Bite Me is the singer’s second studio album, which follows the emotional rollercoaster of her full-length debut Snow Angel. At the time of the album announcement, Rapp shared the blustering “Leave Me Alone” and followed it with the playful “Mad.” Those initial previews into Bite Me offered a pop rock emphasis, while “Why Is She Still Here?” slows things down a bit and recalls the singer’s earlier work.
New social media posts seem to confirm live dates between September and October
Critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Reneé Rapp has revealed her latest single “Mad” from her forthcoming sophomore album BITE ME (out August 1st via Interscope Records.) The “Mad” music video, which co-stars Reneé Rapp and Alexandra Shipp (Barbie, Tick Tick Boom, etc.), sets the scene for one couple’s emotional unraveling, happening within the confines of a luxurious hotel room.
Why you mad? Reneé Rapp‘s love interest is choosing chaos and anger over cuddles on Rapp’s new single “Mad,” which was released Friday. On the rocky track, Rapp sings to a partner who’s clearly pissed, even though they could be doing something way more fun.
“All of the time you wasted being mad/We could’ve been cute and we could’ve been stupid,” Rapp sings on the chorus. “Hey, you/All of the time, you wasted in your head/We could’ve been having sex.”
The sultry video follows Rapp and actress Alexandra Shipp, who plays her love interest, from inside a fancy hotel room. The song devolves into chaos, and the two have a cold-shoulder fight.
Following in the cheeky nature of single “Leave Me Alone,” she later sings in the chorus: “God, it’s pissing me off/I wanna get mad at you, right back at you but/It’s kinda hot.”
