"New Religion" is a song by American singer Bebe Rexha and English electronic music group Faithless. It was released on March 6, 2026, as the lead single from Rexha's upcoming fourth studio album Dirty Blonde.

Background and development

The song follows the promotional releases "I Like You Better than Me" and "Çike Çike", which were released in February 2026.[1] "New Religion" was the third from her upcoming studio album Dirty Blonde, following popular demand from fans who "helped shape" the track.[2] It also follows a previous collaboration between Rexha and Faithless, "Dollars and Dimes" from the latter's 2025 record Champion Sound.

Upon its release, she expressed gratitude to Faithless for allowing her to use elements from their original song. Rexha also expressed excitement about presenting it to audiences around the world, performing it live and hearing it "at festivals, in clubs, at parties, on the radio".[3]

Composition

"New Religion" heavily builds on the Faithless song "Insomnia" (1995) and incorporates elements of its original production.[4]
