Doja Cat BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
The past few days have marked a tidal shift in my public and creative journey. Most notably I released my fifth studio album, Vie, on September 26, 2025, a project that’s already drawing headlines for its blend of retro pop influences and deeply personal themes. The title is a play on words—Vie means "life" in French and also stands for the Roman numeral V, marking my fifth album. I told Sony Music my intent was for the album to capture curiosity, adventure, and change—a modern twist on love, sex, romance, pain, and wonder within relationships, both with others and myself.
To celebrate, I hosted an exclusive album launch party in partnership with Apple Music at their new Los Angeles studio. Club Vie, as it was called, was live-streamed for fans and media, and I made it clear on stage that I want everyone to feel empowered to be themselves—sexy, confident, and unconcerned with internet opinions. My style and performance that night were all about expressing that freedom and drama, as covered by Headline Planet.
Business moves are just as much a part of the rollout as the music: I launched a new Amazon Music merch line inspired by Vie, full of 80s flair—think berets, silk scarves, and even a rose-shaped compact mirror. The collection also includes a limited clear vinyl edition of the album, a nod to both collectors and nostalgia seekers. Amazon powers the whole drop, and it’s moving fast.
On screen, I’m keeping busy: I’ll cohost The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on October 1, pairing up with Jimmy for sketches, games, and some surprise moments—NBC’s own preview suggests it’ll be a big event. Then, October 4, I’ll make my Saturday Night Live debut as musical guest on the season premiere hosted by Bad Bunny. Billboard and NBC have both profiled the significance, pointing to my ongoing transition from digital hitmaker into one of pop’s premier live entertainers.
On social media and in music news, my new video for Gorgeous is everywhere, featuring not just an army of top models—Alek Wek, Irina Shayk, Karen Elson, Paloma Elsesser, Amelia Gray, among others—but my own mom, Deborah Sawyer, who makes a cameo as I rap “I look like my family, I don’t need to brag.” Directed by Bardia Zeinali, the video is a glossy homage to 80s beauty commercials and, as Lifestyle magazine raved, it’s captivating a whole new generation with its visuals and vibes.
Recently, I also made waves at the MTV VMAs with a headline-grabbing red carpet look and a surprise performance of Jealous Type with Kenny G on saxophone, an appearance covered by AOL and The Business Standard, further cementing this Vivienne-era as one of bold visual statements and risk-taking pop.
Looking ahead, I'll headline Primavera Sound next summer alongside The Cure and Gorillaz, signaling my new era's international staying power. With headline after headline tracing a dramatic new chapter in my music, my persona, and my business profile, there’s a sense that Vie is more than an album: it’s a new direction for Doja Cat, one where nostalgia, reinvention, and empowerment take center stage.
