Pop powerhouse Reneé Rapp is done playing nice. Today, she kicks off a bold new era with the release of her ferocious new single “Leave Me Alone,” now streaming everywhere. And that’s not all! Rapp has officially announced her hotly anticipated second studio album, Bite Me, dropping August 1, 2025 via Interscope Records.
“Leave Me Alone” is a sonic slap in the face, in the best way possible. It’s loud, bold, and uncompromising, capturing Rapp’s new, razor-sharp edge. The music video is pure mayhem: Rapp and a crew of chaotic blonde clones throw down in an epic, slow-mo pillow fight that spirals into beautiful bedlam. The message? She’s taking back control, on her terms, and with zero apologies.
This single marks Rapp’s return to solo dominance following her chart-blazing 2023 collab with Megan Thee Stallion on Mean Girls’ “Not My Fault.” That track not only broke Rapp’s own streaming records but landed her a fiery debut on Saturday Night Live—proving she’s just as commanding live as she is in the studio.
In true Rapp fashion, the rollout for Bite Me has been anything but subtle. Teasers included a cryptic countdown on the new BITE.ME website and unexpected co-signs from icons like Paris Hilton, Charlize Theron, and even Monica Lewinsky, sending fans into an internet frenzy. It’s not just hype, it’s a cultural moment in the making.
Bite Me promises 12 tracks of raw emotion, blistering vocals, and the no-holds-barred songwriting that’s become Rapp’s trademark. If her debut Snow Angel introduced the world to her soul, Bite Me is about unleashing the storm.
