## Origin

The song began as a RAYE track. It was originally created for RAYE's debut album under her former label Polydor; after she left that deal, a rough demo with more impassioned and personal talk-speak verses leaked in 2021.<sup>[2](https://www.officialcharts.com/songs/lisadoja-catraye-born-again/)</sup> The song was re-tooled for LISA in 2025, with Doja Cat adding a verse of her own.<sup>[2](https://www.officialcharts.com/songs/lisadoja-catraye-born-again/)</sup>

## Release and promotion

[Sony Music](https://www.edgepedia.org/sony-music) described the song as a dynamic, high-energy pop track bringing together three global superstars, positioned as an anthemic, empowering single ahead of *Alter Ego*. It was LISA's first new release of 2025.<sup>[1](https://www.sonymusic.ca/press_release/28323)</sup> LISA had repeatedly named Doja Cat in interviews as a dream collaborator, and RAYE, a 2024 BRIT Awards record-breaker who took home six awards in one night, completes the trio.<sup>[1](https://www.sonymusic.ca/press_release/28323)</sup>

## Music video

The official video, directed by Bardia Zeinali, features all three artists and premiered alongside the single, with a broadcast premiere on MTV Live, MTVU, MTV Biggest Pop, and the Paramount Times Square billboards. Zeinali had recently directed visuals for [Sabrina Carpenter](https://www.edgepedia.org/sabrina-carpenter)'s "Please Please Please" and [Tate McRae](https://www.edgepedia.org/tate-mcrae)'s "Sports car".<sup>[1](https://www.sonymusic.ca/press_release/28323)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[2](https://www.officialcharts.com/songs/lisadoja-catraye-born-again/)</sup> LISA described the video as a tribute to powerful women throughout history and to her fans.<sup>[5](https://www.sonymusic.co.jp/artist/LISA/info/571031)</sup> A Spanish-language account of the clip describes the first four parts in black and a fifth in white with metallic armor, with the three artists presented as goddess-like figures.<sup>[6](https://los40.com/2025/02/07/lisa-doja-cat-y-raye-se-convierten-en-diosas-en-born-again-un-homenaje-a-las-mujeres-poderosas/)</sup>
