Gaga & Doechii drop 'THE RUNWAY'

Lady Gaga and Doechii released a fashion‑forward collaboration called “THE RUNWAY” — an early drop from Gaga’s album MAYHEM that leans into runway drama and has already drawn big fan attention online. The post announcing the track hit 80,000+ likes, signaling strong social traction for a song that explicitly ties music to fashion imagery. (x.com)

Lady Gaga and Doechii didn’t just drop a duet on April 10. They dropped “Runway” as the first new song tied to *The Devil Wears Prada 2*, which turns a fashion metaphor into the whole hook. (variety.com) The track is short, fast, and built for replay: Spotify lists “Runway” at 2 minutes and 51 seconds, and YouTube shows it was officially released on April 10, 2026. (open.spotify.com) (youtube.com) This is not a standard album cut pulled from Gaga’s original *MAYHEM* rollout. The official *MAYHEM* standard CD tracklist on Gaga’s store runs 14 songs and does not include “Runway.” (ladygaga.com) That makes “Runway” feel more like an add-on built for a specific moment: Gaga’s album campaign on one side, a major fashion movie sequel on the other. Variety and Billboard both describe it as new music connected to *The Devil Wears Prada 2*. (variety.com) (billboard.com) The pairing makes sense on paper before you even hear the song. Gaga has spent nearly two decades turning pop releases into visual events, and Doechii has built her rise on sharp, theatrical rap performances that already play like character work. (variety.com) (billboard.com) The credits show how hard the labels leaned into making it feel big. YouTube lists Bruno Mars, Andrew Watt, Cirkut, and Dernst “D’Mile” Emile II among the producers and writers, with Stefani Germanotta and Jaylah Hickmon credited as writers too. (youtube.com) Even the ownership line tells you this was assembled across two artist worlds. The YouTube release credits name Lil Monsters, LLC and Top Dawg Entertainment, LLC, with the track licensed through Interscope Records and Capitol Records. (youtube.com) So the story here is bigger than one song. “Runway” is a three-way handoff between Gaga’s *MAYHEM* era, Doechii’s current momentum, and a film franchise that has always treated clothes like plot.
