Why you mad? Reneé Rapp‘s love interest is choosing chaos and anger over cuddles on Rapp’s new single “Mad,” which was released Friday. On the rocky track, Rapp sings to a partner who’s clearly pissed, even though they could be doing something way more fun.

“All of the time you wasted being mad/We could’ve been cute and we could’ve been stupid,” Rapp sings on the chorus. “Hey, you/All of the time, you wasted in your head/We could’ve been having sex.”

The sultry video follows Rapp and actress Alexandra Shipp, who plays her love interest, from inside a fancy hotel room. The song devolves into chaos, and the two have a cold-shoulder fight.

Following in the cheeky nature of single “Leave Me Alone,” she later sings in the chorus: “God, it’s pissing me off/I wanna get mad at you, right back at you but/It’s kinda hot.”

The singer is set to debut the sexy new single, featured on her album Bite Me, which drops Aug. 1, while performing at the Today Show’s Summer Concert Series Friday.

The new single comes just a few days after she announced she’ll bring her new album to arenas nationwide. Earlier this week, the pop star announced the dates for her fall Bite Me tour, which will see her perform at iconic stages like Madison Square Garden and Kia Forum.

Last month, the singer reflected on her mom choosing her perfect popstar name on podcast Good Hang with Amy Poehler. “My mom chose my first and last name to be—well, okay, arguably chose my first and last name to both have R’s,” Rapp told Poehler. “She was like, ‘Alliteration, just in case she wants to be a pop star.’ Like before I was born… I’m obsessed with the way she did it. I’m like, ‘Thank you, God.’”
