Lady Gaga and Doechii have officially arrived on the runway. The two Grammy-winning artists have joined forces for ‘Runway’, the first piece of music revealed from ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ soundtrack, and the music video dropped on Monday, April 27, is every bit as fashion-forward as the title suggests.The track is written by Gaga, Bruno Mars, Jaylah Hickmon, Andrew Watt, Henry Walter, Dernst “D’Mile” Emile II, and Jayda Love. The music video was directed by Parris Goebel.
‘The Devil Wears Prada 2′: What happens in the ‘Runway’ music video
The video opens with the pair sewn into the same oversized red blazer, wearing matching black ties and white button-downs with straight hair, lip-syncing to the song’s intro: “No matter what, no matter what, you got to strut.”From there, the video launches into the world of avant-garde fashion.
Gaga sings, “Walk, I’m feeling fab, I’m feeling free, I feel exceptionally me, hate all you want, but I’m dangerous, you gon’ burn your tongue on this tea, might show up late, might be on time, just wait, I’m coming, kiki, this paparazzi routine, bitch, I came to be seen.” The pair then coordinate in high-fashion 18th-century-inspired ballgowns paired with dramatic makeup and perfectly askew hair.Doechii takes the pre-chorus, rapping, “Yes, serve a little sass, yes, with a little side of ass, yes, got the front row screaming, okay, okay, yes, do a little twirl, yes, let ’em know I’m that girl, yes, Monday through Sunday, I can turn a dance floor into a runway.”
As the song closes, the pair reminds audiences one final time that they were “born for the runway.” “Pose, I ain’t scared of no cameras, born for the runway, sashay, Doech-ay, pose, born for the runway, I ain’t scared of no cameras, born for the runway, sashay, Gag-ay.”The video also makes subtle nods to the upcoming film, including a sequence where the pair are seen reading from a magazine called ‘Runway’, with Emily Blunt’s character Emily Charlton on the cover.
How Lady Gaga and Doechii’s collaboration came together
This marks the first time Gaga and Doechii have worked together, but the mutual admiration between them has been building for some time. Gaga told British Vogue in July 2025 that she “fell in love” with Doechii’s music. “You don’t often see someone come out of the gate with a pen that feels immediately legendary,” Gaga, 39, said.Doechii recalled to People how she “audibly gasped” at the comment. “I’m the biggest Lady Gaga fan.
So for a legend like that to say that about me, it really, really validated me in a humbling way,” she said.
