Crossover Ready: 'Born Again' by LISA, Doja Cat and RAYE

A cross-genre, cross-country collab that marks a musical moment of taking back one's power, LISA, Doja Cat and RAYE’s “Born Again” was originally recorded by RAYE as a dark disco cut intended for her debut album. That record was consistently denied release and shelved for at least seven years until the British singer-songwriter called out her then-label Polydor Records in 2021. While a solo version of RAYE’s “Born Again“ leaked around that time, pop fans considered it a lost gem after RAYE parted with Polydor to go independent.

Around this time same time, Doja Cat was turning her viral Internet fame into a full-fledged pop career in large part thanks to breakout single “Say So.” The track caught the ear of LISA when BLACKPINK was preparing ‘THE SHOW’ livestream concert in 2021 and the Thai sensation performed a cover of it during her specific solo stage. Lisa continued to share her admiration for the fellow singer-rapper through the years and a collaboration started to feel all the more real when LISA signed to the same label as Doja at RCA Records.

Now, as the latest taste of LISA's Alter Ego album (out on February 28), “Born Again” literally gets new life as the song is released by LISA, RAYE and Doja Cat in a true act of artistic admiration and empowerment.
