Lyrics


"Doja" received viral attention on TikTok for its lyrical references to American rapper and singer Doja Cat and for its repeated line "How can I be homophobic? My bitch is gay".[1]


Composition


"Doja" samples the melody from Eve's "Let Me Blow Ya Mind" throughout the entire song.


Reception


David Renshaw of The Fader described the feel of the track as "more tactical than exploitative", which he wrote "is what (just about) saves the song from crashing into offensive territory". Renshaw also opined that the song touches on the "homoerotic undertones of gang culture" although finding that Central Cee does not explore these "observations" beyond mere mentions and that it "has achieved its express goal of grabbing as many eyeballs as possible".[1]


Music video


The song was released alongside its music video, which was directed by Cole Bennett.[2]
