Born Again (Lisa song)
Updated: 12/16/2025, 9:11:47 PM Wikipedia source
"Born Again" is a song by Thai rapper and singer Lisa featuring American rapper and singer Doja Cat and British singer-songwriter Raye. It was released through Lloud and RCA Records on February 6, 2025, as the fourth single from Lisa's debut studio album, Alter Ego (2025). A pop song incorporating disco and electropop, it was written by its producers Raye and Andrew Wells as well as Doja Cat and Anthony Rossomando. It is a post-breakup empowerment anthem in which the artists sing about what their exes lost by giving up on their relationship. Music critics praised "Born Again" as a standout album opener due to its dynamic production and the artists' vocals. The song debuted at number one on the Official Thailand Chart, becoming Lisa's first chart-topper in her native country. It peaked at number 22 on the Billboard Global 200 and became Lisa's fifth and highest-charting entry on the US Billboard Hot 100 at number 68. It also reached the top twenty in some Asian countries and the top seventy in some European and Oceanian countries, including Germany, Australia, Canada, Ireland and France. An accompanying music video was directed by Bardia Zeinali and released on Lloud's YouTube channel simultaneously with the single's release. The video pays tribute to powerful women throughout history and depicts the three artists singing in black mourning gowns before being reborn as medieval warriors, symbolizing their personal growth. Lisa performed "Born Again" at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and appeared at the 97th Academy Awards with Doja Cat and Raye. The song won Best K-Pop at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, making Lisa tied as the most-awarded artist in the category.
