"You Right" is a song recorded by American singer and rapper Doja Cat and Canadian singer the Weeknd.[1] It will be released to contemporary hit radio on June 29, 2021,[2] through Kemosabe and RCA Records, as the second single from Doja Cat's third studio album, Planet Her.[3][4]
Background and recording
Doja Cat had expressed her desire for the Weeknd to feature on her third studio album, Planet Her, during the recording process, initially having showed him one song that she herself thought was "the perfect song". According to Doja Cat, that song "ended up not working", however after playing him the original solo version of "You Right", which was already complete with two verses, he became "obsessed" with it and they replaced one of those solo verses with his own.[5][6]
"...he was obsessed with it and that's kind of all I wanted was a very good reaction [...] It's a beautiful, beautiful song."

The song's existence and its status as the "steamy second single" was announced on April 22, 2021, in a Billboard cover story interview with Doja Cat, in which the Weeknd had contributed the statement: "Doja is a star, and has created a unique universe you just want to lose yourself in. She's got such drive and vast creative vision that we will be seeing her impact for a very long time to come."[8] During a red carpet interview at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards in late May, Doja Cat once again confirmed that "You Right" would be the second single from Planet Her following "Kiss Me More".[7] The song will mark the second collaboration between Doja Cat and the Weeknd, following the remix of the Weeknd's 2020 single "In Your Eyes".[4]
Vulture, during its review of Planet Her, described "You Right" as a song that serves to channel the feelings of self-pity.[9]
