On Friday (July 15), Doja Cat announced that her forthcoming fifth studio album, Vie, is coming this September. The singer-rapper hopped on Instagram to share the exciting announcement with fans, writing, “Je sais que tu es ma vie Vie out 9/26.”

The French phrase translates to “I know you are my life.” Judging by the video and caption Doja posted, this upcoming project is heavily inspired by Parisian culture. The “Say So” singer has been teasing the album since last October.

Back in March, she shared snippets of a few tracks that will appear on the album, including one named “Lipstain.” Similarly, to her past work, the tracks seem to pull inspiration from a variety of genres. In a recent interview with V magazine, Doja Cat revealed that Vie would be a “pop-driven project.”

“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 to it, who enjoy it, but maybe also don’t respect it or what it is, which is just music … They see it as if this is some kind of football for girls and gays,” she told the outlet.

Doja Cat’s last project was 2023’s Scarlet, which worked as her departure from pop music; she aimed to prove that she was not just a pop star, but a skilled rapper. Prior to releasing the project, she said in an interview that she had done “a lot of pink and soft things, a lot of pop and glittery sounds,” but with Scarlet, she wanted a “more masculine direction.”

Upon its release, Scarlet spawned two hit singles, “Paint The Town Red” and “Agora Hills.” The project peaked at number four on the US Billboard 200—becoming Doja Cat’s third top-ten entry on the chart.
