The release and announcement arrive alongside an official music video for “Leave Me Alone.” The video features Rapp accompanied by a slew of blonde doppelgängers as they progress from raunchy pillow-fight to all-out brawl. The highly stylized video ranges from chaotic and fun to thrilling and exciting, a fitting complement to the energy of the new song, and a perfect intro into Rapp’s new chapter.
Reneé Rapp first began teasing her new era earlier this month with the BITE.ME website reveal, urging fans to ‘sign a hundred NDA’s’ ultimately revealing a slew of hints about the yet-to-be-announced album. In the weeks following, the internet erupted with ‘Bite Me’ related clues – from Rapp’s “Bite Me” lip tattoo to posts from the likes of Paris Hilton, Charlize Theron, Monica Lewinsky, Gabby Windey, and more. A powerful statement about reclaiming your personal narrative, “Leave Me Alone” and the Bite Me era encourages listeners to embrace every facet of their personality, the chaotic and the confident, and to find strength in being authentically, unapologetically themselves.
This exciting new chapter marks Rapp’s first music release since 2023, when she collaborated with GRAMMY® award-winning artist Megan Thee Stallion on hit record “Not My Fault” from the official soundtrack to Paramount’s feature film MEAN GIRLS (which also saw Rapp reprising her iconic role of Regina George). The song earned Rapp’s highest ever day one streams on Spotify to date, and saw a legendary performance between the two stars on Saturday Night Live.
