‘Say So’ continues to prove itself just what the doctor Luke ordered for rising rapstress Doja Cat.

Having spent the last 6 years building buzz for her animated and often eccentric Rap offerings, the 24-year-old finally broke through with the 2019 ‘Hot Pink’ tune.

Now, less than three weeks after becoming her first single to hit the Hot 100’s top 10 (as we reported here), ‘Say’ – five months after its release – has been recognized by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) as the femcee’s first Platinum hit by her lonesome.

Lauren Jauregui highlights the joys of social and emotional distancing with her new single, ’50ft.’

Speaking on the song’s creation, the former Fifth Harmony hitmaker shared:

“I wrote it from a space of reflection on how I interact with the world energetically,” Jauregui wrote in the caption of the Instagram post she shared to announce the song’s April 17 arrival. “This artwork truly encapsulates the feeling of distance spoken about in the song while asserting the closeness of my relationship to my loved ones who hold me the f*ck down always and forever in the midst of it all.”

Though she hasn’t revealed if the song is part of a forthcoming packaged EP or LP, what we do know is the 23-year-old has built quite the impressive solo discography since the group disbanded. ’50ft,’ a whole mood-and-a-half,’ is no exception.
