Heidi Montag has released a brand new song after her old music was catapulted to the top of the iTunes charts amid the devastating Los Angeles fires.
Montag and her husband Spencer Pratt’s $2.5 million Pacific Palisades home was among the more then 5,000 structures that burned down in the deadly blaze.
They purchased the house in 2017 and it’s where they’ve been raising their two young sons.
Fans rallied around the heartbroken couple by flocking to iTunes to purchase and stream Montag’s debut album Superficial, which was released 15 years ago.
Both the album and its lead single, I’ll Do It, are currently No. 1 on iTunes in the US — with sources claiming Montag could make upwards of $1 million in music sales.
And to thank fans for their incredible support, Montag surprised them with the release of a new track, titled Prototype, on Thursday.

‘Oh, you thought I was done giving you new bops? I’m not!’ teased The Hills alum in a tweet sent out on Thursday morning.
She encouraged fans to ‘pre-save’ Prototype, which debuted on iTunes and all streaming platforms at 12am EST/9pm PST.
Montag furthered fans’ excitement by giving them a peek at the song’s bizarre cover art.
The image shows a shocked looking Montag posing up in a bandage bra, a pearl-adorned balaclava and a matching arm-length glove. She also has on a nude, mesh corset.
When the song became available at midnight EST, Montag returned to X (formerly Twitter) to remind fans to ‘buy’ the song.
‘”Prototype” is officially available on iTunes and all streaming services worldwide!’ tweeted the reality TV star, who boasts 1.2million followers on X.
She also promoted the new track on her Instagram, where she’s followed by 1.1million people.
Fans instantly loved the pop hit, which is seemingly centered around Montag’s plastic surgery transformation.

It includes lyrics like, ‘I’m the reason all you b*****s wanna get filled / I look like an angel and I’m feelin’ like a God’
The release of Prototype came just hours after Montag broke down in tears on Instagram as she reacted to the overwhelming support from fans amid her family’s tragedy.
She was overjoyed by all the people who have been playing music from her Superficial album.
All those streams have made the money flow in for the blonde beauty.
iTunes typically pays artists around $0.70 per song download, so a large number of downloads at the #1 spot can add up quickly.
‘Thank you so much to everyone who has bought and streamed my music!’ Heidi said in her Instagram caption.
‘Thank you, thank you! Thank you for lifting us up in such a dark time. Being a light and a beacon of hope with all your support and love,’ she added.
The cash comes at a perfect time for Heidi and her husband Spencer Pratt as last week they lost their Pacific Palisades home to the fires. They did not have insurance.
