The song is a re-released alternate version of her single Still Bad, which originally debuted in March.
The upbeat pop number shows clips of the Good As Hell singer arriving at the Vogue-run gala in a black and white two-toned gown before cutting to footage of her running through the streets of New York City, partying in an arcade and lip syncing in a limousine.
'I like the demo version more and I had people in my head telling me that it wasn't good enough,' she wrote on BlueSky of the decision to re-release the song.

'But I'm learning it's not about what's good enough, it's about what I WANT.'
Her upcoming album, Love In Real Life, is due to be released this summer.
The album will mark her first since the musician and her production company were sued by ex-dancers Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez, who made a number of claims, including allegations of sexual, religious and racial harassment.
At the time, the singer, 37, said the claims were 'as unbelievable as they sound' and insisted she would 'not let the good work I've done in the world be overshadowed by this'.

Her first single since the scandal, Love in Real Life, was released in February.
Fans speculated over her return to music after the Grammy Award-winner posted a video of her spray painting the words 'bye bitch' on to a large printout of her album cover Special on Valentine's Day.

Earlier in the month, it was reported she had told a Twitch stream about her plans, saying: 'I've been working on new music for the last two years.'
In 2023 she released the song Pink, which featured on the Barbie movie soundtrack, and a remix of the song Special.

A month after the allegations in August 2023, similar claims were made against Lizzo by stylist Asha Daniels, who said she was subject to racial and sexual harassment and a hostile work environment while on tour with Lizzo.
A US judge dismissed the specific allegations against Lizzo.

James Lowe, singer of psychedelic rock trailblazers the Electric Prunes, dies age 82
James Lowe, the singer of psychedelic rock band the Electric Prunes, has died aged 82. His family said in a statement that he died of natural causes. 'Dad leaves behind a legacy of sound, love and boundless creativity,' they said on Facebook. 'At the centre of it all was our amazing mom, Pamela – his guiding star, enduring muse and wife of 62 years. We know how deeply he cherished this community, and we feel that love too.' Formed in Los Angeles in 1965, the band's second single, 1966's I Had Too Much to Dream (Last Night), reached No 11 in the US, and proved their biggest hit. (Most of their hits were written by Annette Tucker and Nancie Mantz.) More significant, perhaps, was the song's inclusion on the 1972 psych and garage compilation Nuggets, a cult favourite for more than 50 years, and their general influence over the emerging psychedelic scene. Lowe said that the band wanted to make 'free-form garage music'. The band's name started as a joke and they had a short-lived, tumultuous existence, with Lowe later admitting that they were learning to play their instruments as they went along, with one significant early woodshedding session taking place at the house of Leon Russell. Members came and went, a David Axelrod-produced album of psychedelic pop and Gregorian music flopped and inspired a disastrous live performance, and producer and engineer Dave Hassinger's rights to the name allowed him to reassemble the band at will. Lowe left in 1968. The so-called New Improved Electric Prunes released their last album, Just Good Old Rock and Roll, in 1969 and split a year later. Lowe distanced himself from the band until interest resurged in the 1990s and he began touring and recording with other members of the group. The song Kyrie Eleison, from the Gregorian-inspired album Mass in F Minor, had been used in the 1969 film Easy Rider and part of the album were later sampled by the likes of MF Doom and Madlib. At the time of his death, he was the last surviving original member. Lowe was born in San Luis Obispo, California, on 5 March 1943 and lived in Hawaii for a time as a teenager. When he returned to California, he performed folk music and worked in rocket engine production before forming the Sanctions, the band that evolved into the Electric Prunes. After the band's split, Lowe worked as a recording engineer, contributing to significant works such as all three albums by Todd Rundgren's band Nazz and the first album by the band that would become Sparks, then known as Halfnelson. That record flopped, prompting Lowe to leave music to work in television production. In 2000, he told US author Richie Unterberger that the band's reunion had reminded him 'how much fun music is. Take away the profit motive and all that greed and you get back to trying to make a good record … it's very hard.' Of the Electric Prunes' brief existence, he said: 'Some things are meant to be short and sweet. Life is but a dream.'
