Composition


The song's lyrics refer to a man who was an "underwhelming lover"[4] whom Doja Cat feels "never deserved her attention".[5]


Critical reception


Writing for Consequence, Carys Anderson felt that Doja Cat "lives up to the challenge" of Luhrmann "pairing historical content with modern music", calling it "Ain't Shit" meets "Hound Dog".[6] Wongo Okon of Uproxx remarked that Doja "raps with a vengeance".[4]


Commercial performance


"Vegas" peaked at number ten on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming Doja's seventh top-ten single. The song also reached number one on the Pop Songs chart, making it the first solo soundtrack song to reach the top of that chart since Justin Timberlake's "Can't Stop the Feeling!" in 2016. It also makes her the artist with the most number ones on Pop Songs this decade as well as the most top 10s among women on the Billboard Hot 100 this decade.[7]

Prior to its official release, Doja Cat performed "Vegas" for the first time during the 2022 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. She was joined by Sonkah Dukureh, who performed the sample she provided for the song.[8]
