You Right

“You Right” is the 8th track from American singer-songwriter and rapper Doja Cat and her third studio album “Planet Her”, which features Canadian singer and rapper The Weeknd.

The smooth R&B track sees Doja Cat reveal her feelings towards another man while being with her partner, with The Weeknd playing the role of “the other man”, teasing Doja Cat with what could be between them physically. Doja Cat had previously admitted her desire to work with The Weeknd on “Planet Her”. and initially showed him a song that she thought was “the perfect song”, however it ended up “not working”. After Doja Cat played The Weeknd the original solo version of “You Right”, she stated that he became “obsessed” with the song and replaced one of the solo verses with The Weeknd’s own. In the extended version of the song, Doja Cat’s original second verse made its way back into the song. Speaking to E! News online, Doja Cat expressed her response to The Weeknd wanting to be a part of “You Right”:

“…he was obsessed with it and that’s kind of all I wanted was a very good reaction […] It’s a beautiful, beautiful song.”

The music video for “You Right” was released alongside the song on the 25th June 2021 on Youtube and was directed by Quentin Deronzier. The video shows Doja Car as a goddess like figure in a fictional kingdom that lives in the cloud. Doja Cat sings about her desire to cheat on her partner with the Weeknd, who is portrayed as an entity that lives in the sky until he visits Doja Cat. The video is also heavily influenced by astrology with Doja Cat and The Weeknd paying homage to their star signs throughout the video – be it through hairstyles or actions. In a little under a month, the video has received over 46 million views with 1.1 million views.
