Reneé Rapp has dropped her explosive new single Leave Me Alone as she shades Sex Lives of College Girls and spills secrets despite NDAs.
Reneé Rapp is done keeping quiet—and she’s making sure everyone hears her loud and clear on her brand new single “Leave Me Alone.” Marking her first lead release since her breakout debut album Snow Angel dropped two years ago, the pop powerhouse returns with a vengeance, unloading a chaotic, carefree anthem that doubles as a not-so-subtle tell-all.
On the biting new track, Reneé Rapp throws shade at multiple targets, most notably The Sex Lives of College Girls, the HBO Max series she exited after two seasons. The show was officially cancelled following its third season, but Reneé Rapp had long moved on—literally and musically. “Signed a hundred NDAs but I still say something/Leave me alone, bitch, I wanna have fun/Took my sex life with me, now the show ain’t fuckin’,” she belts over thunderous drums and electric guitars. And that’s just the beginning.
The single also calls out the pressure she felt from her label to deliver more music, with Reneé Rapp admitting: “Can I tell you a secret/I’m so sick of it all.” It’s a sharp turn from the polished vulnerability of Snow Angel, showing a new edge and an artist less willing to play by anyone else’s rules.
Back in 2023, Reneé Rapp opened up to Rolling Stone about the whirlwind pace of her career—juggling 14-hour shoot days while trying to write her debut album. “Everything happens at fucking once,” she said. “I overextended myself. But I’m glad I did. I’m not big into regrets.” Now, with “Leave Me Alone,” she’s reclaiming control—and proving that sometimes, fun comes first.
And while she’s giving the industry a middle finger, she’s still showing up in major ways. The release of “Leave Me Alone” leads right into her highly-anticipated debut performance at the American Music Awards, airing live from the Fountainbleau Las Vegas on CBS and streaming on Paramount+ on Monday, May 26.
With packed festivals, a headline tour, a starring role in the Mean Girls movie musical, and now this fiery single, Reneé Rapp is making one thing crystal clear: she’s not here to play by the rules—she’s here to break them.
