Reneé Rapp’s ‘Bite Me’ Isn’t Just an Album — It’s a Loud, Proud Clapback
So, let’s talk about Reneé Rapp and her new album Bite Me — because this one isn’t just music, it’s a full-on moment. From the start, Reneé made it clear this wasn’t going to be just another collection of tracks. She set out to love what she was making, and more importantly, to be proud of it — regardless of what anyone else thought. And honestly, you can feel that intention in every beat.
If her debut album Snow Angel was about discovering her sound, Bite Me is her knowing exactly who she is — and refusing to apologize for it. Over the past two years, her life has been a whirlwind: she left HBO’s Sex Lives of College Girls , took on the iconic role of Regina George in the 2024 Mean Girls remake, and was constantly under pressure to keep delivering. That noise? She’s turned it into art.

The lead single, Leave Me Alone , sets the tone perfectly. It’s clever, restrained, and packed with pointed lyrics that call out public perception, the media, and the relentless expectations placed on her. It’s basically Reneé saying, “Yeah, I hear what you’re all saying — and I’m not playing along.” And the title Bite Me ? Both a challenge and a wink.
She’s also leaned into visuals that mock her public image — like posing in fake tabloid covers dressed like a dramatic celebrity stereotype for the track Mad . She’s in on the joke, and she’s flipping the script with confidence.
But beneath the sass and satire, there’s real vulnerability. Tracks like That’s So Funny unpack heartbreak and the end of friendships with soaring vocals and raw emotion. It’s balanced out with lighter moments too, like At Least I’m Hot , a playful anthem that features her girlfriend, Towa Bird. It's cheeky, it’s fun, and it's a love letter to queer joy and the people who matter.
Through it all, Reneé’s lyricism feels honest and conversational — like she’s talking to you, not at you. She admits to feeling isolated, even while being constantly surrounded. That push-pull between being seen and feeling alone is something she taps into powerfully across the album.
And she’s not just making music — she’s showing up. In June, she served as a grand marshal at World Pride in D.C., standing proudly with queer icons like Laverne Cox. For Reneé, being loud about her identity is more than symbolic — it’s necessary.
With a tour kicking off at Red Rocks and major stops like Madison Square Garden and the All Things Go Festival in Toronto, it’s clear Bite Me isn’t just a record — it’s a movement. And honestly? Everyone wants in.
