Scarlet is Doja Cat's first project with no guest features since her debut, and it documents a deliberate pivot from the pop-R&B of Planet Her toward a rap-forward, more personal record. Doja Cat (credited as Amala Dlamini) wrote all the lyrics and took co-writing credits across the tracklist alongside her producers. The production team is sprawling, with Earl on the Beat anchoring singles like 'Paint the Town Red,' 'Agora Hills,' and 'Shutcho,' Kurtis McKenzie handling cuts such as 'Balut,' and Jay Versace producing '97,' 'Often,' and 'Love Life.' Neal Pogue mixed and Mike Bozzi mastered the album.
Scarlet is Doja Cat's fourth studio album, released September 22, 2023. The 15-track album marked a stylistic pivot toward harder hip-hop, moving away from the polished pop-R&B sound of Planet Her. It debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 and produced 'Paint the Town Red,' which became her first solo number-one single globally, reaching number one in seven countries. The album's raw, confrontational energy was interpreted as a response to online criticism and her public persona controversies in 2022-2023.
