Prior to the rise in popularity of ‘Streets’ and its associated TikTok challenge, Doja Cat had actually sampled the same Paul Anka song in her 2018 track ‘Freak’, which received an official release on streaming services in August of last year.

As for the follow-up to ‘Hot Pink’, Doja revealed in September that it is apparently finished.

“It’s all ready. I hate that I’m holding on to it right now,” she said.

“…I see everybody is like, ‘Put it out, put it out’, and I’m like, ‘I would’, like, you have to plan things accordingly and there’s a lot going on.”







2021 has seen Doja Cat team up with a variety of collaborators, including Saweetie for ‘Best Friend’ and Ariana Grande with Megan Thee Stallion for a remix of ’34+35′.
