Reneé Rapp's 'Mad' Lyrics Release the Frustration of Fighting With Your Significant Other
Reneé Rapp is on a roll. She not only dropped 'Leave Me Alone' last month but also performed at the American Music Awards, graced the cover of Cosmopolitan, and announced her first headlining arena tour. As her sophomore album, Bite Me, is set to hit streaming services on August 1, the powerhouse vocalist is giving us another taste with her new single, 'Mad.' The song, which Reneé wrote alongside longtime collaborator Alexander 23, Ali Tamposi, and Omer Fedi (who happens to be Addison Rae's boyfriend, ICYMI), taps into the frustration we tend to feel in the middle of a fight with our significant other. Her punchy delivery is as playful as it is honest, as she sings about wanting to work through an argument so she can go back to the good vibes of her honeymoon phase. Ahead, we break down Reneé Rapp's 'Mad' lyrics and their potential meaning, because you have to be prepared for the Bite Me Tour. Duh. Lyrics written by Reneé Rapp, Alexander Glantz, Omer Fedi, and Ali Tamposi [Verse 1] Take five, we've been at it all night Not a sorry in the world I ain't already said Ugh, Christ, getting hard to be nice Not a single little curl on your head, don't want me dead Okay, I get it, you wanna be mad I wish I could take that pretty little face And shake some sense into you like Reneé sets the scene of a seemingly never-ending argument with a scorned lover. She's already apologized profusely, but is hitting a dead end when her partner is still upset. During her Cosmopolitan cover story, Reneé opened up about her relationship with Towa Bird (who could be the 'pretty little head' the curl she sings about is perched upon) and whether they fight. 'First of all, healthy relationships fight! Our first fight was probably when I was drunk. When I go out, I often stop making sense,' she said. 'Towa was trying to get my attention and tapped my shoulder. I felt nothing. And she was like, 'I've been trying to get your attention for half an hour.' And I looked over, like, 'When?' She thought I was kidding because it was so unbelievable, which I understand.' [Chorus] Hey, you! All of the time you wasted being mad We 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 have been getting all of my time But you were being mad Instead of using their energy to fight, Reneé suggests going back to the way things were during the chorus. While she hasn't revealed whether the song is explicitly about a heated moment with Towa, she gushed about their romance ahead of its drop. 'She's my best friend. I worship her. I love talking to her, and I also just love watching her talk. There's something so special about watching the person you are deeply enamored with talk about something they find interesting that has nothing to do with you,' Reneé told Cosmo. She added, 'Which is rare, because I think I'm the center of everyone's world and especially hers—and I am, clock it—but hearing her talk about streaming her shit [on Twitch], she's just such a little freak. She's this hot, sexy, intimidating thing, but I know a side of her that's such a weirdo.' [Verse 2] Okay, you can pout your lips Puff on a cigarette, face all Marlboro red Slow down, put my finger in your mout,h pull the bitter taste out Baby, you can have me instead Okay, I get it, you wanna be mad I wish I could take that pretty little face And shake some sense into you like On the second verse, she attempts to ease the blow with seduction tactics. They don't seem to be working, as she bursts into the chorus again. [Chorus] [Bridge] Don't give me the shoulder Come get closer God, it's pissing me off I wanna get mad at you right back at you But it's kind of hot She wants to move past their issues and get back to being lovers. And, sometimes, the heat of the argument can translate into incredible makeup sex. [Chorus/Outro] All of the time you wasted being mad We could have been cute, and we could have been stupid Hey, you All of the time you were fucking with my head We could have been having sex You could have been getting all of my time But you were being mad You could've been getting head

Kylie Jenner's Daughter Hilariously Shades Her Mom's Past Fashion Choices in Sassy Video
Kylie Jenner's Daughter Hilariously Shades Her Mom's Past Fashion Choices in Sassy Video originally appeared on Parade. Tough crowd! Kylie Jenner shared a TikTok video showing her daughter a throwback photo of her wearing a blue wig in her "King Kylie" era, and Stormi Webster didn't hold back with her opinion on the bold look. Watch the sassy moment below! "Why are you so shocked?" Jenner asks a stunned Webster, who is staring at the phone with her mouth hanging open. "Did you dye your hair in that photo?" the spunky 7-year-old asks. When Jenner admits it wasn't real, saying "Mommy used to love wearing wigs," Webster threw some serious shade. "A blue wig with a red outfit?!" she asks, hands on her hips. "It's not a good combo!" A laughing Jenner admits it wasn't her best look, while Webster teases, "That's what she gets!" to the camera. The photo in question features Jenner out for a night of partying at The Nice Guy in Los Angeles in 2016. In it, she's wearing a red oversized t-shirt, thigh-high black boots, and, of course, a long, wavy teal wig with wispy bangs. However, it's far from the only time Jenner rocked the color combo that her daughter dubbed "bad." In 2014, she stepped out at the American Music Awards with teal hair and a long satin burgundy gown. The same year, she wore her long blue locks with a red apron while volunteering at the Los Angeles Mission for the Anne Douglas Center's Thanksgiving Meal For The Homeless. Fans quickly jumped to Jenner's defense for the look in the comments. "Stormi, only Mommy coulda pulled it off," said one fan, while another added, "I can't wait until she fully understands the cultural significance of the King Kylie era!" A third told Webster not to bite the hand that feeds her, adding, "She doesn't know King Kylie paid for that house." Kylie Jenner's Daughter Hilariously Shades Her Mom's Past Fashion Choices in Sassy Video first appeared on Parade on Jun 17, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 17, 2025, where it first appeared.
