I'm very good, very good.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
We're a couple of days out.
Speaker 7 (01:07):
Yeah, how are you feeling? I'm excited.
Speaker 8 (01:10):
I think this was something that I wanted to just leak.
I think from like months ago. I wanted to leak
this like six months ago.
Speaker 7 (01:17):
So thank god, yes I do that. I go on
live and.
Speaker 8 (01:21):
I I leak my music a lot. Maybe not something
people like on my team, but I I love I
love making the music, and I want it. I want
people to be in the same spirits that I'm in.
So I like to just play it right after I
get back from the studio.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Do you what is it? You put it up on
SoundCloud or something like that.
Speaker 8 (01:42):
Sometimes I'll do that if it's not, like, if I
don't feel like it's an official album release, I'll do
it if it's uh yeah, if it's kind of like that.
Speaker 7 (01:51):
But for this, I just I come home and I
like play it on live.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
And You're just like, man, people need to hear this
right now. Yeah September twenty sixth, but right now?
Speaker 7 (02:01):
Yeah, why not?
Speaker 3 (02:02):
What the next time you do that? Let me know
so I can hear it earlier.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
Yeah, so let's talk about the name V.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Tell us all about that.
Speaker 8 (02:11):
So it was kind of a chain of events of
like I was like, okay, this is my fifth album. Okay,
and so what's the roman numeral for five? It's a V,
And so I got three v's tatted on my collarbone.
And then I was like, well, how can we stretch
that even more?
Speaker 7 (02:30):
And I thought of the French word v.
Speaker 8 (02:33):
And that means life, and so I wanted to kind
of twist that in a way. And I felt the
album was already really romantic in a way and about
love and.
Speaker 7 (02:48):
You know, like this this stuff.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
What's funny?
Speaker 5 (02:53):
What's funny?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
I felt like that was implied yeah.
Speaker 8 (02:58):
Yeah, vay, so I think, uh yeah, one hundred percent.
And I think that was kind of like I feel like,
without love, there is no life. You know, you have
to love something or someone in order to make another
someone or too. You know, you can't you can't love
(03:22):
your life without uh without loving it or I mean
you can't live your life without you know, I mean
some people don't whatever. Anyway, I'm rambling, but the thing,
the thing is, it sort of made sense to me,
and I I felt like it was right for this,
and it was kind of a sexy word and love
youen rose and you know, it's it's just it made sense.
(03:45):
I feel like, also, the romantic culture of a French
culture is like something that I really kind of stuck
to with this, and the eighties felt quite sexy, and
so I wanted that to be you Epp, are.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
You someone who just is enamored by the seventies and
the eighties.
Speaker 7 (04:09):
Yeah, one hundred percent.
Speaker 8 (04:11):
I love like postmodern furniture and postmodern Italian you know,
design and architecture from the eighties. I think architecture wasn't
really uh, it was really great in the seventies and eighties,
and then something happened with the laws of like how
you can build a house and how you can build
(04:32):
a thing, and like you can't do certain things because
of like earthquakes and safety things, and so now you
can't really make stuff that that's that cool now, I.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Guess that's why they all look like boxes right now.
Speaker 7 (04:44):
Yes, you get a lot of mc mansions is what
I like to.
Speaker 8 (04:48):
Call them mansions, Yeah, with really crappy wood and.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
You know they say manufactured m Yeah. So we are
about to jump into the first single, jealous type.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
What made you pick this as a single?
Speaker 7 (05:04):
I think that it was strong.
Speaker 8 (05:06):
I think in the entirety of it, it was just
very vibrant and in sexy, and it felt also like
something that people maybe aren't comfortable embracing, like being jealous,
Like it felt a little bit like interesting in that sense,
and so kind of the pop element is important, but
(05:28):
also the meaning of it was important to me as well.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
So shall we jump into it?
Speaker 5 (05:34):
All right, guys, here we go Doja and Jealous Type. Yo,
this is our iHeartRadio album preview it Doja caad hashtag dojakat.
That was the first song that Jack Antonov produced, Jealous Type.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
How do we feel about that? You were working with
Jack on this? Tell me about that.
Speaker 8 (05:54):
Yeah, So it started with me and Y two QUE,
who have worked a lot in the past.
Speaker 7 (06:02):
We worked on Planet Her and I think that's it.
Speaker 8 (06:06):
I think I started working on Planet Her with Y
two K and he's fabulous. I mean, he really is
one of my favorite producers and really understands a lot
when it comes to the eighties sound. I think that's
what his most excitable thing is. He like, when I
brought that to him that I wanted to do that,
he was really really excited. So he immediately just like
(06:30):
knocked that one out and we do what we do.
Speaker 7 (06:35):
We did what we do. We did and it was amazing.
We did what we do and it was amazing.
Speaker 8 (06:42):
It was really really fun and really quick and yeah,
I think it was just magic from there. And I
took it to Jack because I wanted some really good
instruments and things that I can't you don't usually get.
I don't know where to source these people who are
so talented, and they, yeah, they were able to add
(07:07):
some stuff to this track that I think it really needed.
Speaker 7 (07:10):
And Jack is just fantastic.
Speaker 8 (07:14):
He really is very talented and he understood what I
wanted and so yeah, it's been great.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Are you the one that's constantly working on the album
up until it's release date?
Speaker 7 (07:33):
Yeah, you know, yes, kind of in a way.
Speaker 8 (07:36):
I think when I have features sometimes I think, especially
with this uh this uh, it's it does end up
happening that way. And I think also artists, you know,
(07:57):
when it comes to features, artists want to be fresh
in the way that they attack a song, and so
a lot of features do end up coming out kind
of last minute, which is so valid and.
Speaker 7 (08:14):
It's a smart way to do it.
Speaker 8 (08:15):
And so I think with this album, where people thought
that maybe there'd be no features, I do have one
feature on this album, and it's a feature that has
always been a great feature and it's not a Dojacat
album without this feature.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Nice.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
So this is the iHeartRadio Album preview with Dojia Kat.
Speaker 3 (08:42):

Speaker 5 (09:13):
Not the song from me, which is out Friday, brand
new from Doja kat. So you said earlier that this
song is very much about love. Is it exhausting constantly
being in the public eye?
Speaker 3 (09:25):
M sure, sure, sure, I would tell you something.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
I don't know how you guys do it, because I
would be stressed constantly.
Speaker 8 (09:33):
Well, when you post something on Instagram, do your friends
ever give you You never get like a weird message
from somebody anybody.
Speaker 7 (09:42):
It's weird.
Speaker 8 (09:43):
Yeah, it's weird putting yourself out there at all. It
doesn't matter if you're famous or or this or that.
I think it's just it's very weird to be able
to put a picture and then a million people can
look at it. I think there's just some people, you know,
where it it flows the way that a lot more
people see it. And so yeah, I mean that's annoying sometimes.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
Yeah, I would be like all the people people probably
are in your inbox saying all types of stuff too.
Speaker 7 (10:17):
I don't check that.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
No, no, don't try to DM Doja because she ain't

Speaker 3 (10:34):
Cat all right.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
Time for another song from b which is out Friday.
The song is Stranger. Tell me a little bit about Stranger.
Speaker 8 (10:47):
This song is about accepting the person that you like
for who they are and not for who other people
think they should be for you. I think that a
lot of people have been like, oh, man, I think
he's fine. Oh she's really hot to me, And you
hear your friends say things like, well, I don't think
(11:09):
she's this, or I don't think she's and like, sometimes
your friends are right, but for the most part, I
mean physically, it's like, you know, they're too goofy, or
they're too there, they have a chip tooth, their haircut
is weird. I don't like their haircut, I like the
way they dress whatever, like And this is kind of that.
(11:29):
And this is accepting the person that you're with because
you love them and following your heart when it comes
to love.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
So that's stranger.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Here we go, you guys ready for it.
Speaker 5 (11:41):

can collaborate with any artist, who would it be?
Speaker 3 (11:57):

Speaker 8 (12:02):
A handful of people, I think right off the bat.
Speaker 7 (12:06):
Nick Hakeem is one. Uh. Connon Moccasin is another.
Speaker 8 (12:13):
Uh. I think Scizza is always going to be someone
that I that I revere and I love and I just.
Speaker 7 (12:26):
Uh, who else? Man? I mean those are three people
that are incredible. There's other people.
Speaker 8 (12:34):
I'm gonna go home and I'm gonna be like on
the toilet and be like, oh, why didn't I say that?
Speaker 3 (12:42):
I have to say.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
We're about to jump into what I feel like is
my favorite song.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Awmen, hold on, hold on, let's just jump into it.
Can we just jump into it? All right? Drop it?
Speaker 5 (12:57):
Why we are checking out our iHeart Radio Album Preview

Speaker 5 (13:19):
Shall we jump into the next song. So we're gonna

Speaker 3 (13:27):
We're gonna drop it. We're gonna drop it, talk about
it next. How does that sound? All right?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
There we go, Let's do it, Doja Cat.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Thank you so much for being here.
Speaker 7 (13:58):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
We absolutely can weight for the new album B All right,
So let's talk about your last album, Scarlet. How is
this new one V? How is that different from Scarlet?
Speaker 7 (14:11):
It's different in a lot of ways.
Speaker 8 (14:13):
I think the subject matter is a lot more different.
I think Scarlet was about a specific emotion and I
think that's fear, pain, anger, frustration.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
And things like that. That was that.
Speaker 8 (14:30):
And V is very different because it's, you know, during Scarlet,
like I did, talk about love and romance and passion
and things like that. But V is different because it's
more trying to connect with a more joyful spirit, more
joyful and wanting to feel sexy and feminine in a
(14:55):
different way. And I think it's different also because of
the era that I'm sort of pointing at with it.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
It's very eighties.
Speaker 8 (15:03):
It's not a period piece, but there's a lot of
inspiration from a different time. With Scarlet, there was some
moments where there were samples. I think a Gore Hills
was obviously sampled and that was kind of, you know,
that was a little bit of a hint to what
the next thing was supposed to be. So, but other
(15:26):
than that, I mean they're very different in that sense.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
Are those different headspaces that you're in when you write
a Scarlet from a v.
Speaker 8 (15:36):
Yes, Scarlet was something that I did for myself that
I feel I needed to do and it paid off,
like it felt great, Like what I got out of
it was great emotional comfort, and it felt like I
gave myself a time to speak and not you know,
(16:01):
not try to pander or try to be something that
other people needed or wanted need to be.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
So how do you get to that headspace to not
pander or to not do things that people want you
to do.
Speaker 8 (16:29):
I mean it took me a long time to get
to that headspace. Yeah, I mean it takes a lot
of mistakes of making a lot of mistakes or expressing
myself impulsively or doing things that are.
Speaker 7 (16:50):
Very human And.
Speaker 8 (16:55):
It was just really like a floor for the child
inside of me. I gave myself a stage and a
floor the self that was not fully grown, really fully realized.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
And I think that that was needed.
Speaker 8 (17:16):
I don't know what it takes to get there, other
than making mistakes and being human, so it was important.
I think that was sort of my reflection on that.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
Do you feel like you did that album to serve
the inner child inside of you?
Speaker 7 (17:33):
Yeah, that's That's kind of what I'm getting at.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Nice.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
So earlier, we promised to play some of your fan
talkback messages that we've been collecting on iHeartRadio, and are.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
You ready to listen to some yees? Let's play the
first one? Yeah, Hey, Dojo.
Speaker 8 (17:52):
I was just wondering what was your go to snack
during the making.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Of the.
Speaker 8 (18:00):
What's my go to snack during the making of the album?
My favorite snack was I was eating a lot of
Peruvian food, really good. There's a place called Po Po
Po Po On. I don't know where it is, but
it's in New York. It's New York, but I don't know.
(18:21):
I don't know where it is, you know what I do.
It's near Electric Lady, and it's really good. And I
was doing chicken and rice and beans.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
And like, you know what you cut up since.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
They'll get it, they'll get it.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
Since you're in New York, you should go into Nork
the iron Bound and get Portuguese food.
Speaker 7 (18:42):
I would love to.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
It's my absolutely okay. I love Portuguese food. So the chicken,
the rice, the ribs, so good. Shall we jump into the.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Next talk about? Here we go, hidoja. My name is
Justin and my question.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Is what was your favorite part of making your new album?
Speaker 8 (19:08):
My favorite part of making my new album there was
a lot of really good parts. Someone asked me this
and I answered with I'll give you two answers. Two
of my favorite parts was when my my I have
a project manager who's like my best friend, and she's
like hilarious. She's very reserved and you like can't make
(19:31):
her do anything. You can't make her dance or like
do anything, like if you're like go back, she'll be like,
no I do why would I do that? And so
she I remember because I had never seen her like
so geeked off of something. But when I made gorgeous,
she like was like kind of like, so I've never
(19:55):
seen her like she just was dancing, and like, I was.
Speaker 7 (19:58):
Like, what wasn't I'm scared she let loose and she
like she was just didn't.
Speaker 8 (20:05):
She was carefree and she was like totally cool with it,
and like, I love that.
Speaker 7 (20:09):
That was something that I was able to.
Speaker 8 (20:12):
Do that and so yeah, Gorgeous was really fun to make.
And another one was when I hit a couple of
crazy notes on a I think it's called uh oh
wanting what we Want saying my name.
Speaker 7 (20:29):
It's called all Mine.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
That song is called all Mine, but I hit a
really crazy note on there, and that that made.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
Me feel really good.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
You know what's the best when you see people go.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
All right, let's jump into the next talkback.
Speaker 7 (20:51):
Hi, Dosha Cat, I'm just curious, what's your favorite.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Song on your new album.
Speaker 8 (20:56):
My favorite song I keep saying that it's Take Me Dance,
and it is one of my favorite songs.
Speaker 7 (21:02):
But Allmine is.
Speaker 8 (21:04):
I you know what, I love all Mine.
Speaker 7 (21:09):
I love make it Up and I love access Service.
Speaker 8 (21:12):
So I'm sorry I couldn't give you one song, but like,
I love Allmine and I can't wait for people to
hear that allmen.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
That's mine bo the night.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
Rider sample fire Oh well that's amen.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Yeah, no, I'm saying that's that's one of my favorite Yeah.
Speaker 7 (21:28):
Okay, amen, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
Shall we jump into the next one, Yes, let's do it.
Speaker 9 (21:34):
This is a question for Doja Cat. Hey, Doja, I'm
a really huge fan of you. I love your music,
and I have a question about your new studio album
b Out of All Names YV, and how does it
connect to the overall theme of romance set in the eighties.
Speaker 8 (21:50):
Something about French culture is very romantic. I think when
you sink like roses and chocolate and h.
Speaker 7 (22:01):
The S word. I don't know what I can say
on the.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
Radio or wanted to say whatever you want. They just
said in my ear say whatever you want.
Speaker 7 (22:11):
I'm gonna say it ready, one two three, Sex you
think like you think.
Speaker 8 (22:18):
About like French culture, like there's something very sexy about it,
and so I wanted that element, but also I wanted
to talk about my life and my relationship with myself
and the people that I'm romantic with, and so V
made sense because it's my fifth album, and I wanted
to take from the Roman numeral V and stretch it
(22:41):
to a different thing, and it ended up being the
word for life in French, and so that is how
that kind of came about.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
What the album was done in Paris?
Speaker 8 (22:54):
Uh, No, it was done in actually London. There was
a lot of it was done in London and then
in New York because I.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
Was wondering if there was like if it went hand
in hand with the French in the way how the
album was supposed to feel.
Speaker 8 (23:07):
And no, not even, no, it wasn't you would think
one would think I thought that that.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Was like planned out.
Speaker 8 (23:13):
No, not even it would have been nice though, very satisfying.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
I know if you would have been like, let's go
to Paris and.
Speaker 7 (23:21):
Next time been very sexy.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
Next time, next time. All right, let's jump into another
talk back.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Hi doja. My name is Mikayla from New Zealand and
I cannot wait to see you perform in Auckland. Since
your album is inspired by the love languages, I was wondering,
what is the most important love language to you when
you're either in a relationship or you're looking for love.
For me, mine would be physical touch and words of information.
(23:49):
Love you so much?
Speaker 5 (23:53):
Wait, I am like, please don't touch me? That is
the dojer think?
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Face? Look, Oh my god, are you an active service.
Speaker 7 (24:09):
I think that my love language might.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Be words of affirmation.
Speaker 7 (24:13):
What's all five?
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Do you know?
Speaker 3 (24:14):
All five? Wait? Do you guys know of service? Quality time?
Speaker 5 (24:22):
Gifts, words of affirmation, of affirmation, and what's the last one?
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Touch? Touch? Touch? Okay, thank you guys, you're a great
co host.
Speaker 8 (24:32):
I think I think quality time is a big one
for me because I need to be around someone and
take them in, to understand them a bit more and
to feel love to It's like putting yourself like you
being here today and you all being here today is
(24:54):
a form of that, and that's how I know I
feel loved, and so I think that's like a big.
Speaker 7 (25:01):
Important thing for me.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
How do you feel to have like this moment we're
all here listening to these songs, you're getting the reactions
in real time as an artist? Tell me how did
that feel? Are you just like, oh my gosh, make
it stop, or you're like I love this.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
It's a little bit of both.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
But there they were like vibing in.
Speaker 8 (25:23):
I love that I'm able to be on a stage
and be on.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
A couch lip couches at that.
Speaker 7 (25:31):
It's so great.
Speaker 8 (25:32):
I love it and I love that I'm able to
be here with a bunch of people who appreciate what
I'm doing. I do tend to veer away and not
look at people maybe who are listening to my songs
for the first time, because one, sometimes the mixing isn't
so great on these speakers.
Speaker 7 (25:50):
Two they cuts out.
Speaker 8 (25:52):
And there's all types of things happening, and three like
I like, I don't know everybody here, so I don't
know how you know. And it so I'm a little
in my head and also looking at you as well
and seeing how you react. And I do appreciate all
the positive reactions and also the ones that aren't very positive,
(26:13):
because then that is only what makes me better in
the future. So you know, it just makes me more
excited to move forward. But it's nice to be on
a stage on a couch.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Yes, it feels good.
Speaker 7 (26:31):
It's great.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
It feels good. Although I need some I'm gonna need
some help to get up from this couch though.
Speaker 7 (26:39):
Yeah, it's a.
Speaker 8 (26:40):
Little stiff, but it's fine.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
So on Lipstain, you mentioned deleting the dating app Ryah,
did you get recognize a lot on there?
Speaker 7 (26:55):
I guess so, uh, yeah.
Speaker 8 (27:02):
Yeah, that's happened. That's that's happened before, for sure. But
then also there's a handful of people who, I mean
a couple handful.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Was your inbox flooded?
Speaker 7 (27:16):
Yeah, it's flooded because I.
Speaker 8 (27:20):
Swiped the according I've swiped a lot, but I'm really
I'm really curious, like what is everyone's story.
Speaker 7 (27:30):
I've swiped on.
Speaker 8 (27:31):
People that I'm not even attracted to because it's it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Backstories.
Speaker 8 (27:37):
Yeah, I mean, I've swiped on people that I don't
even like, Like I'll read their bio and be like
I hate that, and then I'll like it why so
that I can ask them questions about like why are
you like this?
Speaker 5 (27:51):
See? I like questions like that, like when I when
I meet someone new, I want to know, like why
did your mom lose custody of you back in the day,
like stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
I'm like, okay, let's say that.
Speaker 7 (28:07):
Let's unpack that. Uh, well, that's that's heavy. That's heavy.
Speaker 8 (28:14):
But there was one guy I'm trying to think if
I can remember, somebody was like I actually swiped the
other way on this guy. I didn't care about it
because he was like, I'm a very trustworthy and caring person,
and I noticed that is saying that is kind of scary, like.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
You don't have a red flag.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
You don't.
Speaker 7 (28:32):
You don't say that like that's you just are that.
Speaker 8 (28:37):
I think it's weird when people are like, Hey, I'm
just here, I have a dog, I'm a plant dad,
and I'm a very caring I'm a caring and loving
and very like you know, and very nice guy.
Speaker 7 (28:51):
I'm a really nice guy, right exactly. It doesn't.
Speaker 8 (28:57):
It's like I didn't even want to know like that
that guy. I was like, I don't know, I already know,
but yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
So so what are the first places you played songs
of V? Was that the legendary drag club Oasis in
San Francisco?
Speaker 8 (29:13):
I did, yeah, Oasis, and that was that was fun.
Speaker 7 (29:17):
I think.
Speaker 8 (29:19):
It was interesting. That was like my first time doing that,
So that was that was really.
Speaker 5 (29:23):
A Do you think that was the perfect setting for
folks to hear V? I don't know you're watching that.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
What you're prompted?
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Yeah, no, I haven't.
Speaker 7 (29:35):
But now I want to.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Give me a favor and described the in one word?
Would it be you did this to.
Speaker 7 (29:50):
Yourself, my friend? If I could describe V in one word,
it would be.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
Uh, who said that sexy ten points for you, baby
girls sexy.
Speaker 8 (30:08):
It's sexy like you, like I want to feel sexy
when I'm listening to that album. Like even the songs
that are a little bit sad, they're not kind of sexy,
and that is important, I think to me, at least
with the way that I want to depict this, this album,
this project.

We're a couple of days out.
Speaker 7 (01:07):
Yeah, how are you feeling? I'm excited.
Speaker 8 (01:10):
I think this was something that I wanted to just leak.
I think from like months ago. I wanted to leak
this like six months ago.
Speaker 7 (01:17):
So thank god, yes I do that. I go on
live and.
Speaker 8 (01:21):
I I leak my music a lot. Maybe not something
people like on my team, but I I love I
love making the music, and I want it. I want
people to be in the same spirits that I'm in.
So I like to just play it right after I
get back from the studio.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Do you what is it? You put it up on
SoundCloud or something like that.
Speaker 8 (01:42):
Sometimes I'll do that if it's not, like, if I
don't feel like it's an official album release, I'll do
it if it's uh yeah, if it's kind of like that.
Speaker 7 (01:51):
But for this, I just I come home and I
like play it on live.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
And You're just like, man, people need to hear this
right now. Yeah September twenty sixth, but right now?
Speaker 7 (02:01):
Yeah, why not?
Speaker 3 (02:02):
What the next time you do that? Let me know
so I can hear it earlier.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
Yeah, so let's talk about the name V.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Tell us all about that.
Speaker 8 (02:11):
So it was kind of a chain of events of
like I was like, okay, this is my fifth album. Okay,
and so what's the roman numeral for five? It's a V,
And so I got three v's tatted on my collarbone.
And then I was like, well, how can we stretch
that even more?
Speaker 7 (02:30):
And I thought of the French word v.
Speaker 8 (02:33):
And that means life, and so I wanted to kind
of twist that in a way. And I felt the
album was already really romantic in a way and about
love and.
Speaker 7 (02:48):
You know, like this this stuff.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
What's funny?
Speaker 5 (02:53):
What's funny?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
I felt like that was implied yeah.
Speaker 8 (02:58):
Yeah, vay, so I think, uh yeah, one hundred percent.
And I think that was kind of like I feel like,
without love, there is no life. You know, you have
to love something or someone in order to make another
someone or too. You know, you can't you can't love
(03:22):
your life without uh without loving it or I mean
you can't live your life without you know, I mean
some people don't whatever. Anyway, I'm rambling, but the thing,
the thing is, it sort of made sense to me,
and I I felt like it was right for this,
and it was kind of a sexy word and love
youen rose and you know, it's it's just it made sense.
(03:45):
I feel like, also, the romantic culture of a French
culture is like something that I really kind of stuck
to with this, and the eighties felt quite sexy, and
so I wanted that to be you Epp, are.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
You someone who just is enamored by the seventies and
the eighties.
Speaker 7 (04:09):
Yeah, one hundred percent.
Speaker 8 (04:11):
I love like postmodern furniture and postmodern Italian you know,
design and architecture from the eighties. I think architecture wasn't
really uh, it was really great in the seventies and eighties,
and then something happened with the laws of like how
you can build a house and how you can build
(04:32):
a thing, and like you can't do certain things because
of like earthquakes and safety things, and so now you
can't really make stuff that that's that cool now, I.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Guess that's why they all look like boxes right now.
Speaker 7 (04:44):
Yes, you get a lot of mc mansions is what
I like to.
Speaker 8 (04:48):
Call them mansions, Yeah, with really crappy wood and.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
You know they say manufactured m Yeah. So we are
about to jump into the first single, jealous type.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
What made you pick this as a single?
Speaker 7 (05:04):
I think that it was strong.
Speaker 8 (05:06):
I think in the entirety of it, it was just
very vibrant and in sexy, and it felt also like
something that people maybe aren't comfortable embracing, like being jealous,
Like it felt a little bit like interesting in that sense,
and so kind of the pop element is important, but
(05:28):
also the meaning of it was important to me as well.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
So shall we jump into it?
Speaker 5 (05:34):
All right, guys, here we go Doja and Jealous Type. Yo,
this is our iHeartRadio album preview it Doja caad hashtag dojakat.
That was the first song that Jack Antonov produced, Jealous Type.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
How do we feel about that? You were working with
Jack on this? Tell me about that.
Speaker 8 (05:54):
Yeah, So it started with me and Y two QUE,
who have worked a lot in the past.
Speaker 7 (06:02):
We worked on Planet Her and I think that's it.
Speaker 8 (06:06):
I think I started working on Planet Her with Y
two K and he's fabulous. I mean, he really is
one of my favorite producers and really understands a lot
when it comes to the eighties sound. I think that's
what his most excitable thing is. He like, when I
brought that to him that I wanted to do that,
he was really really excited. So he immediately just like
(06:30):
knocked that one out and we do what we do.
Speaker 7 (06:35):
We did what we do. We did and it was amazing.
We did what we do and it was amazing.
Speaker 8 (06:42):
It was really really fun and really quick and yeah,
I think it was just magic from there. And I
took it to Jack because I wanted some really good
instruments and things that I can't you don't usually get.
I don't know where to source these people who are
so talented, and they, yeah, they were able to add
(07:07):
some stuff to this track that I think it really needed.
Speaker 7 (07:10):
And Jack is just fantastic.
Speaker 8 (07:14):
He really is very talented and he understood what I
wanted and so yeah, it's been great.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Are you the one that's constantly working on the album
up until it's release date?
Speaker 7 (07:33):
Yeah, you know, yes, kind of in a way.
Speaker 8 (07:36):
I think when I have features sometimes I think, especially
with this uh this uh, it's it does end up
happening that way. And I think also artists, you know,
(07:57):
when it comes to features, artists want to be fresh
in the way that they attack a song, and so
a lot of features do end up coming out kind
of last minute, which is so valid and.
Speaker 7 (08:14):
It's a smart way to do it.
Speaker 8 (08:15):
And so I think with this album, where people thought
that maybe there'd be no features, I do have one
feature on this album, and it's a feature that has
always been a great feature and it's not a Dojacat
album without this feature.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Nice.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
So this is the iHeartRadio Album preview with Dojia Kat.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
I'm ej hashtag dojiacat Hey.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
A little bit later, we're going to go into our
iHeartRadio app and share some of your talk back messages
from all of your fans.
Speaker 3 (08:51):

Speaker 7 (08:53):

Speaker 9 (09:08):
Let's do it?
Speaker 7 (09:08):
Please yo?
Speaker 5 (09:13):
Not the song from me, which is out Friday, brand
new from Doja kat. So you said earlier that this
song is very much about love. Is it exhausting constantly
being in the public eye?
Speaker 3 (09:25):
M sure, sure, sure, I would tell you something.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
I don't know how you guys do it, because I
would be stressed constantly.
Speaker 8 (09:33):
Well, when you post something on Instagram, do your friends
ever give you You never get like a weird message
from somebody anybody.
Speaker 7 (09:42):
It's weird.
Speaker 8 (09:43):
Yeah, it's weird putting yourself out there at all. It
doesn't matter if you're famous or or this or that.
I think it's just it's very weird to be able
to put a picture and then a million people can
look at it. I think there's just some people, you know,
where it it flows the way that a lot more
people see it. And so yeah, I mean that's annoying sometimes.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
Yeah, I would be like all the people people probably
are in your inbox saying all types of stuff too.
Speaker 7 (10:17):
I don't check that.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
No, no, don't try to DM Doja because she ain't
checking it out.
Speaker 8 (10:22):

ej make sure we're using the hashtag iHeart Doja.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Cat all right.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
Time for another song from b which is out Friday.
The song is Stranger. Tell me a little bit about Stranger.
Speaker 8 (10:47):
This song is about accepting the person that you like
for who they are and not for who other people
think they should be for you. I think that a
lot of people have been like, oh, man, I think
he's fine. Oh she's really hot to me, And you
hear your friends say things like, well, I don't think
(11:09):
she's this, or I don't think she's and like, sometimes
your friends are right, but for the most part, I
mean physically, it's like, you know, they're too goofy, or
they're too there, they have a chip tooth, their haircut
is weird. I don't like their haircut, I like the
way they dress whatever, like And this is kind of that.
(11:29):
And this is accepting the person that you're with because
you love them and following your heart when it comes
to love.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
So that's stranger.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Here we go, you guys ready for it.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
This is the iHeartRadio Album Preview with Dojia Cat.

can collaborate with any artist, who would it be?
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I know, give us the Tea girl man.
Speaker 8 (12:02):
A handful of people, I think right off the bat.
Speaker 7 (12:06):
Nick Hakeem is one. Uh. Connon Moccasin is another.
Speaker 8 (12:13):
Uh. I think Scizza is always going to be someone
that I that I revere and I love and I just.
Speaker 7 (12:26):
Uh, who else? Man? I mean those are three people
that are incredible. There's other people.
Speaker 8 (12:34):
I'm gonna go home and I'm gonna be like on
the toilet and be like, oh, why didn't I say that?
Speaker 3 (12:42):
I have to say.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
We're about to jump into what I feel like is
my favorite song.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Awmen, hold on, hold on, let's just jump into it.
Can we just jump into it? All right? Drop it?
Speaker 5 (12:57):
Why we are checking out our iHeart Radio Album Preview

Speaker 5 (13:19):
Shall we jump into the next song. So we're gonna

Speaker 3 (13:27):
We're gonna drop it. We're gonna drop it, talk about
it next. How does that sound? All right?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
There we go, Let's do it, Doja Cat.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Thank you so much for being here.
Speaker 7 (13:58):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
We absolutely can weight for the new album B All right,
So let's talk about your last album, Scarlet. How is
this new one V? How is that different from Scarlet?
Speaker 7 (14:11):
It's different in a lot of ways.
Speaker 8 (14:13):
I think the subject matter is a lot more different.
I think Scarlet was about a specific emotion and I
think that's fear, pain, anger, frustration.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
And things like that. That was that.
Speaker 8 (14:30):
And V is very different because it's, you know, during Scarlet,
like I did, talk about love and romance and passion
and things like that. But V is different because it's
more trying to connect with a more joyful spirit, more
joyful and wanting to feel sexy and feminine in a
(14:55):
different way. And I think it's different also because of
the era that I'm sort of pointing at with it.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
It's very eighties.
Speaker 8 (15:03):
It's not a period piece, but there's a lot of
inspiration from a different time. With Scarlet, there was some
moments where there were samples. I think a Gore Hills
was obviously sampled and that was kind of, you know,
that was a little bit of a hint to what
the next thing was supposed to be. So, but other
(15:26):
than that, I mean they're very different in that sense.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
Are those different headspaces that you're in when you write
a Scarlet from a v.
Speaker 8 (15:36):
Yes, Scarlet was something that I did for myself that
I feel I needed to do and it paid off,
like it felt great, Like what I got out of
it was great emotional comfort, and it felt like I
gave myself a time to speak and not you know,
(16:01):
not try to pander or try to be something that
other people needed or wanted need to be.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
So how do you get to that headspace to not
pander or to not do things that people want you
to do.
Speaker 8 (16:29):
I mean it took me a long time to get
to that headspace. Yeah, I mean it takes a lot
of mistakes of making a lot of mistakes or expressing
myself impulsively or doing things that are.
Speaker 7 (16:50):
Very human And.
Speaker 8 (16:55):
It was just really like a floor for the child
inside of me. I gave myself a stage and a
floor the self that was not fully grown, really fully realized.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
And I think that that was needed.
Speaker 8 (17:16):
I don't know what it takes to get there, other
than making mistakes and being human, so it was important.
I think that was sort of my reflection on that.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
Do you feel like you did that album to serve
the inner child inside of you?
Speaker 7 (17:33):
Yeah, that's That's kind of what I'm getting at.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Nice.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
So earlier, we promised to play some of your fan
talkback messages that we've been collecting on iHeartRadio, and are.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
You ready to listen to some yees? Let's play the
first one? Yeah, Hey, Dojo.
Speaker 8 (17:52):
I was just wondering what was your go to snack
during the making.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Of the.
Speaker 8 (18:00):
What's my go to snack during the making of the album?
My favorite snack was I was eating a lot of
Peruvian food, really good. There's a place called Po Po
Po Po On. I don't know where it is, but
it's in New York. It's New York, but I don't know.
(18:21):
I don't know where it is, you know what I do.
It's near Electric Lady, and it's really good. And I
was doing chicken and rice and beans.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
And like, you know what you cut up since.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
They'll get it, they'll get it.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
Since you're in New York, you should go into Nork
the iron Bound and get Portuguese food.
Speaker 7 (18:42):
I would love to.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
It's my absolutely okay. I love Portuguese food. So the chicken,
the rice, the ribs, so good. Shall we jump into the.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Next talk about? Here we go, hidoja. My name is
Justin and my question.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Is what was your favorite part of making your new album?
Speaker 8 (19:08):
My favorite part of making my new album there was
a lot of really good parts. Someone asked me this
and I answered with I'll give you two answers. Two
of my favorite parts was when my my I have
a project manager who's like my best friend, and she's
like hilarious. She's very reserved and you like can't make
(19:31):
her do anything. You can't make her dance or like
do anything, like if you're like go back, she'll be like,
no I do why would I do that? And so
she I remember because I had never seen her like
so geeked off of something. But when I made gorgeous,
she like was like kind of like, so I've never
(19:55):
seen her like she just was dancing, and like, I was.
Speaker 7 (19:58):
Like, what wasn't I'm scared she let loose and she
like she was just didn't.
Speaker 8 (20:05):
She was carefree and she was like totally cool with it,
and like, I love that.
Speaker 7 (20:09):
That was something that I was able to.
Speaker 8 (20:12):
Do that and so yeah, Gorgeous was really fun to make.
And another one was when I hit a couple of

Speaker 9 (21:34):
This is a question for Doja Cat. Hey, Doja, I'm
a really huge fan of you. I love your music,
and I have a question about your new studio album
b Out of All Names YV, and how does it
connect to the overall theme of romance set in the eighties.
Speaker 8 (21:50):
Something about French culture is very romantic. I think when
you sink like roses and chocolate and h.
Speaker 7 (22:01):
The S word. I don't know what I can say
on the.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
Radio or wanted to say whatever you want. They just
said in my ear say whatever you want.
Speaker 7 (22:11):
I'm gonna say it ready, one two three, Sex you
think like you think.
Speaker 8 (22:18):
About like French culture, like there's something very sexy about it,
and so I wanted that element, but also I wanted
to talk about my life and my relationship with myself
and the people that I'm romantic with, and so V
made sense because it's my fifth album, and I wanted
to take from the Roman numeral V and stretch it
(22:41):
to a different thing, and it ended up being the
word for life in French, and so that is how
that kind of came about.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
What the album was done in Paris?
Speaker 8 (22:54):
Uh, No, it was done in actually London. There was
a lot of it was done in London and then
in New York because I.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
Was wondering if there was like if it went hand
in hand with the French in the way how the
album was supposed to feel.
Speaker 8 (23:07):
And no, not even, no, it wasn't you would think
one would think I thought that that.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Was like planned out.
Speaker 8 (23:13):
No, not even it would have been nice though, very satisfying.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
I know if you would have been like, let's go
to Paris and.
Speaker 7 (23:21):
Next time been very sexy.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
Next time, next time. All right, let's jump into another
talk back.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Hi doja. My name is Mikayla from New Zealand and
I cannot wait to see you perform in Auckland. Since
your album is inspired by the love languages, I was wondering,
what is the most important love language to you when
you're either in a relationship or you're looking for love.
For me, mine would be physical touch and words of information.
(23:49):
Love you so much?
Speaker 5 (23:53):
Wait, I am like, please don't touch me? That is
the dojer think?
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Face? Look, Oh my god, are you an active service.
Speaker 7 (24:09):
I think that my love language might.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Be words of affirmation.
Speaker 7 (24:13):
What's all five?
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Do you know?
Speaker 3 (24:14):
All five? Wait? Do you guys know of service? Quality time?
Speaker 5 (24:22):
Gifts, words of affirmation, of affirmation, and what's the last one?
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Touch? Touch? Touch? Okay, thank you guys, you're a great
co host.
Speaker 8 (24:32):
I think I think quality time is a big one
for me because I need to be around someone and
take them in, to understand them a bit more and
to feel love to It's like putting yourself like you
being here today and you all being here today is
(24:54):
a form of that, and that's how I know I
feel loved, and so I think that's like a big.
Speaker 7 (25:01):
Important thing for me.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
How do you feel to have like this moment we're
all here listening to these songs, you're getting the reactions
in real time as an artist? Tell me how did
that feel? Are you just like, oh my gosh, make
it stop, or you're like I love this.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
It's a little bit of both.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
But there they were like vibing in.
Speaker 8 (25:23):
I love that I'm able to be on a stage
and be on.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
A couch lip couches at that.
Speaker 7 (25:31):
It's so great.
Speaker 8 (25:32):
I love it and I love that I'm able to
be here with a bunch of people who appreciate what
I'm doing. I do tend to veer away and not
look at people maybe who are listening to my songs
for the first time, because one, sometimes the mixing isn't
so great on these speakers.
Speaker 7 (25:50):
Two they cuts out.
Speaker 8 (25:52):
And there's all types of things happening, and three like
I like, I don't know everybody here, so I don't
know how you know. And it so I'm a little
in my head and also looking at you as well
and seeing how you react. And I do appreciate all
the positive reactions and also the ones that aren't very positive,
(26:13):
because then that is only what makes me better in
the future. So you know, it just makes me more
excited to move forward. But it's nice to be on
a stage on a couch.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Yes, it feels good.
Speaker 7 (26:31):
It's great.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
It feels good. Although I need some I'm gonna need
some help to get up from this couch though.
Speaker 7 (26:39):
Yeah, it's a.
Speaker 8 (26:40):
Little stiff, but it's fine.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
So on Lipstain, you mentioned deleting the dating app Ryah,
did you get recognize a lot on there?
Speaker 7 (26:55):
I guess so, uh, yeah.
Speaker 8 (27:02):
Yeah, that's happened. That's that's happened before, for sure. But
then also there's a handful of people who, I mean
a couple handful.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Was your inbox flooded?
Speaker 7 (27:16):
Yeah, it's flooded because I.
Speaker 8 (27:20):
Swiped the according I've swiped a lot, but I'm really
I'm really curious, like what is everyone's story.
Speaker 7 (27:30):
I've swiped on.
Speaker 8 (27:31):
People that I'm not even attracted to because it's it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Backstories.
Speaker 8 (27:37):
Yeah, I mean, I've swiped on people that I don't
even like, Like I'll read their bio and be like
I hate that, and then I'll like it why so
that I can ask them questions about like why are
you like this?
Speaker 5 (27:51):
See? I like questions like that, like when I when
I meet someone new, I want to know, like why
did your mom lose custody of you back in the day,
like stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
I'm like, okay, let's say that.
Speaker 7 (28:07):
Let's unpack that. Uh, well, that's that's heavy. That's heavy.
Speaker 8 (28:14):
But there was one guy I'm trying to think if
I can remember, somebody was like I actually swiped the
other way on this guy. I didn't care about it
because he was like, I'm a very trustworthy and caring person,
and I noticed that is saying that is kind of scary, like.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
You don't have a red flag.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
You don't.
Speaker 7 (28:32):
You don't say that like that's you just are that.
Speaker 8 (28:37):
I think it's weird when people are like, Hey, I'm
just here, I have a dog, I'm a plant dad,
and I'm a very caring I'm a caring and loving
and very like you know, and very nice guy.
Speaker 7 (28:51):
I'm a really nice guy, right exactly. It doesn't.
Speaker 8 (28:57):
It's like I didn't even want to know like that
that guy. I was like, I don't know, I already know,
but yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
So so what are the first places you played songs
of V? Was that the legendary drag club Oasis in
San Francisco?
Speaker 8 (29:13):
I did, yeah, Oasis, and that was that was fun.
Speaker 7 (29:17):
I think.
Speaker 8 (29:19):
It was interesting. That was like my first time doing that,
So that was that was really.
Speaker 5 (29:23):
A Do you think that was the perfect setting for
folks to hear V? I don't know you're watching that.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
What you're prompted?
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Yeah, no, I haven't.
Speaker 7 (29:35):
But now I want to.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Give me a favor and described the in one word?
Would it be you did this to.
Speaker 7 (29:50):
Yourself, my friend? If I could describe V in one word,
it would be.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
Uh, who said that sexy ten points for you, baby
girls sexy.
Speaker 8 (30:08):
It's sexy like you, like I want to feel sexy
when I'm listening to that album. Like even the songs
that are a little bit sad, they're not kind of sexy,
and that is important, I think to me, at least
with the way that I want to depict this, this album,
this project.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
