The surreal visual sees the artist plucking out her eyeball as the audience watches it fall into the depths of hell. From there, Doja proceeds to cozy up with death, sway with the devil, toss chunks of bloody meat, and ride a gigantic green creature through the sky.
The new track was produced by Earl on the Beat and samples Dionne Warwick’s 1964 hit song “Walk on By.” For her new track’s chorus, Doja raps, “Bitch, I said what I said/I’d rather be famous instead/I let all that get to my head/I don’t care, I paint the town red.”
“My happiness is all of your misery,” she notes. Whether intentional or not, that seems like applicable to fan criticism of her choice to date a man who has been accused of sexual misconduct. Given the track’s title, it would appear that these lyrics are written from the perspective of Doja Cat’s combative, attention-grabbing new alter ego, Scarlet. We suppose this means we’re one step closer to her upcoming fourth album being red-dy.
Doja leaked the song herself in a recent Instagram Live broadcast, in which she spent the duration of the song painting a white canvas deep red. She also teased the track on Twitter with a short clip of the chorus as red paint splattered around the screen and the camera pulled out to reveal the song title written in bloody finger painting.
