Multi-hyphenate Reneé Rapp is sharing her new single "Not My Fault" with three-time Grammy-winning singer Megan Thee Stallion for the upcoming soundtrack to Mean Girls. Sampling an audio clip from the original 2004 film — in which Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan) yells at her best friend Janis (Lizzy Caplan) that "it’s not my fault that you're, like, in love with me or something" — Rapp and Megan flex their "hot girl" status throughout this slick dance track.

"Not My Fault" was first announced by Megan earlier this week via a post on Rapp's Instagram account.

For Rapp, the single with one of the country's hottest rappers comes at the end of a breakout year. Her debut album Snow Angel, released on August 18th, earned the biggest US first-week sales for a debut female album in 2023. She also stars in the Mean Girls reboot as the queen bee of North Shore High School Regina George, reprising her role from the Broadway musical on which the film is partially based.

"Not My Fault" is one of two new movie soundtrack songs that Megan Thee Stallion has out today, Dec. 15. She'’s also on the Color Purple track "Hell No! (Timbaland Remix)" and released the single "Cobra" last month.
