Doja Cat has gatecrashed the Top 40 with her effervescent hit “Say So.” How did this Internet personality best known for a song whose chorus is “B***h, I’m a cow!” join the ranks of Dua Lipa, Drake, and The Weeknd? The answer involves a voice that careens from gentle soul to fierce rapping, a catchy chorus that grabs you from the first measure, and most importantly, interpolating the guitar patterns of Nile Rodgers, the secret sauce behind four decades of smash hits. 

Songs featured:

Doja Cat - Say So, Juicy, Fancy, Moo

Chic - Good Times

Sugarhill Gang - Rappers Delight

Diana Ross - I’m Coming Out

David Bowie - Let’s Dance
