LISA, Doja Cat, and RAYE Join Forces for ‘Born Again’ – A Breakup Anthem for the Ages

BLACKPINK’s LISA has finally made her dream collaboration a reality, teaming up with rap sensation Doja Cat and British singer-songwriter RAYE for the electrifying new single “Born Again.” The highly anticipated track, now officially released, is a powerful breakup anthem that reclaims self-worth, confidence, and empowerment.

The song serves as a lead single from LISA’s forthcoming debut solo album, “Alter Ego,” set to drop on February 28, 2025. Fans have been eagerly awaiting this moment, and LISA has certainly delivered—with a star-studded collaboration, an unforgettable music video, and a track that’s already making waves in the industry.

A Dream Collaboration Comes to Life

LISA has never been shy about her admiration for Doja Cat. In an interview with Audacy, she openly expressed her hopes of collaborating with the American rapper, saying, “I love her. Doja Cat, for sure, is my next goal.” That goal has now become a reality, with the added surprise of RAYE, one of the UK’s fastest-rising singer-songwriters, joining the project.

This collaboration has not only brought together three of the most exciting names in music today, but it has also breathed new life into a song that had a tumultuous past.

The Origins of ‘Born Again’ – From Leaked Demo to All-Star Revival

Long before this all-star version was announced, “Born Again” existed in a different form. The song was originally a demo recorded by RAYE during her time at Polydor Records, but it was never officially released. When RAYE parted ways with the label, the track was leaked online, leaving fans wondering if it would ever see the light of day in an official capacity.

Now, with LISA and Doja Cat on board, the song has been completely transformed into a polished, empowering anthem—reimagined as a symbol of rebirth (a fitting nod to the title itself).

A Breakup Anthem That Hits Hard

Lyrically, “Born Again” is a message of strength and self-worth after a failed relationship. The artists sing about an ex who didn’t realize their value until it was too late. The chorus delivers a powerful statement:

“If you tried just a little more times
I would’ve made you a believer
Would’ve showed you what it’s like (Like)
Every single night
To be born again, baby.”

Each artist brings their own unique flavor to the track. LISA’s smooth vocals, Doja Cat’s signature rap delivery, and RAYE’s emotive, soulful voice blend seamlessly, creating a dynamic listening experience.

A Neo-Noir Masterpiece – The ‘Born Again’ Music Video

To accompany the song, LISA, Doja Cat, and RAYE have also dropped a visually stunning neo-noir music video. The aesthetic is dark, moody, and cinematic, featuring striking fashion moments, dramatic lighting, and an air of mystery that perfectly complements the song’s themes of empowerment and reinvention.

The video has already drawn comparisons to the works of directors like David Fincher and Hype Williams, known for their stylized, high-contrast visuals. Fans have praised the bold artistic direction, calling it one of the most visually captivating music videos of the year.

What’s Next? LISA’s Solo Era Begins

With “Born Again” leading the charge, anticipation for LISA’s debut solo album, “Alter Ego,” is at an all-time high. Set for release on February 28, 2025, the album promises to showcase a new side of LISA, exploring different musical influences and styles.

Pre-orders and pre-saves for the album are already live here, with fans scrambling to secure their copies.
