“The Devil Wears Prada 2” soundtrack cut debuts on Spotify’s Global and U.S. charts straight out of the gate
Pop icon Lady Gaga and Grammy-winning rapper Doechii have dropped the music video for their high-octane collaboration “Runway” — a track featured on the soundtrack of 20th Century Studios’ long-awaited sequel The Devil Wears Prada 2.
Directed by New Zealand choreographer and filmmaker Parris Goebel, the clip channels the electric energy of Milan Fashion Week’s backstage chaos and delivers it with cinematic precision.
The video sees both artists cycling through a series of jaw-dropping high-fashion looks, flanked by backup dancers and editorial-grade staging. It culminates exactly as the title promises — Gaga and Doechii commanding a runway with the kind of effortless authority the franchise built its legacy on.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 reunites Meryl Streep as the formidable Runway magazine editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly, this time grappling with the collapse of print media. Her foil is Emily Blunt’s character — Priestly’s former assistant, now a high-powered executive at Christian Dior who controls the advertising dollars Priestly desperately needs to keep her empire afloat.

“Runway” wasted no time making noise commercially. The track logged a total of 2.96 million unfiltered streams on Spotify at launch, debuting at No. 32 on the Global Spotify chart. On the U.S. Spotify chart, it entered at No. 25, driven by over 727,000 domestic streams — a strong opening for a soundtrack single ahead of the film’s release.
In an interview with *British Vogue*, Gaga offered a candid and effusive tribute to her collaborator. “You don’t often see someone come out of the gate with a pen that feels immediately legendary. That’s Doechii to me,” she said. “The power in her words, her vulnerability, the way she rhymes with this wild mix of audacity and emotional precision — it struck me to the core.”
The mutual admiration runs deep. At the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards, it was Doechii who took the stage to present Gaga with the Innovator Award — a full-circle moment that makes this creative partnership feel all the more organic.
The track boasts one of the most stacked production credits of the year. Andrew Watt co-produced alongside Bruno Mars, Cirkut, and Dernst “D’Mile” Emile II. The songwriting team is equally formidable, with Gaga, Mars, Doechii, Cirkut, D’Mile, and Jayda Love all sharing writing credits — signaling a serious creative investment from all parties involved.
Gaga also makes a cameo appearance in The Devil Wears Prada 2 and recently wrapped her Mayhem Ball Tour, keeping her at the center of pop culture’s biggest conversations heading into summer.
For 20th Century Studios, the film represents a high-stakes bet on nostalgia-driven IP, and pairing it with a fashion-forward, chart-friendly soundtrack is a calculated move to maximize cross-platform reach.
