Reneé Rapp announces new album ‘BITE ME,’ dropping August 1

Singer and actor Reneé Rapp has announced her second studio album, which seems to have an interesting name - BITE ME and it will be released on August 1, 2025. She shared the news on May 21, along with the first single from the album, called “Leave Me Alone.” As soon as she posted the video, it got tons of views, and many fans think the lyrics share her feelings about past experiences.

Reneé Rapp's first album, Snow Angel, came out in 2023. That album had songs about heartbreak, emotions, and growing up. But this new album, BITE ME, seems to have a stronger tone. This new album will be released under Interscope Records and will be available on music platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.

Reneé Rapp's BITE ME gives a preview of what to expect

The lead single from BITE ME is called “Leave Me Alone.” It was released on May 21. In this song, Reneé Rapp seems to talk about wanting space from people and wanting to have more control in her life. One line in the song says:

“I took my s*x life with me, now the show ain’t f---ing / Leave me alone, bitch, I wanna have fun.”

Many people believe this line is about her time on The Sex Lives of College Girls, a show she starred in on HBO. Reneé Rapp left the show in 2023, after two seasons. She has talked about being thankful for the role, but she also said she had some issues during that time.

The show was officially cancelled in March 2025. The timing of the song and the lyrics have made people think Rapp is now sharing her real thoughts in her music. However, Rapp has not directly said who or what the lyrics are about.

The song also has a music video, which shows Rapp in different outfits and settings. In one scene, she is wearing a crown and holding a bat. Some people think this shows she is taking back her power and standing up for herself.

The album might show a new side of Reneé Rapp

Reneé Rapp first became famous for playing Regina George in the Broadway version of Mean Girls. Later, she acted in the TV series The Sex Lives of College Girls. After that, she started making music and quickly became popular for her honest lyrics and strong voice. Her first album, Snow Angel, came out in 2023. It had songs like “Talk Too Much,” “Pretty Girls,” and “So What Now.” That album was about her feelings, heartbreaks, and learning more about herself.

But BITE ME seems different. Based on the first song and her recent interviews, this album might be more direct. Rapp said in a post that she wrote this album when she was very angry, very sad, and very lonely. She also said it helped her heal. This could mean the songs will be more raw and personal. Fans may get to see a side of Reneé Rapp they haven’t seen before. She hasn’t shared the full tracklist yet, but people are already excited to hear what she has to say.

So far, there has been no word about a tour, but fans are hoping she will perform the new songs live later this year. BITE ME will be Reneé Rapp's second full album. It follows her first album and her rise in both acting and music. She is still only 24 years old, but she has already done a lot in her career. This new album could be another big step forward for her.
