Here are the top 10 Doja Cat songs of all time

Doja Cat has yielded a remarkable run of hits that cross boundaries among pop, rap, and R&B, stamped with her indelible flair and unrepentant demeanor. From initial singles that went viral on TikTok to bestsellers that dominated the radio, her repertoire continually demonstrates range and artistic temerity.

These songs aren't merely fan favorites; they've spoken to various eras of her career and contributed to her being one of the most vibrant artists of her generation. Below are ten of her most iconic songs that showcase the best of what Doja Cat has to give.

1) Woman

Woman, the confident feminine song from the album Planet Her, is more than a genre-conflating party tune; it's a dense, sprawling investigation into the feminine, into desire, and power. Doja Cat floats across a blend of layered Afrobeat rhythms, pop hooks, reggae undertone, and bassline-informed jazz to craft a musical world that feels simultaneously globalized and intimate.

Lyrically, the song works on a couple of levels: first, Doja Cat is claiming a romantic interest, firmly placing herself in a position as the woman he needs. But toward the end of the song, it critiques more specifically how patriarchal systems play women against each other and pushes against those systems with aplomb and scorn.

This is the dualism wherein the power of Woman lies, it's flirting but wise, provocative but based on social commentary. Catchy to dance to and multi-layered in meaning, the song is at once a celebration of femininity and an invitation to honor the power and solidarity of women.

2) Streets

Streets, from Doja Cat's 2019 Hot Pink album, is one of the slower tracks in her songlist, unveiling a sad and vulnerable side to herself. Experimenting with an R&B sultry beat and borrowing the sample from B2K's Streets Is Callin', the song laments losing the pain of losing one and the regret of realizing that nobody else is better than the person you let walk away.

The track is perhaps a tad not the typical love song tale, but Doja Cat admits to requiring the relationship again because she cannot get the good one. The raw truth is relatable to everyone who has ever had to go back to their ex.

As little as the title does in the revelation of it, the song became a hit, most notably on TikTok, and a benchmark in ushering her into the mainstream. Doja Cat's vocals are softer and more contemplative in this section, contributing to the emotional richness of the song.

3) Need to Know

Need to Know, the standout from Planet Her, is a seductive, sultry vibe that can't be denied. The track, with its trap-pop rhythm and slow, hypnotic delivery, features lyrics about being bold in the mood and s**ually curious. Doja Cat sings about a dude whose bedroom moves have her interested, and she is eager to see if the rumor is true.

Despite the explicit lyrics, it's clear this song's not for young ears, and yet it's relatable to anyone who has ever craved physical contact. The lack of a swift pace in this song is welcoming after listening to most of the genre's songs, which tend to be overly energetic, rendering this one smooth and intimate-sounding, perfect to listen to while driving late at night.

Curiously, Doja Cat wrote this song under the influence, yet she was able to create something interesting. The futurist production, heavy on bass and snappy drums, keeps up with her sultry vocals, which she delivers in a sultry whisper.

Doja Cat's rapid-fire delivery, nearly on Twista's level, showcases her ability to switch between sultry voice and quick-witted rhymes, and her ability to balance vocal gymnastics and sensuality. With all the rapidity of delivery, the track is easy to lose yourself in, drawing the listener into its inescapable groove.

4) Say So

Say So is the glossy title cut on Doja Cat's Planet Her album, a sensual blend of trap-pop and sensuality. With the groovy, laid-back hip-hop vibe of the song, the album creates an intimate, face-in-your-grill atmosphere, which is not typical with this genre of music because it is comparatively faster-paced. It's an in-your-face examination of lust, with Doja Cat warbling over a man's s*x life and asking if it is so and if she just must know.

This song has blunt lyrics. An interesting fact about the making of the song: Doja Cat wrote the song drunk, but what they've done to it is an irresistibly catchy song. The song also feels futuristic, along with the smooth bassline and thudding drumbeats propelling the rhythm ahead.

Doja Cat's bold, sultry voice is perfectly fit for this song, and the sultry whisper adds to the boldness of the song. She spits her rhymes at dizzying speed, one's mind remembering speed-demon rappers like Twista, but once you get used to the beat, her flow of lyrics is smooth.

Doja Cat's requirement for honesty is the converse of the normal shyness of articulating emotion, hence a song that people can personally identify with. The rhythm of the song, with Nicki Minaj's brutal first verse and second cameo during the middle of the song, is seen to be an attitude and energy that assists in the song's popularity.

5) Paint the Town Red

Dropped in 2023 as a single from the album Scarlet, Paint the Town Red is the best example of Doja Cat's unmatched skill for creating chart-breaking hits that stick around for decades. With over 650 million Spotify streams and growing, the song has become a career-defining highlight for her, bringing together infectious hooks and a new, genre-bending sound.

Apart from its musical success, the song is also marking Doja Cat's success in using social media to push her songs into mainstream culture. Her sharp insight into trends, memes, and social media interactions has been instrumental in seeing the song go viral.

Paint the Town Red not only confirms her position as a songwriter but also reminds herself as a power player in music and Internet culture, reinforcing her position as an industry influencer.

6) Kiss Me More

Dropped in 2021 on the album Planet Her, Kiss Me More with SZA is a sharp departure from the music genre Doja Cat had previously been associated with, thrusting her into dream pop sounds. The track has silky smooth, seductive rhythms blended with hot, sultry singing by both artists, evoking a sultry but bold atmosphere.

Infected with infectious energy, the song captures the carefree essence of summer in a light, relaxed vibe that mashes up old references to old-school pop and R&B textures. As a composer, Kiss Me More is a song about relationship dynamics: Doja Cat is encircled by expectation and affection as a persona, whereas SZA is reflecting on a toxic dynamic where she finds out she deserves it despite her lingering thoughts suggesting otherwise.

The track interpolates Olivia Newton-John's Physical to add some retro feel to the contemporary sound. The song's lighthearted, flirtatious atmosphere and dance rhythm and catchy bassline call one to let go, move, and enjoy the attitude. Doja Cat and SZA playfully trade words with each other, giving a performance that's irrisistable and haunting long after the music stops playing.

7) You Right ft. The Weeknd

You Right, Doja Cat's sultry feature with The Weeknd on Planet Her delves into the emotional conflict of desiring someone else while already being in a relationship. Framed as a nightcap confessional, the song plays out like a dual-sided narrative. Doja Cat wrestles with desire and guilt, The Weeknd providing the detached, analytical perspective of the guy she can't stop thinking about.

The song goes heavy on a soulful R&B beat, accompanied by reverb-soaked synths and a hypnotic beat that captures the tension in the lyrics. Doja Cat is husky and emotional against airy harmonies, and The Weeknd's falsetto is the added haunting timbre. The chemistry is unmistakable and generates a soundscape that is reminiscent of the sharing of a secret in the ear.

The only valid criticism of the track is its brevity; just when the story begins to be told, it vanishes, leaving fans panting for more of this dreamy, taboo-tinged narrative.

8) Juicy

Dropped in 2018 on her debut album Amala, Juicy signaled a moment of transformation for Doja Cat at the outset of her career, foreshadowing her induction into the big lights of mainstream pop and wider world of rap. The single is an unapologetic body-empowering anthem over the infectious beat and catchphrase hook.

With smooth delivery and good vibes in witty twists of expression, Doja Cat delivered a hook-friendly yet liberating track. Juicy demonstrated her ability to blend humor with self-praise, and it primed her for the bold, genre-defying artist she would later become.

9) Get Into It (Yuh)

Get Into It (Yuh) is not only a career peak for Doja Cat as a hyperkinetic performance, but also a deferential nod to one of her largest inspirations. She interpolates Nicki Minaj's debut single Massive Attack throughout the song, making coded allusions to its visuals and placing her own spin on it.

The tribute becomes evident towards the end, with Doja screaming out Nicki in a sincere "Thank you Nicki, I love you," affirming that the song really is one of tribute for her ability and respect for a trailblazer whom she is going out of her way to compliment.

10) Tia Tamera feat. Rico Nasty

Released in 2019 as an inclusion in the Amala (Deluxe) release, Tia Tamera was a harbinger of the change in direction for Doja Cat's young career. Headlined by Rico Nasty's fierce and unfettered style, the single rides on the strength of its wild charm and playful swagger.

Instead of treading carefully, Doja throws herself wholeheartedly into the outrageousness, sparring bars with Rico on a skipping, hard-as-nails groove. The result is a brash, colorful anthem that's more a celebration of uniqueness than a standard rap song.

With venomous wordplay, catchiness, and unmistakable chemistry between the two performers, Tia Tamera cemented that Doja was in it to shake things up and enjoy it while doing so.

Overall, Doja Cat's tracks address an artist who will not be held back. Whether she's delivering razor-sharp rhymes, experimenting with genre boundaries, or celebrating her theatrics, each track feels uniquely hers. Her music blends humor, swagger, and innovation in a way that keeps her fan base constantly invested and the industry scrambling.

From top-of-the-charts viral anthems to genre-defying deep tracks, Doja has built a discography as unpredictable as it is permanent, establishing herself as one of pop and rap's most unique voices active today.
