Monday through Sunday, Lady Gaga and Doechii can turn a dance floor into a runway.
The powerhouse pop/hip-hop duo have joined forces for the just-released duet “Runway,” the first new music from The Devil Wears Prada 2. The song — which is named after the fictional fashion magazine at the center of the movie series — was announced earlier this week when it soundtracked the final trailer for the sequel, which arrives in theaters on May 1.
“Runway” was co-written by Lady Gaga along with her “Die With a Smile” collaborators Bruno Mars, Dernst “D’Mile” Emile II and Andrew Watt, as well as Mayhem producer Cikut, Jaylah Hickmon and Jayda Love. Mars, Watt, Cirkut and D’Mile produced the song.
The song is perfect for the catwalk, even starting with the spoken intro: “No matter what, you better strut.” In the outro, Gaga sings, “You were born for the runway,” perhaps tipping her hat to her 2011 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 smash “Born This Way.”
Last year, Doechii presented Gaga with the Innovator Award at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards, saying that she identified as a “Little Monster” growing up. “Lady Gaga wasn’t just a pop star; she was a lifeline,” Doechii said of Gaga’s impact on young queer kids. “Gaga taught us it was OK to be our real selves.” In a British Vogue interview last year, Gaga praised Doechii, saying, “You don’t often see someone come out of the gate with a pen that feels immediately legendary. That’s Doechii to me.”
