Dead singer shared that Jack had placed a message backstage ahead of her hosting appearance on NBC’s Saturday Night Live. His note read: "Kill it kid."
Discussing their friendship with The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon, 52, Olivia said: "I love Jack White. He’s, like, my hero.
"He’s the coolest guy ever. Wonderful person. Always stands up for what’s right … He sent me a text, and he’s like, 'Look up!' Like, 'Keep your head up. You’re gonna find something.'"
Meg praised Olivia in 2022, saying: "She’s very cool, very real, and very much a lover of music. She’s also introducing another set of youth to the love of vinyl records as well.
"Respect."
