Aside from being a powerhouse vocalist, Reneé Rapp has gained quite the reputation for being a delightful loose cannon—and we’ve always loved her for it.
The singer-songwriter is officially back with a brand new song, “Leave Me Alone,” where she continues to express her no-cares-given attitude à la Snow Angel’s fan-favorite track, “Poison Poison.” While her devoted fans (otherwise known as Young Ex-Wives) praise her for her “lack of media training” and outspoken nature during interviews, Miss Reneé’s latest single proves that she’s been like this.
The hunger for more music from the star is insatiable, especially after she teased the track across social media. She first teased the single, as well as posters and merch featuring the title of her upcoming sophomore album Bite Me, with a snippet where she muses, “I’m a real bad girl / But a real good kisser.” It’s hot, it’s careless, it’s undoubtedly... Reneé.
So, without further ado, let’s get into Reneé Rapp’s “Leave Me Alone” lyrics and their potential meaning, because trust us when we say the track will be on blast all summer long.
Lyrics by Reneé Rapp
[Verse 1]
I’m a real bad girl but a real good kisser
(Leave me alone bitch, I wanna have fun)
Got my hair tied up, phone on don’t disturb
(Leave me alone bitch, I wanna have fun)
With my jeans so low, show my little back dimples
(Leave me alone bitch, I wanna have fun)
Even lined my lips just to match my nipples
(Leave me alone bitch, I wanna have fun)
@ Reneé, we get it. You’re hot.
[Chorus]
Can I tell you a secret?
I’m so sick of it all (uh huh)
Come get wet in the deep end
T-t-t-take it off, c-c-c-cannonball
Along with a confessional, we get some hot, fun, sexy summer vibes on this chorus.
[Verse 2]
Manager called me, said “Where’s the single?”
(Leave me alone bitch, I wanna have fun)
Oh, you’re breaking up, babe, I don’t got no signal
(Leave me alone bitch, I wanna have fun)
Sign a hundred NDAs but I’ll still say something
(Leave me alone bitch, I wanna have fun)
I take my sex life with me, now the show ain’t fuckin’
(Leave me alone bitch, I wanna have fun)
She spills some more on the second verse and pokes fun at the anticipation for her new music (which, thankfully, is finally upon us). Toward the end, she mentions how she remains outspoken despite signing nondisclosure agreements.
While it’s not confirmed, fans theorize that she could be referring to the end of her time on The Sex Lives of College Girls, especially with the final line (I take my sex life with me, now the show ain’t fuckin’). This could allude to a potential decrease in sex scenes from the show since she left in season 3, but it’s unclear.
In 2024, she opened up about her departure in an interview with Vanity Fair, saying that some of her castmates allegedly “questioned her bisexuality” at the time. “The people in my life that I work with now care about me as a person. And I think that is a difference from things I’ve experienced in the past,” she told the outlet. In a separate interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she shared that it was “hard to leave” the show for so many reasons, including her personal journey with coming to terms with her sexuality.
“I was in a relationship with a man, incredibly confused, unsure of myself, feeling so insecure in my acting. And I watched the scene the other day, and I was like, ‘Wow, I feel so lucky to have that,’” she said of her emotional coming out season in the show’s first season.
[Chorus]
Can I tell you a secret?
I’m so sick of it all (uh huh)
Come get wet in the deep end
T-t-t-take it off, c-c-c-cannonball
Can I tell you a secret? (Tell you a secret)
I’m so sick of it all (Sick of it all)
Come get wet in the deep end
T-t-t-take it off, c-c-c-cannonball
[Verse 3 / Outro]
Party in the hills, people trying to talk business
(Leave me alone bitch, I wanna have fun)
I just wanna dance, don’t take my picture
(Leave me alone bitch, I wanna have fun)
My ex walked in and my other ex with her
(Leave me alone bitch, I wanna have fun)
The three of us together, that’s a real tongue twister
(Leave me alone bitch, I wanna have fun)
In the final verse of the song, Reneé calls out clout chasers and paparazzi before facing two of her exes who walked in together. The last line brings a double entendre thanks to its “tongue twister,” which could either symbolize the awkwardness of all these exes being in the same room—or how they release their energy into a ménage à trois.
