Lady Gaga’s surprise single drop

Lady Gaga and Doechii released “Runway” on April 10, tying a new single directly to *The Devil Wears Prada 2* three weeks before the film’s May 1 debut. (music.apple.com) (20thcenturystudios.com) Apple Music lists “Runway” as a one-song single released on April 10, 2026, with a runtime of 2 minutes and credits to Lady Gaga and Doechii. (music.apple.com) Film Music Reporter said Interscope Records and Capitol Records released the track as an original song from *The Devil Wears Prada 2*, and said Bruno Mars, Andrew Watt, D’Mile, Cirkut and Jayda Love are among the co-writers. (filmmusicreporter.com) 20th Century Studios says the sequel opens exclusively in theaters on May 1, 2026, with Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci returning under director David Frankel and writer Aline Brosh McKenna. (20thcenturystudios.com) The song takes its name from Runway magazine, the fictional fashion publication at the center of both films, so the single doubles as a piece of soundtrack marketing and a piece of movie branding. (20thcenturystudios.com) (filmmusicreporter.com) That strategy was visible before the full release: Yahoo reported on April 6 that the film’s final trailer previewed Gaga and Doechii’s song, putting the music into the campaign before the single hit streaming services. (yahoo.com) The timing also puts Gaga into a spring movie rollout while Doechii adds another high-profile collaboration to a run that has pushed her further into pop-facing releases. Yahoo said Gaga also played the song live in Saint Paul on the night it came out. (yahoo.com) A full soundtrack album is scheduled for May 1, the same day the movie opens, according to Film Music Reporter. (filmmusicreporter.com) For now, the release turns a sequel campaign into a music event: one two-minute single, one fashion-film title, and one more push toward opening weekend.
