BuzzJack Music Forum _ R&B and Hip-Hop _ Doja Cat - Hot Pink

Posted by: Bré 11th January 2020, 11:29 AM



So yeah I wanted to post about this the other day and found that no one ever made a thread for any of Doja Cat's previous singles or her album, oop ~

This is technically an album track (for now at least) but it's rapidly becoming more relevant than any of the singles were thanks to TikTok and it's her best song so I'm making this thread just for this song, I guess if anyone has any thoughts on other songs from the album y'all can post them here too or make another thread xx
edit: this has kind of turned into just a general thread about her so I have re-titled it to reflect such, until someone feels like making a new thread for any particular new release from her xo

Anyways. This is v good, some groovy disco vibes, very different to the singles which was a pleasant surprise! Would really like to see this properly blowing up for her, it's #68 in the UK this week up from #83 last week magic.gif

Posted by: Josh! 11th January 2020, 11:54 AM

I'm absolutely OBSESSED with her at the moment, in a way that I don't think I've obsessed over a new artist since Nicki's Pink Friday era. She's just so much fun, all the videos are so colourful, some of the lyrics are hilarious and each and every one is just a banger. I agree with you Bre this is her best yet though, properly funky so I'm not surprised to see it spawn a new dance craze. Here's to hoping it takes off in a big way in the next weeks!!

Posted by: Jack 11th January 2020, 01:40 PM

Cyber Sex is probably my favourite from her, but I love this as well! A really strong album too, hope she does well!

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 12th January 2020, 12:48 AM

No idea who she is, but this is ace! I'd love to see it smash.

Posted by: Jade 12th January 2020, 12:58 AM

I discovered 'So High' a few years ago and actually considered sending it to BJSC! I was then disappointed by pretty much everything I heard since that. However... I'm totally back on board with this one, so breezy and funky wub.gif

Posted by: Liаm 12th January 2020, 01:40 AM

Omg this is fab, bop *.*

Posted by: JosephStyles 14th January 2020, 06:11 PM

This is SO DAMN GOOD

Posted by: Josh! 23rd January 2020, 02:04 PM



Latest single for the 'Birds of Prey' soundtrack. She's been filming a video too so hopefully that'll arrive soon.

This goes OFF tbh! I feel like it's very reminiscent of Azealia Banks so if you're a fan of her then I'd definitely listen.

Posted by: Bré 23rd January 2020, 02:51 PM

'Say So' is being sent to pop radio in the US next week, hope that will help it translate into being a real hit for her. x

Posted by: Liаm 23rd January 2020, 11:32 PM

Boss Bitch is AMAZING omg

Posted by: Jack 24th January 2020, 01:48 PM

'Boss Bitch' is THAT bop!

Posted by: RobBot 24th January 2020, 02:00 PM

Boss Bitch is indeed fantastic. But this song in particular has now been added to the Radio 1 playlist so hopefully it can start to really make a dent on the charts here now!

Posted by: Liаm 24th January 2020, 10:32 PM

Say So could so easily be huge, fingers crossed!

Posted by: Cucumberella 24th January 2020, 11:20 PM

"Boss B*tch" is EVERYTHING!

Posted by: Jack 24th January 2020, 11:55 PM

The video for Boss Bitch too wub.gif

I prefer it to Say So tbh, but I'm happy with whatever gets her a hit so she can blow up.

Posted by: Jonjo 25th January 2020, 12:41 AM

I'm really enjoying both of these! Hoping 'Say So' can take off to elevate her. 'Boss Bitch' is my fave of the two though. So much sass! Love it.

Posted by: Cqmerqn 25th January 2020, 05:46 PM

This sounds identical to What Lovers Do by Maroon 5 laugh.gif

Posted by: Bré 30th January 2020, 10:02 PM

I like some parts of 'Boss Bitch' (i.e. the instrumental and the verses) but it's let down for me as I think the hook falls totally flat, and that's hard to look past when it takes up a good half of such a short song. :x

Posted by: troylovesmusic 31st January 2020, 04:48 PM

As this has turned in to a Doja Cat Discussion thread now pretty much I thought I would post some of her other songs/personal favourites from her. I just love how versatile and creative she is none of her songs really sound the same.I hate to compare or say it but she really gives me Nicki Pink Friday Era feels from her whole look to even the way she switches from different genres and styles of rap how she can go from songs like Say So with a more pop vibe to Rules with a more Hip Hop vibe
















Posted by: Jack 31st January 2020, 09:12 PM

Cyber Sex is my absolute favourite wub.gif

Posted by: JosephStyles 4th February 2020, 08:48 PM

I still prefer Say So but my god I'm all over Boss Bitch too atm

'Say So' this sounds fantastic from her. Great to see it go Top 40 for her.

Really liking Say So. Sounds similar to The Cardigans.

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 14th February 2020, 06:12 PM

Say So is a tune, really growing on me even if it's not the sort of thing I'd usually be into! Not head anything else she's done (other than the snippet of 'Moo' that Scott played on the chart show kink.gif) but I'd certainly be interested.

Posted by: JosephInSpace 14th February 2020, 06:24 PM

Boss Bitch new at #99 in the UK! biggrin.gif

Posted by: Hiyaluv 16th February 2020, 12:30 AM

Say So is wonderful and Boss Bitch is essentially her answer to Anna Wintour albeit not as banging.

Production on 'Boss Bitch' reminds me of 'Get Shaky' at times.

Boss Bitch is my favourite of hers - hopefully it’s going to be the next single!

Posted by: Mack. 24th February 2020, 04:05 PM

'Say So' continuing to make steady progress in the chart. Now up to a new peak of #21 in the UK.

I would compare it more to Lizzo - Juice with the mix of disco and a few rap lines with the trap delivery. Speaking of which a Lizzo/Doja Cat track collaboration would work very well I think.

Posted by: Dobbo 25th February 2020, 06:23 PM

Oh I'm referring SOLELY to the production. The parts in the chorus of Say So I can envisage "love me, love me, say that you love me" over the top of it. Prolly just me I'm sure!

Posted by: dan.G 26th February 2020, 01:22 PM

the production is actually a sample of Chic - Good Times btw, didn't notice until I looked up the lyrics on genius.

Also she looks AMAZING.

Posted by: Envoirment 29th February 2020, 01:51 AM

The video is so good, love the visuals and the choreography. The song has been stuck in my head the last week or so. Hopefully with the release of the video, the song will start to really gain traction!

Posted by: The S***e 29th February 2020, 08:02 PM

'Say So' is more of a summery sounding song so it doesn't sound quite at this good this time of year as it could. But in Doja's native California it is always summery so...

Posted by: HiyaLuv 29th February 2020, 10:31 PM

Say So is #1 in my chart but I also think it would have sounded REALLY great as a spring/summer release.

Posted by: LMLou 2nd March 2020, 05:22 PM

OMG Say So is #2 on US Spotify! She was #12 just 3 days ago, the jump!

Posted by: Juliano 2nd March 2020, 09:18 PM

Now OFFICIAL obsessed.

Posted by: Dan17F1 11th March 2020, 08:21 PM

Anyone got any idea why Boss Bitch is rising so rapidly on Spotify and Apple? Has it been added to playlists or announced as the next single or something completely different?

Posted by: Bré 12th March 2020, 02:25 PM

It looks like it's just the 500th Doja Cat song to become a trend on TikTok. She really owes nearly her entire career to that app laugh.gif

Very happy that 'Say So' has managed to become a legit hit beyond minor TikTok relevance though, remains easily the best thing I have heard from her to date. <3

Posted by: The S***e 12th March 2020, 04:25 PM

Would be good if Boss Bitch becomes a hit, just listened to it and was pleasantly surprised at the dance focused production (reminds me a bit of 'Swish Swish' by Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj in that regard).

Posted by: Jack 12th March 2020, 04:28 PM

Boss Bitch up to #52 on UK Spotify! Wig!

Posted by: troylovesmusic 12th March 2020, 04:36 PM

Omg I’m more in love with this woman (like everyone else lol, I’m a basic bitch) with every song I hear, Moooo! and Go To Town from her first project are not just memes but legit great songs like Say So *.* I’ve heard a few songs from the album, I’ll listen in full when I’ve given Rina’s a few more biggrin.gif

Posted by: Gerald 23rd April 2020, 08:51 PM

Went on TikTok today and of course Doja is the queen of Tik Tok as her songs just go viral there, I found a video of a slowed down version of Like That. So I went YouTube to find it and I did. Have a listen;



Of course I love the original but I really like this slowed down version of the song.

Posted by: Gerald 27th April 2020, 02:31 PM

There are rumours going around on social media that a Nicki Minaj remix of 'Say So' is going to be released soon.

I loveeee this remix Nicki did her thing on both her verses .

Posted by: LMLou 1st May 2020, 01:49 PM

I prefer the original, not too keen on the instrumental in Ncki's verse. Also quite weird how they made the song 30 seconds shorter

Posted by: Jack 1st May 2020, 02:22 PM

The remix is an embarrassment honestly, Nicki sounds bored and the lyrics ...."I used to be bi but now I'm hetero" was a choice.

Posted by: Soapsfan20 1st May 2020, 04:33 PM

Obviously the original is better (as it should be) but I liked Nicki’s verses and the remix in general .

Posted by: JosephStyles* 2nd May 2020, 08:26 PM

The original is one of my songs of the year but that remix is terrible - could Nicki not be bothered to rap to the actual beat? The lyrics are bad too. Really poor effort.

Posted by: dan.G* 3rd May 2020, 02:05 PM

absolutely pointless remix! especially when compared to the Savage remix released the same week.

Posted by: Gerald 4th May 2020, 07:19 PM

Moving on from that dreadful remix... Doja upload a VEVO Lift live performance of Say So!



She's an absolute star to be frank. So talented.

Posted by: Bré 4th May 2020, 10:01 PM

I didn't think Nicki's verse was that bad but the decision to completely change the beat for it and then clunkily switch back to the original song definitely isn't the one.

Glad the remix has happened if only for the fact it'll give the song a top 3 (likely top 2) peak though magic.gif

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 4th May 2020, 10:30 PM

That remix is a hot mess, oh dear. Still, I'm grateful it's vaulted it up to an (impending) higher peak.

Posted by: LewisGT 5th May 2020, 07:51 PM

Looks like Doja herself is not a fan of her own video. laugh.gif


Posted by: LMLou 5th May 2020, 08:23 PM

To me, based on some of her tweets, it seems like she's maybe a bit tired of promoting Say So and wants to do stuff with other songs

Posted by: Gerald 5th May 2020, 08:47 PM

The VEVO Lift performance was great though! The vocals were good. Maybe she was referring to ill-fitted outfit she was wearing? Even so she looked great!

Posted by: LMLou 7th May 2020, 05:45 PM

The demo version of the remix is SO much better, no clunky beat drop


Posted by: LewisGT 7th May 2020, 07:41 PM

I listened to this for the first time today and I enjoyed it. The first half of the album was really good but it started to sound a bit samey in the second half. But the short runtime meant I was never fully bored with it. I would have liked a bit more variety though.

Posted by: Gerald 8th May 2020, 09:00 AM

Doja has released the original version of the Nicki Minaj remix on all streaming services. It's really good to be honest. Flows much better than the official remix.

Posted by: MrAndrewMan 8th May 2020, 11:26 AM

Definitely much prefer the original version to the main one! Glad she released it wub.gif

Posted by: troylovesmusic 8th May 2020, 12:07 PM

It’s actually quite smart to release all these versions as it will all count to the one song in the chart.

Posted by: JosephStyles 8th May 2020, 12:09 PM

Oh that's a MASSIVE improvement! How did they ever decide the other version was better? laugh.gif

She never even wanted to release 'Say So' as a single due to Dr Luke connections and in interviews, she really seems disengaged from the song itself.

Posted by: Jack 8th May 2020, 12:21 PM

Yeah, I'm pretty sure 'Like That' was due to be a single before 'Say So' blew up on Tik Tok.

Posted by: LMLou 8th May 2020, 12:22 PM

Hope the newly released “original” version ends up becoming the official version but im not sure if it will due to radio stations already having the other version

Posted by: RobBot 8th May 2020, 12:43 PM

That version with Nicki is MILES better than what they put out last week!

Not surprised at this, its been around for a long time now. I am sure many artists get bored by the time one of their 'sleeper hits' reaches its peak in the charts. Wonder will she stick to the disco-pop sound of Say So for her follow up hits or just go full hip hop. Hoping for another Boss Bitch style dance song but it seems unlikely as that was more a 'novelty song' for a film soundtrack.

Also, I will predict now that Doja Cat will be the next artist to have an artist forum on Buzzjack.

Posted by: Bré 8th May 2020, 09:27 PM

'Like That' is also produced by Dr Luke oops

(I believe I saw the other day that that is being pushed to radio soon anyway, could have potential to be another relatively big hit by post-album single standards since the album wasn't huge when it came out. I've only heard that song once which was quite a while ago now but I remember thinking it was fairly good, should probably give it another go)

Also the 'original version' of the remix is definitely an improvement on the other version they released, the beat switch was just a really badly executed idea.

Posted by: LMLou 8th May 2020, 10:49 PM

This is set to be very close to reach #1 in the US, last minute sales boost could mean it could get there over Savage. Great result either way but I do slightly prefer this so fingers crossed

Posted by: troylovesmusic 8th May 2020, 11:05 PM

Ergh .... I will be happy for both either way but I do think if Doja gets the number 1 it will be lowkey unfair with how many versions of Say So have been released the past week or so . Not to mention the fact Savage is the better remix which actually made the song better .

Posted by: Wall 8th May 2020, 11:06 PM

There’s four versions of Say So top five on USA iTunes!

The same amount of versions of Savage were released this week. Remix explicit and remix clean. The "original version" of the Say So remix came out on Friday and therefore is outside the tracking range for the impending Hot 100. It's completely fair.

Posted by: Gerald 8th May 2020, 11:21 PM

I feel like Say So will get the US #1 on Monday, the song has the sales and radio advantage over Savage which are weighted more than streaming.

Either way, this chart battle must be so exciting for both Doja and Megan who on the verge of getting their first #1. I will be happy whoever gets the #1 but I'm hoping its Doja as Say So (solo) deserves to have a #1 accredited to it.

Posted by: LMLou 8th May 2020, 11:32 PM

The remix will be credited in America so Nicki would be getting her first #1 too, which would feel quite weird considering the original still feels a lot bigger and it doesn’t feel like a Nicki song at all

Doja has bundle sales as well added to Say So on top of the different remix releases as well so it gives her an advantage. I wasn't aware the version released today didn't count for this week though. Like I said either way I will be happy for both . In an ideal word the one that ends up at number 2 will go number 1 the following week.

Posted by: Bré 8th May 2020, 11:52 PM

I would rather see 'Say So' at #1 than 'Savage' based on the solo version but it'll be a little bittersweet as in terms of the remixes Megan's is much better than Doja's thinking.gif it's cool that they'll both be top 2 though.

Posted by: Infludexton* 9th May 2020, 02:00 AM

I’m fine with Doja Cat getting to #1 but I wish it wasn’t Nicki getting it too laugh.gif

Posted by: Bré 9th May 2020, 02:25 AM

It's not clear yet if Nicki will even be credited on it, it'd be kind of hilarious if the song did hit #1 but Nicki wasn't credited on it so it still didn't officially count as a #1 for her laugh.gif

That comment was more aimed at fans for hilson implying that this #1 for Megan/Doja is somehow less valid than Cardi's because of being boosted by remixes tongue.gif

The Kodak remix (and another remix with Messiah) would obviously have had some small impact (highly doubt they would have made the difference between #1 and #2 but I don't remember how close it was to be fair) but they're not comparable at all to the remixes for 'Savage' and 'Say So' considering those songs wouldn't have even been close to #1 without their remixes. Those 2 remixes have a combined ~15 million views on YouTube and ~33 million plays on Spotify to date (with neither ever making even the top 200 on US Spotify), the 'Savage' remix has very similar numbers to that already in just over one week and the 'Say So' remix is around halfway to those numbers already too. Again not saying that makes Megan and Doja's achievements less valid, it's just that their remixes were clearly much more important than the 'Bodak Yellow' ones.

Those 2 remixes have a combined ~15 million views on YouTube and ~33 million plays on Spotify to date (with neither ever making even the top 200 on US Spotify), the 'Savage' remix has very similar numbers to that already in just over one week and the 'Say So' remix is around halfway to those numbers already too. Again not saying that makes Megan and Doja's achievements less valid, it's just that their remixes were clearly much more important than the 'Bodak Yellow' ones.


My comment was more about Nicki having to go for number 1 by jumping on successful songs. Megan getting Beyoncé is not less valid and is actually more valid than Doja/Nicki as it’s raising money for charity. It’s just Nicki and Doja have now released 2 different versions of the remix to try getting Nicki a number one which is a slight eye roll and makes it less valid.

Say So is officially #1 in the US! First number one for both Doja and Nicki!

Posted by: JosephStyles 11th May 2020, 06:46 PM

So pleased it's #1!!! wub.gif The remix (at least, the one that counted last week kink.gif) did not deserve it but nevertheless I'm glad it has a #1 peak to its name.

Posted by: Bré 11th May 2020, 06:54 PM

RIP to all the memes about Nicki Minaj not having a #1 hit. They've been fun. sob.gif

Happy to see the song getting the #1 spot tho cheer.gif

Posted by: LewisGT 11th May 2020, 08:09 PM

Is Nicki getting credited then on Billboard?

I'm very happy to see this go #1 over there anyway, it's tied with Godzilla with my favourite song of the year so far.

Posted by: Gerald 11th May 2020, 08:12 PM

YASSSSSSSS @ QUEEN DOJA GETTING THE US #1 *.*. Hopefully the first of many to come.


Posted by: Liаm 11th May 2020, 10:35 PM

Yaasss, so glad for her - hope her success continues! Such a refreshing presence in music.

Posted by: Jordan Lee 11th May 2020, 11:27 PM

The US rules are so confusing.

Like Nicki getting her first #1 through this song is so mad! Same as S&M remix being a #1 for Britney lol.

Are the sales for the original and remix combined for this to be #1 but the remix sold more for Nicki to get credited?

I’m a fan of the track though. Prefer the original but as far as female rap goes it’s one of the better tracks of the last few years in that genre definitely. I actually like that Doja can really sing too!

Posted by: LMLou 11th May 2020, 11:28 PM

Yeah they are combined and whichever "sold" more gets credited, I think it mainly depends on which version is sent to radio and Kworb has it as the remix on the radio charts

Posted by: Bré 11th May 2020, 11:29 PM

Billboard's stated rules are that they use the artist credits for the version that contributes the most to the total 'chart points' (i.e. sales, streaming and airplay combined under whatever ratio Billboard are using at that time). So yes, the original and remix are combined and apparently the Nicki version contributed more than the solo version at least this week.

Posted by: LMLou 11th May 2020, 11:33 PM

Even though the remix is technically what got to #1 this week I’m pretty sure that, like S&M, the original will be the one that’s remembered in years to come and the remix will kinda be forgotten by non-stans

I agree.

Tbh I feel like the song is big enough to have gotten to #1 without the remix as well.


Posted by: Bré 11th May 2020, 11:51 PM

It wasn't big enough to even be top 3 without the remix... tongue.gif

Posted by: troylovesmusic 12th May 2020, 12:07 AM

Nicki being on this remix definitely helped it go to number 1 . Say So had just felt out the top 5 the week before and was starting to slip so the remix definitely helped !

Posted by: LMLou 13th May 2020, 09:53 PM

Some predictions are saying Say So is very close to staying #1 this week in America which would be good cause it almost felt like it only got to #1 because of the competition and bundles last week so longevity would help it feel more like a #1
Also her biggest competition is 6ix9ine so she needs to be #1

Posted by: Bré 13th May 2020, 11:01 PM

It looks from the replies to Simon Falk's predictions that he's basically guessing at Ariana & Bieber's bundle sales, he was initially way off predicting the bundles for 'Say So' last week so given how close his figures are I think they probably still have a very strong chance at #1. Let's not have 6ix9ine get there please lol ~

Surprised this is still being projected to stay ahead of 'Savage' anyway though. Was expecting it to drop to #4 or #5 again this week (and it may still do as there isn't a lot between the top 5 in those predictions).

Posted by: LMLou 18th May 2020, 06:57 PM

Say So only falls to #2 and managed to hold above 6ix9ine in the US! Might be coming back to #1 next week when Justin and Ari fall

Posted by: Bré 18th May 2020, 07:22 PM

I'm kind of expecting 'Blinding Lights' to be back at #1 next week but maybe I'm just underestimating Doja's staying power given she managed to hold up at #2 this week. (I think the release of the 'original' remix + the massive takeover on iTunes was actually part of this week's tracking week so that might explain why she held up better than I expected but who knows xx)

Posted by: LMLou 18th May 2020, 07:42 PM

Blinding Lights seems to be starting to fall on radio whilst Say So is still making decent gains, but either way I’m glad it’s not collapsing down the chart like I thought it might have done after the remix peak wore off

Posted by: dan-G 18th May 2020, 08:28 PM

oh yay at this managing to have held off 6ix9ine even if Ariana/Justin didn't release!

Posted by: LewisGT 22nd May 2020, 11:37 PM

Doja is currently getting cancelled on Twitter after a video has apparently resurfaced that shows her in a video chat with supposed white supremacists and laughing at racist jokes.


Posted by: Bré 23rd May 2020, 01:05 AM

Large yikes.

Honestly though after reading into this a bit I kind of just feel sorry for her more than anything else. It seems she has some pretty serious self-loathing issues and she can't be mentally well to still be associating with those kind of people (not that it would ever have been ok for her to do so but the evidence here seems to be from as recently as this week which is crazy, I was assuming at first this was the usual case of Twitter dragging up old comments to cancel people but apparently not).

Doja has already been cancelled for a while for those who were paying attention so this isn't really that surprising but this is so much worse than I thought it'd be ~

Posted by: Andrew. 23rd May 2020, 01:39 AM

I was aware of her use of f*ggot and I’d KIND OF overlooked it knowing it wasn’t her intent to be homophobic (doesn’t make it not wrong obviously) but this is...dodgy af mellow.gif We were rooting for you, we were all rooting for you. I agree with Bré, if she has these attitudes it’s AWFUL but I hope she’s okay.

Posted by: Jack 23rd May 2020, 02:36 PM

Okay she really is disgusting for that, I can't forgive her tbh :/

Posted by: troylovesmusic 26th May 2020, 10:37 AM

She went on live and addressed everything . I’ve got to say props to her for doing this she came across really genuine here and explained and cleared everything up really well !


Posted by: lewistgreen 25th June 2020, 09:18 PM

Like That now has a video


Posted by: Klumzee 25th June 2020, 09:21 PM

Is there any news on if 'Cyber Sex' will be pushed? Like all her songs it's all over TikTok and has a really accessible sound (which I imagine has been produced by Dr. Luke). I reckon it'd get her another top 40 hit.

Posted by: lewistgreen 25th June 2020, 09:21 PM

I would love for Cyber Sex to be a single

She’s such a star she just has a certain it factor and charisma that just shines through in her videos and performances.

Her VMA performance was such a SERVE she’s a star imo


Posted by: Jack 31st August 2020, 02:06 PM

Her, Miley and Gaga were all SO good. I'm really hoping she doesn't end up being a one hit wonder.

Posted by: JulianNial 31st August 2020, 02:51 PM

I loved the aesthetic but I feel like the performance was lazily lip synced or is just me? Maybe there was a slight vocal delay, I don't know, something seemed off, my other half agreed.

I'm really hoping her team choose to push 'Cyber Sex' next because that'd smash.

Posted by: troylovesmusic 17th October 2020, 11:12 AM

She done a medley at the Billboard Music Awards this week and it was such a SERVE ! She’s such a great performer wub.gif

'Streets' is now taking off in a big way, #20 on Spotify! Thanks to TikTok yet again laugh.gif

Not my favourite on the album although it does remind me of Tinashe which is never a bad thing. Hopefully she capatalises on it blowing up and does a video / promo for it - she was quick with Say So, hopefully it's the same case for this.

Posted by: troylovesmusic 25th January 2021, 05:38 PM

Yeah ‘Streets’ is shooting up the charts big time both in the US and over here . It’s actually one of my favourites from the album so good to see it doing well and looking to be another hit for her potentially. I also LOVE the live performances of it she’s done !









Posted by: Santa Snake 25th January 2021, 05:59 PM

'Streets' is good, until the rap part I am getting slight FKA Twigs vibes from it in terms of music style.

Posted by: lewistgreen 31st January 2021, 12:32 PM

Streets playlisted by 1Xtra!

Posted by: Envoirment 4th March 2021, 09:01 PM

I can't get "Streets" out of my head! I wonder if they'll push another single given how big "Streets" has become?

Posted by: Bré 4th March 2021, 09:53 PM

Depends on if TikTok latches onto another track from it probably lol xx

(which they probably will, this is Doja Cat we're talking about after all basil.gif)

Posted by: JackTheeStallion 7th March 2021, 09:02 PM

The video for 'Streets' is coming out on Tuesday! biggrin.gif

Excited, she always puts out such a good visual.

Posted by: troylovesmusic 7th March 2021, 09:23 PM

Yeah the video looks like a serve I’m excited biggrin.gif
