Megan Thee Stallion and Reneé Rapp just released the music video for their song "Not My Fault," and it includes a slew of references to the original 2004 Mean Girls film.

Rapp will soon star in the highly-anticipated movie musical adaptation as Regina George alongside Angourie Rice, Auliʻi Cravalho, Bebe Wood, Avantika, Christopher Briney, Jaquel Spivey, Jenna Fischer, Ashley Park and Jon Hamm, as well as Tina Fey and Tim Meadows, who are reprising their roles as North Shore High's math teacher and school principal, respectively.

The new music video includes never-before-seen footage from the new film and a handful of references that original fans will love.

1. On Wednesdays, we wear pink

It must be a Wednesday in the music video because every single outfit includes the color pink.

2. Regina George's nipple hole shirt

When Megan Thee Stallion's verse kicks in, the rapper is wearing a white tank with the nipples cut out and a purple bra, a direct reference to Janice Ian's failed sabotage in the original film.

3. Megan Thee Stallion's lyrics

At one point, the Grammy Award winner raps, "I been told y'all I'm the Black Regina George."

4. "Get in loser, we're going shopping"

Rapp and Stallion beckon the viewer to climb into their Jeep, a nod to George's iconic line.

5. "Boo You Whore" Mugs

At the end of the music video, Stallion and Rapp sip from mugs that read "Boo You" and "Whore." In the film, Regina said the line to Karen over the phone after she pretended to be sick to avoid going out with her.

Bonus: Did you catch Lindsay Lohan's voice as Cady Heron at the beginning of the song?

"It's not my fault you're like in love with me or something," Lohan shouts before the beat kicks in. The line is clearly the inspiration for the song, as it's pulled directly from the original film and repeated throughout the chorus.

Mean Girls hits theaters on Jan. 12.
