The song is a re-released alternate version of her single Still Bad, which originally debuted in March.
The upbeat pop number shows clips of the Good As Hell singer arriving at the Vogue-run gala in a black and white two-toned gown before cutting to footage of her running through the streets of New York City, partying in an arcade and lip syncing in a limousine.
'I like the demo version more and I had people in my head telling me that it wasn't good enough,' she wrote on BlueSky of the decision to re-release the song.

'But I'm learning it's not about what's good enough, it's about what I WANT.'
Her upcoming album, Love In Real Life, is due to be released this summer.
The album will mark her first since the musician and her production company were sued by ex-dancers Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez, who made a number of claims, including allegations of sexual, religious and racial harassment.
At the time, the singer, 37, said the claims were 'as unbelievable as they sound' and insisted she would 'not let the good work I've done in the world be overshadowed by this'.

Her first single since the scandal, Love in Real Life, was released in February.
Fans speculated over her return to music after the Grammy Award-winner posted a video of her spray painting the words 'bye bitch' on to a large printout of her album cover Special on Valentine's Day.

Earlier in the month, it was reported she had told a Twitch stream about her plans, saying: 'I've been working on new music for the last two years.'
In 2023 she released the song Pink, which featured on the Barbie movie soundtrack, and a remix of the song Special.

A month after the allegations in August 2023, similar claims were made against Lizzo by stylist Asha Daniels, who said she was subject to racial and sexual harassment and a hostile work environment while on tour with Lizzo.
A US judge dismissed the specific allegations against Lizzo.

Lizzo jokes while posing in front the Eiffel Tower in figure-hugging metallic gown
Lizzo showed off her 'back fat' as she slipped her curves into a figure-hugging metallic gown in a sizzling new snap amid her getaway to Paris. The 37-year-old looked incredible while modeling the shimmering champagne garment as she struck a pose on a rooftop during her trip to the French capital on Wednesday. While the singer looked great from the back, further snaps on her Instagram showed Lizzo wowing from the front too, as she went braless in the golden ensemble. Lizzo oozed confidence as she tipped her head back and ran her hand through her hair in the jaw-dropping images that showed the Eiffel Tower in the background. The star, who recently wowed fans with her weight loss, looked happy and at ease in the images, which she captioned: 'Issa back fat summer.' Lizzo has clearly been enjoying her time in summer, having snapped further photos in the same location just days before.

‘Don't feel like you have to stop at one': the shiny, thrifty brooch revival
The white gold and diamond brooch set like a moving snake was not the first time Zendaya wore the jewellery category most associated with grandmothers. But due to its placement, it might have been the most talked about. In attendance at the Met gala, the Dune actor pinned the Bulgari brooch to the back of her white Louis Vuitton suit. 'The Met Gala really was prime time for brooches,' Melbourne stylist Stuart Walford says. While fashion critics have heralded the brooch's return to menswear for several seasons, lately it has found its way to women's lapels too. Also at the Met Gala, Sarah Snook pinned a cluster of silver brooches from Rahaminov Diamonds and Saidian Vintage Jewels to her blazer, Aimee Lou Wood and Doja Cat both wore brooches in the shape of flowers covered in tiny diamonds (by Cartier and David Webb respectively), while the event's host, Anna Wintour, complimented her pale blue suit with an antique brooch by Lydia Courteille. At the SNL 50th reunion Tina Fey wore an art deco T-shaped brooch, Cynthia Erivo wore several to the 56th NAACP Image Awards and, more than once, the fashion writer Leandra Medine Cohen has featured a 1930s Jean Cocteau fish pin on her Substack, The Cereal Aisle. The brooch also remained the accessory of choice for men at the Oscars with Kieran Culkin, Adrien Brody and Colman Domingo prettifying their suits with ones shaped like tear drops, feathers and ribbons – in that order. Perhaps unsurprisingly given their prominence on the red carpet, it's hard to find a major fashion house that doesn't have a brooch in its recent collections, from Gucci to Loewe and Schiaparelli. In Australia, designers Carla Zampatti, Edward Cuming and Mimco are also selling brooches. Sign up for the fun stuff with our rundown of must-reads, pop culture and tips for the weekend, every Saturday morning For Sydney jeweller Lucas Blacker, a brooch is 'almost like a tattoo'. 'It is a sign from the wearer to show their personality,' Blacker says. At his studio, Black Cicada, he is seeing more clients wanting to repurpose inherited jewellery or pieces they aren't wearing by turning them into brooches. Olivia Cummings, the jewellery designer behind Cleopatra's Bling, says: 'Brooches require care in their placement and a sense of ceremony in their wearing. I think people are craving that now.' The personal statement brooch has deep roots, evolving from simple pins used to hold garments closed in the bronze age to intricate adornments that communicated class, religion and marital status in ancient Rome. In the 18th and 19th centuries, brooches became the original Instagram-holiday-post, featuring micro mosaics of the European tourist towns they were bought in. More recently, the brooches of Madeleine Albright and Queen Elizabeth II were rumoured to carry coded messages. 'Brooches are conversation starters, that's what makes them so special,' Walford says. Sign up to Saved for Later Catch up on the fun stuff with Guardian Australia's culture and lifestyle rundown of pop culture, trends and tips after newsletter promotion In some ways the brooch's rising popularity is consistent with the lipstick indicator, which suggests when economic times are tough people cut back on big purchases and turn to small, affordable luxuries – such as lipstick or, according to Walford, brooches. The financial appeal is twofold: they are a great item to thrift and they help the wearer freshen up their existing wardrobe without buying an entirely new outfit, he says. When styling brooches, Walford recommends balancing the proportions with the size of your lapel. 'If it's narrow, keep things small and delicate. For a large and oversized 80s-style lapel, you could go big.' 'Don't feel like you have to stop at one – if we learned anything from this year's Met Gala, it's that a brooch can be layered and stacked.' Alternatively, take a leaf out of Zendaya's book and fasten one to the back of a coat or dress – just watch out for your handbag strap if you do it. 'There are no rules,' Cummings says. 'I also love to wear them over the top button of a shirt or pinned to a straw hat in summer.' A brooch is a great way to break up an all-black outfit, to fasten a scarf thrown over the shoulders or to add some sparkle to a basket or handbag. If you're looking to start, or add to, a brooch collection, try searching for vintage brooches on secondhand sites such as Vestiaire Collective or online marketplaces such as Etsy, eBay and 1stDibs – the results page feels like rifling through a wealthy, bohemian grandmother's jewellery box. Antique stores and vintage markets also often have extensive brooch collections, if you prefer to peruse in real life. From gold nose-and-mouth sculptures by Salvador Dalí to 1980s Lanvin flowers and enamel and rhinestone sea shells – each pin contains the possibility of another, fancier world. At their best, brooches should feel like small sculptures – striking from afar but still full of detail when you come closer, Cummings says. 'Weight and balance are important but above all it should carry a sense of story.'
