The album will feature guest appearances by Ariana Grande, the Weeknd, Young Thug, JID, and SZA, as well as production from frequent collaborators Yeti Beats and Tizhimself, among others.

Background

Doja Cat had released her second studio album Hot Pink in November 2019, and spent most of the year 2020 promoting the album and its singles. She first introduced the concept of "Planet Her" during the opening sequence of her performance at the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards, where she impersonated a television commentator and stated "Performing live on Planet Her is Doja Cat. Enjoy!".[2][3] Following the performance, she told MTV that her then-untitled third studio album would incorporate multiple music genres including dancehall, afrobeat, funk and house, also stating that each song has its own "personality".[4][5] Later in September 2020, Doja Cat revealed that her third studio album was complete and "all ready" for release.[6][7] She also told iHeartRadio in December that it has a number of features and collaborations, and that each song has a "different kind of vibe" to one another.[8] In late December 2020, Doja Cat began teasing the album on Twitter, using the phrase "Planet Her 2021".[9][10]

On January 5, 2021, Doja Cat followed eight musicians on her Twitter account, and subsequently tweeted "Following them for a reason. Guess why.", alluding to imminent collaborations with the followed artists.[11][12][13] The title of the album, Planet Her, was confirmed in an interview with American magazine V in March 2021.[14][15] The track "Kiss Me More", featuring SZA, was confirmed in the same interview.[16] "Kiss Me More" went on to become the lead single from the album; it was released on April 9, 2021.[17][18] In the same month, Doja Cat revealed that the song "You Right" with the Weeknd would serve as the second single from Planet Her.[19][20] The track "Need to Know" was also revealed at the same time.[21] On June 8, 2021, Doja Cat announced that "Need to Know" would serve as the first promotional single from the record, announcing the release date as June 11.[22] The day after, June 9, she announced the album's release date as June 25, the artwork and the track listing via Instagram.[23]

Composition

Meaghan Garvey of Billboard wrote that, on Planet Her, Doja Cat "tones down the genre-hopping experimentation of Hot Pink, but she doesn’t sacrifice its playful versatility, celebrating her femininity and reveling in her sense of humor".[21]

Concept

Doja Cat has alluded to the planet TOI 1338B being a visual depiction of Planet Her.[24]

In an interview with Audacy, Doja Cat explained that Planet Her is "the center of the universe" where "all races of space exist and its where all species can kind of be in harmony there".[25] She noted that by naming the album Planet Her, she was "just trying to be cute" and clarified that it is not a planet for women nor a "feminist thing".[25] Doja Cat also stated in the same interview that the music videos for the singles from the album would all occur on different locations on Planet Her.[25] In an interview with iHeartRadio, she described the album as the most visually captivating project she has ever done, and noted that, because the album focuses on relationships, "it's not a huge statement, not a political statement. It's just Planet Her, for girls".[26] Creative director Brett Alan Nelson revealed that he initially felt worried when Doja Cat told him that she wanted the record to "feel space age", however he explained further: "We're doing a style of futurism that feels fresh. We don't know what our actual future holds, so we are making what Doja Cat's future is. It doesn’t feel like we're paying homage to something; it doesn't seem like we're on the same Pinterest board as everyone else."[21]

I think in the beginning, I was just trying to be solid and be what a pop artist already was: what I’d seen on TV and what I thought was the right thing to do. But as I move on into this Planet Her era, I want to introduce things to people as opposed to just re-create and rehash. It’s just more inspiring to start from a more innovative spot.

— Doja Cat in an interview, Billboard.[21]

Doja Cat said that Planet Her is the first record that "feels fully her own" and that "instead of striving to be a certain kind of pop star, she's simply embodying one".[21] She said that like her previous record Hot Pink (2019), each song would be distinctly different from one another, yet there would be more consistency on Planet Her as opposed to Hot Pink.[27] Before its release, Doja Cat expressed her excitement about releasing R&B music and "exploring different lanes", ultimately describing the album as "unbelievable".[27]
