Doja Cat is giving us a little more insight into what’s to come on her new album Scarlet. The “Attention” singer will have “no features” she says on the project and that it will contain 15 songs:

1. “Paint The Town Red”
2. “Demons”
3. “Wet Vagina”
4. “F— The Girls” (FTG)
5. “Ouchies”
6. “97”
7. “Gun”
8. “Go Off”
9. “Agora Hills”
10. “Can’t Wait”
11. “Often”
12. “Love Life”
13. “Skull And Bones”
14. “Attention”
15. “Balut”

She has already released “Attention,” “Paint The Town Red,” “Demons,” and today she dropped her fourth single “Balut.” Compared to her previous Scarlet songs, “Balut” has a slower melody but she is still able to show off her rapping ability.

Doja is hyping herself up throughout the entire song, “Is it coke? Is it crack? Is it meth? (Is it?)/What the f— do she put in them hits?/I’m the s—, you a real piece of s—/I am needed, you a real needy bitch/I’m competing, you are incompetent/You are fleeting ’cause you can’t copy this,” she sings.

Then for additional salt in her fellow artists’ wounds, she says how easy it is: “Uh, wow, uh, yeah/Uh, wow, uh, yeah/Uh, wow, uh, yeah/It’s like takin’ candy from a baby,” she repeats in the chorus.

The Scarlet Tour

While the album is not out until Sept. 22, Doja already has something to celebrate. Doja gave hip-hop its first Billboard Hot 100 since August 2022 with “Paint The Town Red.” According to Billboard, the song ended its longest break for the genre atop the chart since 2001.

The California native also had one of the best performances at the VMAs. The singer performed a Scarlet medley of “Attention,” “Paint The Town Red,” and “Demons.” She also took home a moon man after winning for Best Art Direction for “Attention.”

Doja will be taking Scarlet on the road soon. The singer announced that she will be going on tour starting in October. The “Paint The Town Red” rapper won’t be alone on this journey as she has recruited both Ice Spice and Doechii to go along on tour with her. The tour begins on Halloween (Oct. 31) in San Francisco and ends on Dec. 13 in Chicago.

Scarlet will follow Doja’s Grammy-winning third studio album, Planet Her. Planet Her was released in 2021.
