Throughout the upbeat song, Rapp — whoreprises her Broadway roleas Regina George in the new film —  hypes herself up and sings about being above drama.

“It’s not my fault / You came with her but she might leave with me / It’s not my fault / You’ve gotta pay for what I get for free / It’s not my fault / You’re like, you’re like, you’re like in love with me,” theSnow Angelartist sings on the chorus over a disco-funk-inspired beat.
