Doja Cat’s long-awaited third studio album Planet Her has finally arrived, and the lean 14-track project features some pretty impressive guest features from artists such as J.I.D, SZA, The Weeknd, Ariana Grande, and Young Thug. Over the years, fans have come to appreciate Doja Cat’s unbelievable versatility on albums such as Amala and Hot Pink, and her latest full-length effort is no different.
One of the early standouts from the genre-bending album is “Payday,” the highly anticipated track that marks the first official collaboration between Doja Cat and Young Thug.

While both of the artists are incredibly skilled rappers, “Payday” finds both of them in their pop bag, delivering a melodic and upbeat record. Doja Cat leads the show with an infectious hook and bridge combo, while Young Thug contributes a quick verse, and as expected, they both feel right at home over the hyperpop production from Y2K.

Quotable Lyrics
And I’m bilingual, talking money conversations
And, baby, we are not the same, make no mistakes, yeah (Make no mistakes)
You gotta face it (You gotta face)
‘Cause I just keep addin’ up and they run it up
And then add it up, and they run it, run it
