Global music sensation Doja Cat has officially launched her next artistic chapter with the release of her new single, "Jealous Type." The track, produced by Jack Antonoff and Y2K, serves as the first preview of her highly anticipated fifth studio album, "Vie," scheduled for release on September 26, 2025.
"Jealous Type" marks a sonic evolution for Doja Cat, embracing a more pop-centric sound with influences from funk-pop and disco-pop. The song delves into themes of love and intimacy, representing a departure from her previous work. The accompanying music video, directed by Boni Mata, pays homage to 1980s pop culture with a distinct retro aesthetic, featuring Doja Cat interacting with a mirrored version of herself, symbolizing duality. This '80s-inspired direction aligns with the album's overall sound, which Doja Cat has described as a blend of retrofuturism, pop, and romance.
The production team, including Jack Antonoff, known for his rock-influenced approach and layered '80s-reminiscent instrumentation, and Y2K, recognized for crafting contemporary hits with nostalgic undertones, complements the album's thematic direction. Doja Cat has indicated that therapy sessions have influenced the album's exploration of concepts such as love bombing and naivety, contributing to a deeper dive into themes of identity and personal expression.
In conjunction with the new music, Doja Cat has announced her "Ma Vie World Tour," her first-ever arena tour. The tour is set to commence on November 18, 2025, in Auckland, New Zealand, with dates planned across New Zealand, Australia, and Asia, concluding on December 21, 2025, in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. This extensive tour aims to bring her evolving artistry and new music to a global audience.
