Watch: Renee Rapp releases album, performs 'Shy' on 'Late Show'
The singer, 25, performed her song "Shy" on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Thursday.
The track appears on her new album Bite Me, which dropped Friday.
Rapp's performance included an elaborate set. She began singing seated on a desk inside an apparent apartment.
"Baby ruin my life. I want it bad I swear. And I'm really not scared, just a little bit shy," she sings.
As the song continues she climbs through the window and onto a fire escape.
Her album also includes the songs "Leave Me Alone," "Mad," "Why is She Still Here?" "Sometimes," "Kiss it Kiss it," "Good Girl," "I Can't Have You Around Me Anymore," "At Least I'm Hot," "I Think I Like You Better When You're Gone," "That's So Funny" and "You'd Like That Wouldn't You."
"The whole time making this I felt equal parts confident and equal parts embarrassed," she said in a post announcing the record. "I wanted to be brutally honest but I didn't want to be judged too hard. I wanted to poke-fun but I also wanted to be taken seriously."
She said that her sophomore album represents a contrast from her first, adding that it was "written for me and was made for you."
The release arrives ahead of her upcoming tour, which kicks off in Colorado on Sept. 23 and winds down in March in London.
She released her album Snow Angel in 2023.

"He Constantly Kissed His Dog": 22 Hilariously Petty Reasons Why People Dumped Their Partner
We recently asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us the pettiest reasons they broke up with someone, and their submissions are actually hysterical. Here's what they had to say: 1."I didn't go on a date with someone because they heard my accent (I'm from London) and asked how I 'got so good at talking American since it's not my first language.'' —steffimac25 2."We were selecting a movie at the video store (yes, I'm that old), and he went down a different aisle than I did. I turned the corner, and he was knuckle deep in his nose. He pulled out the biggest booger I've ever seen in my life and then rolled and flicked it. Date over." —smellychef995 3."He called me kiddo. I paused. Replayed it in my head in case I heard it wrong. I broke up with him right there and then. I have worked too hard for too long to be reduced to 'kiddo.'" —nastyskeleton263 4."I was dating this guy in high school who was very sweet but super shy, and we did NOT have the same sense of humor. When I broke up with him, I told him we just didn't have similar enough personalities, including a sense of humor. He asked what I meant, and I told him that I really love a good bit, and it's very important to me to laugh in a relationship. He looked super confused for a minute and then finally asked what a bit was. I knew it was for sure over then." —Anonymous, 20, Illinois 5."I dated this guy for a while, but couldn't get over how he constantly kissed his dog more than the average person. It was wild how much he showed affection to the dog over people." —Anonymous, 38, SC 6."She would refer to herself in the third person. She'd be like 'Well, Shelly doesn't like that.' WELL, GUESS WHAT? Jake doesn't like THAT." —Anonymous, 37 TX 7."In my opinion, this was not petty, but very much deserved. I had a pretty great boyfriend, aside from minimal red flags. Well, this man spent the night in my apartment. I was horrified to find that he both did not wash his hands and did not brush his teeth more than three times a week. I dumped him later that day." —Anonymous, 27 CA 8."I did not know what to get him for Christmas so I dumped him." —Anonymous 9."I hated the way he swallowed water from his water bottle. He'd throw his head back as far as it would go and hold the water bottle straight up. But the angle of his neck from being that far back made the water have to SQUUUIIIISSHHH through his esophagus, and it was always the loudest, squishiest gulping noise. I couldn't stand the sound anymore." —Anonymous, 48 Minneapolis 10."This man would text me with no punctuation. One of his literal texts he sent was this: 'okay sounds good I'll be there at 7 maybe idk it depends traffic has been crazy but good day how was yours' I mean, I could understand it, but I'm not finna decode a whole riddle every time I see your text bubble show up." —Anonymous, 35, NY 11."She said she didn't like cheesecake. I was looking forward to the last slice in the fridge. She ate it because she said there was nothing to eat. The house was full of food, she just didn't want to cook." —Anonymous, 40, Canada 12."We had been dating for a few months. We put on a movie for the kids, and I looked over and he was crying. It was Chicken Run. That was it for me." —Anonymous 13."I once broke up with a guy because I couldn't stand his laugh. And humor is my biggest turn-on! But his laugh was my biggest turn-off." —Anonymous, 41, Toronto 14."I found out his younger sister had the same name and hair color as me. He said and moaned the nickname he also used for her while we were doing the deed, and I couldn't help but think he was into his sister after that." —Anonymous, 28, USA 15."I dated a guy who looked amazing in real life and on paper. Handsome, tall, rich family, great school, was a doctor, dressed well, super hardworking, and texted back immediately. Literally everything you'd want in a partner. HOWEVER! He chewed very loudly with his mouth open all the time! Like I could fully see the back of his throat, and food would sometimes fall out of his mouth. We actually managed to somehow date each other for months while only going to the restaurant together twice, and I broke up with him after the second time because it gave me the ick to watch him eat." —Anonymous, 34, Chicago 16."He was an Android user." —Anonymous, 25, PA 17."I had started dating a guy who worked at Home Depot. Not my usual type, but he was nice and quite good-looking, so why not? A few weeks in, we were having drinks, and he mentioned that I would never guess his nickname at work. It was Hollywood. As a professional career woman, I and never saw him again." —Anonymous, 65, the villages fl 18."I broke up with my girlfriend because she would always put on lip gloss before we would make out." —Anonymous, 17, Indiana 19."I dumped her because of the sound of her voice. She was perfect in every way. Smart, funny, and beautiful. And we had so much in common. But I just couldn't stand listening to her talk. We broke up, and a year later, we met again, and I couldn't imagine why in the world I broke up with such a perfect creature. But one week later, I knew: it was the voice. I felt terrible about it, but I knew we couldn't stay together." —Anonymous, 50, Netherlands 20."I am Mexican with a large family. When I was 18, I was dating another Mexican with a large family. One weekend, we attended a family event for me on Saturday. There was drinking, eating, and so on. On Sunday, we were at a family event for her, and all the same stuff was happening. I realized I would be doubling the family nonsense I already deal with, and doubling it was not something I wanted. I broke up with her." —Anonymous, 53, Mexico 21."Bro really had the audacity to tell me he didn't like my cat." —Anonymous, 18 WI finally, "I didn't dump the guy, but he dumped me. We had an amazing lunch date. Went shopping for a few things. It was still early in the day, so we headed back to my house to hang out. We got back to my house, and he had 'an emergency.' He had two young kids, and I was like OK, cool, I'll talk to you later. He sent me a text about a half hour later, saying he didn't see our relationship going anywhere because I didn't 'need' him. I asked what he meant, and he said, 'You didn't ask me to hold any of your stuff when we were shopping, and you knew what you were looking for at Home Depot.' I guess being able to take care of myself is a problem?" —Anonymous, 41, Georgia What's the pettiest reason you dumped someone?

Deadheads flock to Golden Gate Park for second day of Grateful Dead's 60th anniversary celebrations
Tens of thousands of Deadheads packed San Francisco's Golden Gate Park on Saturday for the second day of a three-day concert series honoring the Grateful Dead's 60th anniversary. Fans traveled from across the country—and some from overseas—to take part in the milestone celebration. The show kicked off just after 4 p.m. on the Polo Field, which quickly filled as more concertgoers streamed in through the evening. Country rocker Sturgill Simpson opened the day's performances, with Dead & Company slated to headline later in the night. "Nothing's more important than going to a Dead show, man. It's the bomb," said Frank McGloin, a local fan from the Bay Area. The festivities extended well beyond the main stage. Earlier in the day, hundreds gathered in the city's Excelsior District—where Grateful Dead frontman Jerry Garcia grew up—for the 23rd annual Jerry Day at McLaren Park. At the Jerry Garcia Amphitheater, musicians filled the air with bluegrass and rock music, while fans danced barefoot in the grass and celebrated his legacy. "It's medicine music," said Antonio Aversano, a Deadhead from Sebastopol. "It's very spiritual—it's like going to church. It totally takes me out of my head and brings me into a connection with the divine." For Aversano, the entire weekend has been transformative. "The energy of the Summer of Love, the whole counterculture in the '60s—peace, love, community, celebration," he said. Many fans who attended Friday night's opening show planned to immerse themselves in every event throughout the weekend. "I think the Deadheads are probably the nicest, kindest people you'll ever meet in your life," said Maria Pruss, a fan from Southern California. "Huge community, big hearts." Deanna Neiers, who traveled from New York City with her two children, ages 7 and 9, brought a personal touch to the celebration. She and her kids designed and handed out custom-made stickers to commemorate the anniversary. "We made this special sticker to hand out to commemorate the 60th anniversary," Neiers said. "We've printed a bunch of them and we love the community. So we're just handing them out for free to everybody." A Deadhead for 35 years, Neiers said she attended Jerry Garcia's final concert in Chicago in 1995. "We wouldn't miss the chance to celebrate the 60th anniversary," she added. The concert series is also giving San Francisco's economy a welcome boost. City officials said hotels, restaurants, and local shops are seeing increased business from the influx of visitors. "When people come from all 50 states, all around the world, and they have a great time, which they are, they go home, they tell their friends, and those friends come back to San Francisco," said Mayor Daniel Lurie. "And we're going to welcome them with open arms." For Serena Cisco, who flew in from Nashville, the city's warm welcome stood out. It was her first visit in three decades. "Happy to be here. Thank you, San Francisco, for putting this on. The city has been so welcoming," she said. Though decades have passed since the Grateful Dead first took the stage, their music—and its messages of resilience and hope—continue to resonate deeply with fans. "The legacy of Jerry Garcia is certainly a message of positivity and hope," said Henry Wimmer of Open Mind Music. And for many Deadheads, like Aversano, the gathering is about more than just music. "This is about community. It's about getting along together. It's about celebrating life," he said. For those in attendance, there's little that compares to the feeling of being at a Dead show.

Guitarist Silas Luke Jones Receives Standing Ovation From ‘AGT' Judges For ‘Misirlou' Cover
19-year-old guitarist Silas Luke Jones has received a standing ovation from the America's Got Talent judges for his arresting cover of 'Misirlou.' Appearing on the Tuesday night (July 29) episode, Jones appeared as a somewhat shy performer from Homer, Alaska before he showed the judges just what he was made of. More from Billboard mgk, T-Pain & Zedd to Headline Stage Outside Sphere Over Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix 2025 Weekend Nick Cave Honored With Prestigious French Awards Paul Mario Day, Original Iron Maiden Vocalist, Dies at 69 Armed with an acoustic guitar and an extensive pedalboard, Jones had the audience on his side from the opening notes of 'Misirlou,' giving a small preview of what was to come by use of an EBow. Traditionally known as a Mediterranean folk song, the best-known version of 'Misirlou' comes from Dick Dale, whose 1962 surf-rock recording became a minor hit upon its release, and was later utilized in the opening credits to Quentin Tarantino's 1994 film, Pulp Fiction. Dale's recording was later heavily incorporated in the Black Eyed Peas' 2006 single, 'Pump It.' Jones, however, left the surf-rock stylings behind and instead delivered a solo rendition that relied heavily on open tunings and percussive techniques – winning the crowd over in the process and receiving high praise and a standing ovation from the judges. 'You became a rock star in front of our eyes,' noted Sofia Vergara, before Howie Mandel suggested Jones was 'like an Alaskan techno [Jimi] Hendrix.' 'If I turned away and I listened to what you were doing, I would've thought that was like five or six people on stage,' offered Mel B. 'You're one of a kind. You really are.' 'You're a very nice guy. Very humble, and then you just turn into that,' continued Simon Cowell. 'Actually, the guitar is not an easy instrument to do that with. 'What you did with that was extraordinary. You have a really real special talent here.' Jones ultimately walked away from his performance with four positive responses from the judges, and a promise that viewers haven't yet seen the last of him. America's Got Talent airs on NBC at 8 p.m. Tuesdays and streams on Peacock the next day. View Silas Luke Jones' performance of 'Misirlou' below.
