Reneé Rapp delivers stripped-back live performance of new single “Why Is She Still Here?” from BITE ME.
Reneé Rapp’s latest single “Why Is She Still Here?” marks another step forward in the journey to her sophomore album BITE ME, arriving August 1 via Polydor Records. The track is accompanied by a striking live visualizer that puts Rapp’s unfiltered vocal power front and center, under the simplicity of a single spotlight.
This release continues the narrative she’s building around BITE ME, a project centered on emotional reclamation and self-expression. The BITE.ME website — a creative puzzle launched earlier this summer — invited fans to explore cryptic album teasers, ultimately sparking viral engagement across platforms.
“Why Is She Still Here?” follows earlier tracks “Leave Me Alone” and “Mad,” each of which received major televised debuts, further defining the album’s emotionally rich and performance-driven approach. 
Rapp is also set to embark on the BITE ME North American headlining tour beginning September 23. Her largest tour to date, the run includes 16 cities and headline shows at Madison Square Garden, TD Garden, and The Kia Forum.
This new phase follows a breakthrough year in 2023. With the success of Snow Angel, her acclaimed debut album, and a hit single with Megan Thee Stallion for the Mean Girls film, Rapp now steps confidently into a new creative chapter — and “Why Is She Still Here?” is a key piece of that evolution.
