Lady Gaga and Doechii Release Runway for The Devil Wears Prada 2

Lady Gaga and Doechii have released an original collaboration titled Runway for the upcoming film The Devil Wears Prada 2. The single, which was first teased in the final trailer for the movie, was officially released on April 9, 2026.

The upbeat dance track is named after the fictional fashion magazine that serves as the central setting for the film series. The song features Doechii singing Serve a little sass, with a little side of ass, do a little twirl, while Lady Gaga contributes the lines I’m feeling fab, I’m feeling free, I feel exceptionally. The duo performs the chorus together, stating that they Monday through Sunday, can turn the dancefloor into a runway, and concludes the track with the repeated phrase You were born for the runway.

Production and Songwriting Credits

The production of Runway involved several high-profile collaborators. The track was co-produced by Bruno Mars, Andrew Watt, Cirkut, and Dernst D’Mile Emile II. Andrew Watt also served as one of the co-writers alongside Lady Gaga, Doechii, Bruno Mars, Cirkut, D’Mile, and Jayda Love. Some reports also credit Jaylah Hickmon as a co-writer.

This collaboration marks the first time Lady Gaga and Doechii have worked together on a recording, though the artists have previously expressed mutual admiration for each other’s work.

Details of The Devil Wears Prada 2

Scheduled for release in theaters on May 1, 2026, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is a sequel to the 2006 film. The plot follows Andy Sachs, played by Anne Hathaway, as she reunites with her former boss and Runway editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep. The story focuses on the pair attempting to save the publication during a scandal and the general decline of print journalism.

The film features the return of original cast members Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci. New additions to the cast include Justin Theroux, Kenneth Branagh, Tracie Thoms, and Simone Ashley. Lady Gaga is also set to make a cameo appearance in the film, marking her first film role since 2024’s Joker: Folie à Deux.

Professional Relationship Between Gaga and Doechii

The collaboration follows a period of public support between the two artists. On March 17, 2025, at the iHeartRadio Music Awards held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, Doechii presented Lady Gaga with the Innovator Award. During the event, Doechii identified as a Little Monster and stated that Gaga had served as a lifeline for young queer kids by teaching them it was acceptable to be their real selves.

Lady Gaga spoke about Doechii’s talent in a 2025 interview with British Vogue, noting the artist’s raw, deeply personal perspective and emotional precision.

You don’t often see someone come out of the gate with a pen that feels immediately legendary. That’s Doechii to me.
