Rodrigo played the song seated on a swing – a nod to the cover art for her third album which is released on 12 June, with Natalie Mering - aka Weyes Blood – singing backup. The lyrics included the lines "All that I want is to know undoubtedly that you just have eyes for me / All that I want is to sit here silently and watch movies on TV".
Rodrigo also played her current single "drop dead" with Blondie's Debbie Harry making a surprise appearance to introduce her. The song, released two weeks ago, is currently No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Elsewhere in the show, she monologued by revisiting her Disney Channel beginnings on Bizaardvark, and performed a parody "drivers license" around getting a real ID at the DMV.
