On Friday, July 15, Doja Cat officially announced her fifth studio album, Vie, set for release on September 26, 2025. The singer-rapper shared the exciting news with fans on Instagram, captioning a short Parisian-inspired video:
“Je sais que tu es ma vie 🥖 Vie out 9/26.”
For fans curious about the French phrase, it translates to “I know you are my life.” The teaser suggests that Vie will carry a strong Parisian and European influence, blending culture, fashion, and music aesthetics into her next project.
What We Know About Vie So Far
Doja Cat has been hinting at the album since October of last year, building anticipation with cryptic posts and snippets. In March 2025, she previewed several tracks, including one titled “Lipstain,” giving fans a taste of the genre-blending sound that’s expected to define the album.
In a recent V Magazine interview, Doja described Vie as a pop-driven project, emphasizing her confidence in exploring mainstream music:
“I know that I can make pop music, and pop is just that — it’s popular. It starts to become a bit of a thing that’s viewed as a sport by people who are just bystanders… They see it as if this is some kind of football for girls and gays.”
Her words suggest that Vie will continue Doja’s trend of pushing boundaries in pop music while staying unapologetically authentic.
From Scarlet to Vie: A Musical Evolution
Doja Cat’s previous project, 2023’s Scarlet, marked a departure from pop, as she leaned into her skills as a rapper. In interviews, she described the project as a move toward a “more masculine direction” after years of “pink and soft things, a lot of pop and glittery sounds.”
Despite the shift, Scarlet produced two hits:
- Paint The Town Red
- Agora Hills
The album peaked at #4 on the US Billboard 200, becoming Doja Cat’s third top-ten entry on the chart, proving her versatility and commercial appeal across genres.

- “Doja going Parisian? Can’t wait for the vibes from Vie!”
- “Pop, rap, fashion — Doja always delivers. September 26 can’t come soon enough!”
- “She keeps evolving. Scarlet was fire, but Vie feels like a whole mood.”
With her track record of hits and genre experimentation, fans are already predicting chart-topping singles and viral moments from the new project.
