"Hands Off" is an unreleased song by Doja Cat. It was created herself during Periscope and Instagram livestreams in June 2018, however it was never released to SoundCloud, where she'd usually release home-recorded songs. The song currently remains in low quality.
Background[]
On June 13, 2018, Doja Cat went on Periscope live, titling it "MY HEART BEATS FOR PRIDE đ" and started making a beat. She eventually ended up scrapping the beat and started "Hands Off", finishing the songs production and recording her vocals. After 4 hours, she ended the livestream then switched to Instagram Live, continuing the song. The Periscope livestream is one of her only lives that are saved and fully watchable on her page.[1]
On June 15, 2018, Doja Cat went on Periscope live again and continued the song, finishing it off completely with removing the first verse. The livestreams title wrote "Finishing âHands Offâ + maybe starting something newâŚ". Unlike the other livestream, this one is unavailable to watch completely; however, a 2-minute-long screen recorded video was shared by a viewer.
Lyrics[]
[Intro]
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Hard to start a, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
[Chorus]
Keep your hands off me (Off me)
Cannot control whatâs on my mind
Thoughtsâll get naughty, yeah
Swinginâ my body side to side
Look what you're doing to me
Itâs just too hard to start a fight
Keep your hands off me (Off me)
Wait âtill this party starts to die
[Post-Chorus]
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
[Verse]
Boy, you know I try to brush you off
'Cause I got a feeling that you
Just want sum'n, sum'n unfamiliar now (Rush)
You tryna let go, cause you tryna let go
Tryna be myself but I need a second
Hush yo' mouth, boy, when you say sum'n
Somethin' dangerous, it takes all the worth from my words
You feel so great, I do wrong, and I wish you'd
[Chorus]
Keep your hands off me (Off me)
Cannot control whatâs on my mind
Thoughtsâll get naughty, yeah
Swinginâ my body side to side
Look what you're doing to me
Itâs just too hard to start a fight
Keep your hands off me (Off me)
Wait âtill this party starts to die
[Post-Chorus]
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
[Bridge]
Yeah, let me tell you this first
Boy, youâre making me purr
You tryna make it want more
But, baby, this hurts, when youâre touching my curves
Tell me all the right words, I think I might burst
Gettinâ all on my nerves, feelinâ on my skirt
And then I might burst, wanna tell the whole world
That either way that it works, baby
[Outro]
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

[Verse 1]
Something âbout you on my mind
I've got a man but, damn, you fine
When we leave this club tonight
Iâm gonna have you on my mind
Itâs not much like weâre in love
Not tryna hide but tried to run
Shouldnât have to tell you twice
We on until this party dies
