Lady Gaga and Doechii collaborated for the first time on the song "Runway"

The new song is the first track from The Devil Wears Prada 2 soundtrack

The Parris Goebel-directed music video features avant-garde fashion and nods to the movie's fictional magazine Runway

Lady Gaga and Doechii were "born for the runway."

The two Grammy winners collaborated on the new track, "Runway," and released the music video on Monday, April 27. Their joint track is the first piece of music to be revealed as part of The Devil Wears Prada 2 soundtrack. The new track was written by Gaga, Bruno Mars, Jaylah Hickmon, Andrew Watt, Henry Walter, Dernst “D'Mile” Emile II and Jayda Love.

The Parris Goebel-directed music video kicks off with the pair sewn into the same oversized red blazer, wearing matching black ties and white button-downs, with matching straight hair. They then lip-sync to the song's intro, saying, "No matter what, no matter what/ You got to strut."

The music video launches audiences into the world of avant-garde fashion as 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."

Then Gaga and Doechii coordinate in high-fashion, 18th-century-inspired ballgowns paired with dramatic makeup and perfectly askew hair looks.

Doechii raps about taking on the runway in the pre-chorus, "Yes, serve a little sass/ Yes, with a little side of ass/ Yes, got the front row screaming/ Okay (Okay), 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."

The singers then join together to serenade listeners about turning the dance floor into their own personal runways.

As the song comes to a close, the fashion-forward stars remind audiences one last time that they were "born for the runway."

The collaboration between Doechii and Lady Gaga marks their first together, but comes after the artists' repeated praise of one another. Gaga told British Vogue in July 2025 that she "fell in love" with the "DENIAL IS A RIVER" artist's music. “You don't often see someone come out of the gate with a pen that feels immediately legendary,” Gaga, 39, said.

In response, Doechii recalled for PEOPLE how she "audibly gasped" at the comment. "I'm the biggest Lady Gaga fan," she said. "So for a legend like that to say that about me, it really, really validated me in a humbling way."

Along with the stylish stars coming together, the video also makes subtle nods to the upcoming movie — including the track's title, which matches the title of the famed fictional magazine. One of the opening sequences of the musicians showcasing their couture has the pair reading from "Runway," with Emily Blunt's character, Emily Charlton, on the cover.

Blunt reunites with original cast members Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Stanley Tucci for the highly anticipated sequel. Director David Frankel and screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna also return for the follow-up to 2006's adaptation of Lauren Weisberger's novel The Devil Wears Prada. The sequel sees Hathaway's journalist Andy and Streep's fashion editor Miranda Priestly reuniting amid changes in the modern fashion and journalism worlds.
