Doja Cat unleashed her latest single ‘Jealous Type’ on August 21, 2025, marking the lead track from her highly anticipated fifth studio album, Vie, set to drop on September 26 via Kemosabe Records and RCA Records. The Grammy-winning artist, known for her genre-blending prowess as the “Queen of Pop-Rap,” has a storied career with 19 Grammy nominations, including Album of the Year for Planet Her (Deluxe), and a win for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for ‘Kiss Me More’ with SZA. Her 2023 album Scarlet hit number four on the Billboard 200, spawning the chart-topping ‘Paint the Town Red’, her first solo number-one single. Doja Cat also announced her Ma Vie World Tour, kicking off November 18 in Auckland at Spark Arena, with stops in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Manila, Tokyo, and wrapping in Kaohsiung on December 21.
‘Jealous Type’ is a vibrant pop-rap track infused with funk-pop and disco-pop elements, crafted by producers Jack Antonoff and Y2K. The song’s retro ‘80s-inspired soundscape, complete with bright synths and punchy programmed drums, delivers a groove-heavy vibe. Lyrically, it dives into the complexities of jealousy and insecurity in relationships, with Doja Cat’s breathy vocals gliding over a slick, danceable beat. The accompanying music video, directed by Boni Mata and shot in Los Angeles, features Doja in bold, neon-lit visuals, embodying an ‘80s femme fatale while confronting her own duality in a striking narrative.
‘Jealous Type’ could mark a turning point for disco-pop’s return to pop’s mainstream. By blending its infectious, groove-driven essence with modern pop-rap sensibilities, Doja Cat taps into a hunger for upbeat, dancefloor-ready tracks that resonate in a post-isolation era. Unlike fleeting trends, this single’s polished yet raw production—rooted in funky bass and sparkling synths—feels like a natural evolution of her sound. With Doja’s massive influence, this release might not just dominate playlists but also inspire a wave of artists to revive disco-pop’s vibrant, communal spirit, redefining pop’s trajectory.
