Which musician appears as a guest on Olivia Rodrigo’s “What’s Wrong with Me”?

Robert Smith appears as a guest on Olivia Rodrigo’s “What’s Wrong with Me.”

Smith is the English musician best known as the lead singer and principal songwriter of the Cure. His guest appearance is especially fitting because Rodrigo’s album includes strong references to the Cure and its romantic, melancholy style.

The album credits identify “What’s Wrong with Me” as a track with Smith, Rodrigo, Dan Nigro, and Sasha Alex Sloan among its writers. Smith also contributes vocals and instrumental parts, including bass, guitar, and piano, according to the personnel credits.

This collaboration is separate from Rodrigo’s cover performances of Cure songs. Smith appeared on the album track itself, while the broader project also references or features “Friday I’m in Love” and “Just like Heaven” in related live-album material.
