Freaky Deaky

Edit

"Freaky Deaky" is a song by Tyga and Doja Cat. It was released on February 25, 2022, through EMPIRE Distribution, Kemosabe Records, Last Kings Records and RCA Records, as the intended lead single of Tyga's upcoming eighth studio album.

Background[]

In 2019, Doja Cat featured Tyga in a remix of her song "Juicy", becoming her first Billboard Hot 100 entry and peaking at number 41 in February 2020. Around that time, Tyga recorded "Freaky Deaky", which he immediately sent to Doja Cat, considering her as the best collaborator choice for it. However due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the single release was pushed back with the original music video concept being scrapped. For Apple Music, Tyga told Zane Lowe that he enjoys working with Doja Cat, calling her a "true artist".[1]

On February 21, 2022, Tyga and Doja Cat posted a photo of them together on social media with the caption "Friday", alluding to a possible collaboration.[2] Four days later, "Freaky Deaky" was released for digital download and streaming as the lead single of Tyga's upcoming eighth studio album.[3] EMPIRE Distribution and RCA Records made the song available for airplay on mainstream and rhythmic contemporary panels in the United States on the same day. It later officially impacted these formats on March 8, 2022.[4]

A remix by Dutch-Moroccan disc jockey R3hab was released exclusively for a digital download on Empire Distribution's online store on April 14, 2022.[5] The following day, it was distributed across all music platforms. "Freaky Deaky" was featured on the 83rd volume of Now That's What I Call Music!, released on August 5, 2022 through Universal Music Group.[6] A sped-up version of the song was released on December 2, 2022.[7] To celebrate the one-year anniversary of the single's release, Empire Distribution and Last Kings Records issued a 7-inch picture disc.[8]

Reception[]

Dubbed as a "flirtarious" track by Wongo Okon of Uproxx,[9] "Freaky Deaky" was praised by Blanchet, saying it is a "proper collaboration" with "enough vocal flourishes and backing runs".[10] In an article published on Rap-Up, it was opined that both rappers have an "undeniable chemistry".[11] Westdeutscher Rundfunk's Isabel von Glahn compared the single with the rappers' previous collaboration, "Juicy", writing that it is "even sexier".[12]

Yohann Rouelle from Pure Charts called the track a "voluptuous and carnal invitation to succumb to your desires".[13] Kaitlyn McNab from Teen Vogue described it as "light", "flirty", "fun", "upbeat and catchy".[14] Another positive review was issued by iHeart's Sean Strife; the author enjoyed the track, saying that "the beat is great, hook is super catchy, Tyga kills it and Doja both sings and raps flawlessly".[15] Jon Powell from Revolt opined that the single is "both perfect for the bedroom and dance floor".[16] XXL listed "Freaky Deaky" as one of the best new songs of the week.[17] R3hab's rendition of the song was called "hot" by Hayley Hynes of HotNewHipHop.[18]

Commercial performance[]

In the United States, "Freaky Deaky" debuted at its peak of number 43 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[19] It gradually fluctuated on the chart and remained on it for a total of 16 weeks.[20] On chart issue May 7, 2022, Doja Cat ascended to the number one spot on the Artist 100 for the first time, with the help of five of her songs being in circulation on the Hot 100, including "Freaky Deaky" at number 54.[21] The following week, the single topped the Rhythmic Airplay Chart for a week.[22] According to Luminate Data, it was the most-played song on monitored rhythmic radio stations in the US, gaining 16% growth in comparison to the previous week, when it logged number three. "Freaky Deaky" became Tyga's fourth and Doja Cat's seventh number one on the aforementioned chart.[23] Additionally, Doja Cat became the first female artist with three songs charting simultaneously in the survey's top ten. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) awarded the single with a platinum certification for 1,000,000 sold units.[24] In Canada, "Freaky Deaky" debuted at number 44 on the Canadian Hot 100, while on the Billboard Global 200 it entered at number 37.[25][26]

Elsewhere, "Freaky Deaky" peaked at number 36 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Tyga's eighth and Doja Cat's 11th top 40 entry.[27][28] It was cerified silver in the United Kingdom by British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for selling 200,000 copies.[29] In Australia, the single entered the ARIA Singles Chart at number 29, becoming Tyga's first chart entry since "Haute" ― which peaked at number 50 in June 2019.[30] For Doja Cat, it is her third song that became present on the chart this week. The single was certified gold by Recorded Music NZ (RMNZ) for moving 15,000 copies in New Zealand.[31]

Music video[]

The Christian Breslauer-directed music video premiered on February 25, 2022, alongside the single release.[32] It was teased one day earlier by Tyga, who posted an 18-second-long snippet of it on his social media.[33] The rapper recalled numerous times that the concept of the clip was changed, since it was initially set to be in a snowy landscape. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the shooting was cancelled. About a year and a half later, he texted Breslauer with a "futuristic" vision for the video instead.[34] It has been described as "colorful", with the most prominent color being rose.[35]

A "flirtatious" video begins with Tyga and Doja Cat exchanging lewd messages and planning their appointment. Later, they both dress up using high-tech machines. The following scene shows Tyga riding through a neon-lit city.[36] As he approaches Doja Cat's flat, he falls through a trap door into her cat-filled lair.[37] Afterwards, the performers are in plastic packaging. Doja Cat wears various sultry lingerie and colorful PVC outfits, while Tyga plays the role of a voyeur. Due to its adult-oriented nature, the video was called "playful" by Erika Marie of HotNewHipHop, while Glahn said it is "almost reminiscent of a sex tape".[38]
