She Teased, We Thirsted, She Delivered: Reneé Rapp Drops Leave Me Alone
Lesbians, assemble! We’ve got news, y’all. Our favorite lesbian pop princess, Reneé Rapp, just dropped her brand-new single Leave Me Alone, and it’s everything she’s been teasing… and then some. If you’ve been following her thirst-trap breadcrumb trail across social media lately, then you know this moment has been building, and today, we’re finally being fed.
Seriously, if you’re a Reneé Rapp fan (and let’s be real, who among us isn’t?), then you’ve definitely clocked the actress-singer-multi-hyphenate soft-launching her new song with sultry, flirty little video clips. Every lesbian with a TikTok account has been collectively losing their mind. The thirst was real, and thanks to Leave Me Alone, that thirst has officially been quenched.
Rapp first started hinting at her new era earlier this month with the mysterious BITE.ME website, where fans were encouraged to “sign a hundred NDAs” before getting a flood of cryptic clues. What followed was pure gay chaos, from her “Bite Me” lip tattoo reveal to surprise support from celebs like Paris Hilton, Charlize Theron, Monica Lewinsky (yes, really), Gabby Windey, and more. The message was clear: something big (and queer-lighting-worthy) was coming.
Leave Me Alone is the first single from her newly announced album Bite Me, which drops August 1—and yes, that’s your cue to pre-save it right now. The single is a bold, biting declaration of self-worth, an anthem for embracing every messy, magnetic, and chaotic part of ourselves. It’s a powerful kickoff to an era that promises to be just as unapologetic and unfiltered as Reneé herself.
And the video? Oh, honey. It’s chaos in the best possible way. Rapp is surrounded by an army of blonde doppelgängers as they go from a sexy pillow fight to a full-blown blonde-on-blonde brawl. It’s campy, it’s thrilling, it’s pure pop fantasy, and it’s the perfect visual intro to what’s clearly going to be a wild new era.
Go ahead, check it out below—you know you want to.
Of course, if you’ve been following Rapp’s musical journey, you’ll remember her 2022 debut EP Everything to Everyone, featuring gut-punch hits like Too Well and In the Kitchen. That project paved the way for her 2023 debut album Snow Angel, which became the highest-selling debut by a female artist in the U.S. that year. With over 1.4 billion streams to her name and a fandom that rivals any pop queen in the game, Rapp has more than proven she’s here to stay.
Now, with Leave Me Alone and Bite Me on the horizon, Reneé’s giving us even more of what we love: raw emotion, campy visuals, and queerness turned all the way up. We’ll be counting down the days ‘til August 1.
Leave Me Alone is available to stream on all major music platforms. You can pre-save Bite Me here. Follow us on X and Instagram for all queer stuff!
