Reneé Rapp Releases New Song “Mad”
American actress and singer-songwriter Reneé Rapp will release her sophomore album “BITE ME” on August 1, 2025 via Interscope Records.
The album is her first body of work in two years since the 2023 debut album “Snow Angel” and comprises 12 tracks.
On the album, she worked with American singer-songwriter Alexander 23 again, who co-wrote and produced, as with her debut album.
From the album, she unveiled a new song “Mad” on June 27, 2025.
The song is the second single off of the album, following “Leave Me Alone” released last month.
It was written by Alexander 23, Ali Tamposi, Omer Fedi, and Reneé Rapp. Produced by Omer Fedi, Carter Lang, and Solomonophonic.
The accompanying music video was directed by Luke Orlando, starring Reneé Rapp and Alexandra Shipp.
The clip represents the raw frustration of unreciprocated desire.
Reneé Rapp told PAPER Magazine about the song, “I think 'Mad' is the best pop song on the album. It's one of the best songs I've ever made.”- She said of the album in an interview with PAPER Magazine, “My biggest hope is that people walk away with a certain sense of comfort in the range of their emotions. I have often been deemed too aggressive, too mean or too nice or disingenuous. You'll get labeled with whatever, which is totally fine. It's the nature of the job.”
She continued, “But I think that the whole energy of BITE ME is respectfully get the fuck outta my face. And that's fine. I am fine getting mad. I'm fine with anger. I'm fine with aggression. I'm fine with frustration. I'm fine with crying. I'm fine with loving. I'm fine with anything. Any emotion is on the table. You can only be a full human being if you allow yourself to experience all of those emotions. I hope people love it as much as I do. And honestly, if they don't, that's cool, because I am obsessed with it. So that also feels really good to be like, regardless, this is spectacular for me.” -
Reneé Rapp embarks on BITE ME TOUR in support of the album this fall. American singe-songwriters Syd and Ravyn Lenae will support the tour.
The tour kicks off at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO on September 23 and will conclude at Spectrum Center in Charlotte, NC on October 29, 20225.
