Olivia is the second studio album by the British-Australian singer-songwriter Olivia Newton-John, released in 1972. Two of its songs were released as singles ("What Is Life" and "Just a Little Too Much"). In its initial release, it was not issued in the United States, where its songs would instead be released on Let Me Be There and If You Love Me, Let Me Know, though it was sold there as an import. A digitally remastered version was released in 1995.

She covers two songs from George Harrison on this album, "Behind That Locked Door" and "What Is Life", both originated from Harrison's first solo album All Things Must Pass published in 1970.

Reception

The first single "What Is Life" reached number 18 in Ireland^[1] and number 16 in the UK,^[2] but the album itself was a commercial failure when released in the UK on Pye International in 1972.

The cover art, done in blue tint, was later used (in a blueish-green tint) as the cover of the US release of Let Me Be There on MCA Records in 1973, following the success of the hit single penned by John Rostill.
