Lady Gaga & Doechii, RUNWAY [📷: 20th Century Studios / Lil Monsters, LLC / Top Dawg Entertainment, LLC / Interscope Records]Grammy Award-winning artists Lady Gaga and Doechii ate and left no crumbs on the fierce “RUNWAY,” a single from the Devil Wears Prada 2 soundtrack.

“No matter what, no matter what / You got to strut.”
Woo! Hell yeah! And so begins “RUNWAY” by Grammy Award-winning artists Lady Gaga and Doechii. “RUNWAY” graces The Devil Wears Prada 2 soundtrack.  This fashionably fierce model-driven cut was written by Lady Gaga, Doechii, Bruno Mars, D’Mile, watt, Cirkut, and Jayda Love. It was produced by watt, Cirkut, Bruno Mars, and D’Mile. Sure, there are lots of cooks in the kitchen, but the song is well worth a loaded credit list!

Following the striking, low-pitched spoken-word intro excerpted above, a sickening beat and a vintage, electronic, house backdrop enter.  Lady Gaga wastes no time putting in work.  “Walk, I’m feeling fab / I’m feeling free, I feel exceptionally.” Get it, LG! She concludes the verse, asserting, “This paparazzi routine / Bitch, I came to be seen.” We see you, gurl! Doechii drops a bangin’ pre-chorus, where “Yes, serve a little sass / Yes, with a little side of ass…” The chorus, performed by both, eats! “Turn it up, turn around,” Gaga proclaims, with Doechii responding, “Bitch, Monday through Sunday / I can turn a dance floor into a runway.” Doechii gets her time to shine in the second verse, chock-full of confidence, dropping a compelling cadence and flow. “Cameras, flashing, lights on, fuck it up,” she asserts, and adds, “Click, click, click, click, everywhere I go / Get it, can’t get me, face card froze.” D-d-damn, gurl! There’s even more C-U-Next-Tuesday served on the bridge and the outro. “Pose / I ain’t scared of no cameras / Born for the runway / Sashay, Doech-ay.” All in all, Lady Gaga and Doechii ate and left no crumbs on the irresistibly delicious “RUNWAY”.
