Doechii, 27, who raps in the second verse, echoes the theme of the song by saying she can "turn a dance floor into a runway."
"Tell 'em, 'Make room,' my body's a antree / I could turn a mad ho into a fan," she says.
Then, for the bridge, the pair both talk about their love for fashion and how they love to be seen.
"Pose / I ain't scared of no cameras / Born for the runway / Sashay, Doech-ay / Pose (Born for the runway)," they say.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is expected to hit theaters on May 1. The film is a sequel to the hit 2006 movie starring Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt. The trio will also be returning for the second film, which follows Streep's character, Miranda Priestly "as she navigates her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing," per Variety.
During an April press conference in Japan, Streep said she was elated to do The Devil Wears Prada 2 because it's rare for women over 50 to lead films.

"I do think that there's something in this one that's unusual, because you don't see many 70, almost 77-year-old women playing parts like this in any movie or under any circumstance," she said with a laugh. "So I'm happy to represent, you know?"
