“How Did I Get It So Wrong” LISTEN
(Nov 12th, 2026) – New York’s Rockie Rode is back to announce her new album Babylon due Dec 3rd. The project is her second album this year following her celebrated self-titled debut Rockie, which Pitchfork described as “spooky and charming,” calling it, “an unassuming indie-pop record with the aura of a vintage cult classic.”
The announcement comes alongside a new single “How Did I Get It So Wrong,” a sparkling, cheerful folk tune that unveils a bleaker tale of lying lovers and false connections. Rockie ruminates, “So you felt nothing, that’s what you’re telling me, I wish it were sooner, that you got me out of my misery…how did I get it so wrong, you were just playing along, I was thinking of you all day long, but you’re not here.” Her vocals carry a bittersweet sense of disbelief as Rode reflects on the distance between the mirage and the real.
Rockie performed “How Did I Get It So Wrong” at Pitchfork London and Paris, as well as at And Always Forever festival this past weekend. Watch footage of the performance captured by Nolan Busalacchi here.
The track follows previous single “Concrete Cowboy,” a portrait of a wayward city dweller, embodying a distinctly modern, unvarnished take on the cowboy mythos. With Babylon Rode continues to build on the subtle and earnest folk inflections of her debut as she crafts songs steeped in themes of self-invention, disillusionment, and longing. Her work captures the restless, searching nature of youth, where romantic ideals meet the realities of getting by. The weathered idealism of Rode’s writing against her haunting vocals is disarming. As Pitchfork concluded, “I’m prepared to believe in Rockie Rode the whole time.”
