"Copycats" is a song by American rapper Danny Brown from his sixth studio album, Stardust (2025). The second single released from the album, it features American musician Underscores, and was released on October 16, 2025.
"Copycats", a deconstructed club and electropop track, reflects Charli XCX's hyperpop 2024 album Brat mixed with techno-inspired Detroit bass, as produced and featured by Underscores. With a "squelchy bass, glitchcore blips and boops, and chiptune synths", it's a "club-ready earworm". Brown plays as a braggadocious villain aiming at imitators: "Get what you want, not what you ask for... choose my path to walk, the straight narrow", while Underscores repeats the catchy hook "rap star, pop star, rock star / Gimme that"
On October 16, 2025, "Copycats" was released as the second single from Stardust. Its music video released twelve days later, featuring the duo in an entourage taking selfies and living a flashy lifestyle.
