Planet Her is the third studio album by American singer and rapper Doja Cat. It was released on June 25, 2021, by Kemosabe and RCA Records. The album, titled after a fictional planet created by Doja Cat, sees the artist experimenting with sounds that were new and unfamiliar to her, in an attempt to depart from the mainstream trends expected of pop artists. To further explain the name, she likened her musical style's shift in the record to travelling outside of Earth and into outer space.
Doja Cat served as Planet Her's executive producer alongside frequent collaborator Yeti Beats. Both worked with producers Al Shux, Dr. Luke, Aaron Bow, RogΓ©t Chahayed, Mayer Hawthorne, Kurtis McKenzie, and Y2K, among others. She enlisted several singers and rappers to feature as guest appearances, including Young Thug, Ariana Grande, the Weeknd, JID, and SZA, as well as rappers Eve and Gunna, who appear on the standard deluxe edition. A record that explores and incorporates a wide variety of genres, Planet Her is an amalgamation of pop, R&B, and hip hop styles. Lyrically, the album touches on several topics and themes, focusing on femininity, solitude, romance, and sexual relationships.
The album has spawned five singles: "Kiss Me More" featuring SZA, "You Right" with the Weeknd, "Need to Know", "Woman", and "Get Into It (Yuh)". The first four songs all charted within the top 15 of both the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart. Planet Her reached number one in New Zealand and spent four non consecutive weeks at number two on the Billboard 200 chart in the United States. Landing inside the top ten in a dozen other countries, it finished 2021 as the tenth best-selling album worldwide. It also broke the record for the biggest opening day for an album by a female rapper on Spotify.
Upon release, Planet Her was met with generally positive reviews from music critics, most of whom praised Doja Cat's musical versatility and her vocal deliveries. The album was nominated for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards, while "Need to Know" was nominated for Best Melodic Rap Performance. The single "Kiss Me More" received nominations for Record of the Year, and Song of the Year, and won the award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
Doja Cat rose to prominence in August 2018 as a "meme star" and internet phenomenon with the novelty song "Mooo!".[4][5] Doja Cat released her second studio album Hot Pink in November 2019, and spent most of 2020 promoting its singles.[6] In August 2020, she told MTV that her then-untitled third studio album would incorporate multiple music genres and that each song had its own "personality".[7][8] Later in September 2020, Doja Cat revealed that her third studio album was complete and "all ready" for release.[9][10] She also told iHeartRadio in December that it has a number of features and collaborations, and that each song has a "different kind of vibe" to one another.[11]
Half of the album was written in Hawaii in February 2019, where Doja Cat was on vacation with her manager and co-writer Lydia Asrat, recovering from a recent breakup.[13] Recording for the album mostly took place under the lockdown constraints of the COVID-19 pandemic,[13] largely between Doja Cat and American record producer Y2K's home studio,[14][15][16] and The Sound Factory and Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles, California with American recording engineer Rian Lewis.[15] Lewis claims that Doja Cat produced all her own vocals from inside the booth "with impeccable precision and intention," and that "every harmony, every massive stack, every backing vocal in a character voice... those are all her ideas, 100%."[17] Doja Cat previewed the album tracks "Payday", "Ain't Shit" and "Love to Dream" while on Instagram livestreams in April 2020, May 2020 and May 2021 respectively.[18]:β10:26β[19][20] She recorded the final vocals for the opening track, "Woman", a month before the album was released.[21]
In April 2021, shortly after confirming its title, Doja Cat said that Planet Her is the first record that "feels fully her own" and that "instead of striving to be a certain kind of pop star, she's simply embodying one".[12] She said that like her previous record Hot Pink (2019), each song would be distinctly diff
