Reneé Rapp is airing out The Sex Lives of College Girls.

The actor and singer on Wednesday revealed the title and release date of her new album and dropped a song and video, “Leave Me Alone,” where she takes thinly veiled shots at her former series.

The early-2000s-style pop-rock song sees Rapp flirting with freedom and a desire to be left to her own devices. The track will live on her album Bite Me, out Aug. 1.  

While dissing her manager and exes, the Mean Girls star also calls out her old show, tauntingly singing: “Sign a hundred NDAs but I still say something / I took my sex life with me, now the show ain’t fucking.”

Do remember Rapp left The Sex Lives of College Girls after a season and change. The show was cancelled last year, after its third season. 

Rapp opened up about her departure to Vanity Fair in 2024 while promoting Mean Girls. 

“The people in my life that I work with now care about me as a person,” she said at the time. “And I that is a difference from things I’ve experienced in the past.”

She sang a different tune when she announced she was leaving the show in 2023. 

“College girls moved me out to L.A. and introduced me to some of my favorite people,” she wrote on Instagram. “Two and a half years later–it’s given me y’all and this community. Thank u Mindy,. Justin and everyone at Max for believing in me. A lot of queer work gets belittled — but playing Leighton has changed my life. I love who I am 10x more than I did before knowing her. I hope she gave y’all a little bit of that too. She’s such a tiny part of representation but even the tiny parts count. I wouldn’t be half the person I am without her and y’all. I love that bitch more than you know. I’m so excited for this season and I can’t wait for you to see what we have coming for her and the girls.”

“Leave Me Alone” is the first piece of new music from Rapp since her debut album, Snow Angel, from 2023. Her website says Bite Me “encourages listeners to embrace every facet of their personality, the chaotic and the confident and to be authentically, unapologetically themselves. It’s raw, unfiltered, and vulnerable album about self-acceptance in its truest form, and like Rapp herself, creates a community for unfiltered self-expression.”
