The Black Regina George has something to say. Megan Thee Stallion is prepping a new single, and the latest teaser promises a scathing takedown of all of the detractors who have had something negative to say about her over the past few years.
The Grammy winner first teased her new single on Monday (Jan. 22) with a graphic revealing the track’s title, “Hiss.” On Wednesday (Jan. 24), she followed up that announcement with a voiceover that served as a warning to the intended subjects of her forthcoming single.
“I just wanna kick this s–t off by saying, ‘F–k y’all!” she proclaimed. “I ain’t gotta clear my name on a motherf–kin’ thang. [Every time] I get mentioned, one of y’all b—h a– n—as get 24 hours of attention. I’m finna get this s–t off my chest and lay it to rest, let’s go!”
“Hiss” serves as Thee Stallion’s first solo single of 2024, and its title teases a continuation of the snake-centric imagery of her last solo release, 2023’s “Cobra.” A rollicking rock-rap hybrid, “Cobra” served as her first independent single since departing from her former record label, 1501 Certified Entertainment. The song peaked at No. 32 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached No. 10 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.
While “Hiss” is Meg’s first solo release of the year, she’s been musically active through collaborations. In December, she teamed up with Mean Girls movie musical star Reneé Rapp for “Not My Fault,” the lead single from the film’s soundtrack. The saccharine pop bop has since peaked at No. 22 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100, with greater gains expected following the film’s box office-topping opening weekend and the pair’s viral Saturday Night Live performance.
“Hiss” is slated to hit streaming platforms on Friday, Jan. 26. Check out the ominous teaser below
