Reneé Rapp Delivers a Message to Her Salty Ex in “Mad’
Lesbian pop has never been stronger. From Chappell Roan to girl in red to theatre kid turned pop icon Reneé Rapp. The rising star announced her second album Bite Me in May and the lead single “Leave Me Alone” was immediately loved by fans. Now Rapp is sharing the second single, “Mad,” a message to a salty ex.
Rapp is no stranger to telling it like it is. From her viral interview clips to the catchy lyrics found in her previous single “Leave Me Alone," Rapp’s confidence and self assurance is palpable and “Mad” is no exception. Rapp sets the scene for listeners, bringing us in at the heat of a fight, when she and her partner are going in circles and need to take a moment. Despite Rapp’s best attempts, her partner is still mad and still wants to fight. The song’s chorus highlights the singer’s frustration, with Rapp calling out her ex for getting worked up over nothing and focusing on the small petty things, when they could’ve been having fun instead. An explosive instrumentation backs Rapp’s powerful vocals as she sings “Hey you / All of the time you wasted being mad / When you could’ve been cute and / we could’ve been stupid / Hey you / All of the time you wasted in your head / We could’ve been having sex / You could’ve been getting all of my time / But you’re being mad.”
The single’s release comes days after the announcement of the BITE ME North American Tour. Rapp will be embarking on her largest tour yet, including stops at iconic venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Madison Square Garden, and the Saturday headline slot at All Things Go Toronto. It’s set to be a busy year for the pop star and we can’t wait to be there for every moment.
