A Bold New Chapter
Doja Cat has unveiled her new single Jealous Type, released on August 21, 2025, as the first taste of her upcoming fifth studio album Vie. The track marks a noticeable shift into pop territory, blending funk-pop and disco-pop with her signature charisma. It contrasts the darker, edgier sound of her previous album Scarlet, signaling a fresh new era for the artist.
Lyrical Intimacy Meets Retro Grooves
The song explores the theme of jealousy in an honest and vulnerable way. Doja Cat admits her flaws with lyrics like, “Baby, I can’t hurt you, sure, but I’m the jealous type.” The track walks the line between confession and empowerment, pairing emotional candor with an irresistibly catchy groove.
Production & Creative Roots
Jealous Type was co-written and produced by Doja herself alongside Y2K and Jack Antonoff, whose polished pop credentials include Taylor Swift, Lorde, and Lana Del Rey. The production leans into retro-futuristic elements, drawing from the playful energy of 1980s funk and disco-pop.
A Visual Feast of Retro Aesthetics
The official video, directed by Boni Mata, is a dazzling throwback to the neon-soaked 1980s. Doja Cat plays with duality, often confronting her mirror-image self in bold fashion choices. She dances atop a limousine, lounges in champagne-soaked glamour, and delivers bold, seductive visuals designed to grab attention.
