Following a break from releasing new material and the limited commercial impact of her debut studio album "Amala" in 2018, Doja Cat gained viral attention with her 2018 single "Mooo!", a novelty song that became an internet meme. Building on this recognition, she released her second studio album, "Hot Pink", in 2019. The album reached the top ten of the US Billboard 200 and included the single "Say So", which became a number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 following a remix featuring Nicki Minaj.
Her third studio album, "Planet Her", released in 2021, spent four weeks at number two on the Billboard 200 and produced several top ten singles, including "Kiss Me More" featuring SZA, "Need to Know", and "Woman". In 2023, she released her fourth studio album, "Scarlet", which featured a more hip-hop-focused sound. The album reached the top five of the Billboard 200, and its lead single, "Paint the Town Red", became her first solo number-one on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped charts in multiple other countries.
Doja Cat is recognized for her dynamic performances and frequent use of social media platforms such as TikTok to promote her music. Her artistic style incorporates elements of internet culture and visual experimentation. Over the course of her career, she has received various awards, including a Grammy Award, five Billboard Music Awards, five American Music Awards, and five MTV Video Music Awards. In 2023, Time magazine included her in its list of the 100 most influential people in the world.

I'm not in love
I am not emotionally invested
So don't forget it
Please remember that fact
Got a lotta things to be happy 'bout
I have many reasons to be happy about
Run my check up while they run they mouth
I focus on my success while they gossip
Got you cussing on a Sunday now
I have surprised you with my success
Shut yo', shut yo' goofy-ass up
Kindly quiet down with your foolish talk
They say they want money
People claim they desire wealth
All they do is run they mouth
But all they do is gossip
Body looking real overseas, hips motherland
My body has an international appeal
I did all the things I ain't need, I don't wanna dance
I indulged in unnecessary activities and no longer wish to participate

@zacuzzi
this song feels so nostalgic yet feels like a breath of fresh air
@saif4110
Right??
@sanjaynirmal3785
That's because she has sampled "10cc - I'm Not In Love" beautifully
@sandropaulo5471
This vibe reminds me M.I.A.
@Keenonf
i haven't looked to verify, but I can bet all these songs that sound "nostalgic" are produced by Jay Versace. thats most def his vibe!
@DaphneMarina88
the intro is a 1975 song. "I'm not in Love" by British group 10cc in 1975. enJoy, Doja is versatile because she goes back into time for inspo sometimes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STugQ0X1NoI
@lovemesomeshan
I love how Doja has developed a sound and identity of her own, she’s definitely in a league of her own
@ekaterina__p
I agree!!
@LadyK13
Yes❤
