Doja Cat opens up about the constant album title changes for her fourth album

Doja Cat has been working on her fourth album following the release of 2021′s ‘Planet Her’, teasing fans with song titles and snippets.

She’s revealed one potential title for the album–‘Hellmouth’–before canceling that and saying the album would actually be called ‘First of All’.

In a now-deleted tweet, Doja came out again to negate that title, saying she’ll be changing the album title once more.

Doja has now come out to speak about what’s causing the title changes, and the creative process behind her upcoming album, which she previously stated was “basically done”.

Judging album titles based on fans’ reactions

“I put my ADHD kind of on display — by accident, I guess,” she told Insider on the constant album title changes.

“I thought that ‘Hellmouth’ was the name of the album, but then it wasn’t. But I’m good at doing things last minute. So I’ve been firing off random stuff and reading comments and seeing how people receive it and then, you know, saying ‘no’ a lot. ‘Just kidding.’”

Doja, however, seems certain of an album title but perhaps is less willing to air it out in public.

“I do think that I finally have a title,” but confirms it won’t be ‘First of All’.

Doja is gravitating away from pop

Doja has previously tweeted that she’s tired of pop music and that her new album would be entirely rap influenced. She even went so far as to trash her previous albums, saying “planet her and hot pink were cash-grabs and yall fell for it,” in another series of now-deleted tweets.

The ‘Streets’ singer previously hinted at wanting to explore different genres, including “90s German rave kind of vibe”, or releasing an album that was half-rap, half-pop, or even a darker, punk-inspired album.

Her aesthetic has reflected her desire for change. She recently went bald and has been seen sporting more “punk” or “goth” fashion, but she doesn’t feel caged in a specific genre or style.

“It fluctuates. I can’t really define what it is,” she explained.

“But musically, I’ve been trying to go back and sort of pull from things that were huge influences to me as a kid. You know, like jazz influences and stuff like that. So that’s been a big inspiration for me lately and sort of a defining characteristic of my music.”
