Bite Me is the upcoming second studio album by the American singer Reneé Rapp. It is set to be released on August 1, 2025, by Interscope Records. It follows up her debut album, Snow Angel (2023), and it is supported by the release of singles "Leave Me Alone" and "Mad".

Background and development

In 2022, Reneé Rapp signed a recording contract with Interscope Records.[1] During an appearance on a July 2024 episode of the Instagram podcast Close Friends Only, Rapp disclosed she had been working on a follow-up to 2023's Snow Angel and described the album as deeply personal and emotionally messy "in the best way".[2][3] In March 2025, while attending the Vanity Fair Oscars Party, when questioned about new music, Rapp joked "I quit, it's all over," while also teasing she had been listening to her own music as of late.[4] Two months later, Rapp—with the help of Paris Hilton and Charlize Theron, among others—began teasing the album on social media before announcing the album's title and release date on May 21, 2025, alongside the release of the lead single, "Leave Me Alone".[5][6][7]

In a feature interview with Paper, published on June 27, 2025, Rapp revealed she was insanely proud of the album, stating: "This is exactly what I live and breathe. This is me at this point in my life, an album and a world that is really easy to step into." She also expressed that despite feeling "unbridled joy", she was also beginning to feel anxious and nervous in lead-up to the album's release, revealing: "I hope it continues to feel fun." "Mad" and "Why Is She Still Here" were also revealed two songs to be included on the album.[8]

Promotion

The lead single, "Leave Me Alone", was released on May 21, 2025,[9] alongisde its music video.[10] In response to the song's release, Them warned for a "(Reneé) Rapp summer".[11] The New York Times listed the song at number two on their list of "8 Rising Pop Girls You Should Hear Now".[12] She performed the song at the American Music Awards of 2025 on May 26.[13] Rapp performed at Capital's Summertime Ball on June 15, 2025, at Wembley Stadium.[14][15][16] On June 23, 2025, Rapp announced the Bite Me Tour, in support of the album.[17][18] Ravyn Lenae and Syd will serve as supporting acts.[19][20]

Rapp performed on Today as part of their Citi Concert Series on June 27, 2025.[21][22] The same day, "Mad" was released as the album's second single,[23][24] alongside its music video, which featured actress Alexandra Shipp as Rapp's love interest.[25] Uproxx described the video as hedonistic.[26] In reviews of the song, Them described it as "an impassioned plea for a lover to get over their bad attitude" while spending "more time in bed";[27] Samantha Olson of Cosmopolitan headlined the lyrics released the "frustration of fighting with your significant other".[28]
