Vie (translated: "Life" from French) is the upcoming fifth studio album by American rapper and singer Doja Cat. It is scheduled to be released around mid-2025, theoretically May 5, 2025, under Kemosabe and RCA Records.
Background[]
On October 25, 2024, Doja Cat tweeted "album" and "vvv" via X (formerly known as Twitter), leading fans to believe Doja was recording and heading to release her fifth album.[1]
On October 26, 2024, Doja Cat held an exclusive Airbnb event for which she selected 15 fans to visit her mansion and spend a day with her. Part of the event was a listening party and performance of her popular tracks. Among the previously released tracks, she played many songs that were never heard before, including some scrapped songs from her previous album Scarlet, said to be considered for her upcoming fifth studio album. While Doja Cat did confirm a few of these songs could possibly be included on the record, she noted that their release is not a foregone conclusion.
On November 12, 2024, Doja Cat posted an unordered and uncomplete tracklist to X, two of the tracks being older scraps. The tweet has since been deleted and later a new tweet was made, stating "Songs are in no particular order. Starred my favorites."[2] Alongside this, she deleted all her previous tweets, changed her X bio to "v", tweeted "ma vie, mi vida, mia vita" (translated: "my life, my life, my life" from French) and "5 love languages". The five love languages are the different ways that people receive and express love in a relationship. One of them is acts of service, which is also a track by the same name on the album.
On November 14, 2024, Doja cleared out her Instagram posts, hinting that she's gearing up to release the album. She also tweeted "Vie ❣️", subliminally referring to the album. "Vie" is translated to "life" from French.
On November 16, 2024, Doja shared another track list to her Instagram stories, with two new songs "All Mine" and "Happy", with previous songs "Wood Holly" and "Appreciation" removed.
On November 29, 2024, Doja Cat continued with the subliminal tweets, this time tweeting "Tu es ma vie", translating to "You are my life" from French. On November 30, 2024, Doja posted a minute-long clip to Twitter of herself previewing very short seconds of the intro of 9 tracks on the album.[3]
On February 9, 2025, Doja Cat tweeted "Vie coming soon!" and "Correct. Vie is the name of the album." Vie is French for "life" and is commonly used in sayings such as "ma vie", translating to "my love". This and other hints lead fans to believe this album will be centered around love songs.
On March 6, 2025, Doja Cat posted a very cropped image of one of the photos taken for the album's photoshoot, captioned "🥀".[4] On March 27, 2025, Doja officially revealed the visual theme for the album, posting two photos from the photoshoot captioned "tu es ma vie 💋" and changing her Instagram profile picture.[5] Alongside this, she changed her X profile picture and header to more images of the photoshoot, the one in the header being the uncropped photo of the Instagram post on March 6. On March 28, 2025, she deleted that Instagram post and instead posted two new images from the photoshoot, captioned “v”[6]. She also changed her profile picture to the one she has on X.
On March 29, 2025, Doja took to Instagram Live to preview some more intro snippets of each track on the album, playing the entirety of "Acts of Service" and a portion of a track not on the prior tracklist, "Lipstain".
On April 11, 2025, Doja posted 3 images of herself from what seems to be from a photoshoot or possible behind the scenes of a video, captioned "il n’est pas mon amant 🥀" (translated: "he's not my lover").[7] Director @normies_nightmare on Instagram shared a collage of this photoshoot, revealing a few new images.[8]
On April 13, 2025, Doja posts another demo tracklist of the album to X,[9] with some very noticeable differences. The photo was with the caption, "dont ask me where crack is rn", as the song wasn't seen in the tracklist. The new songs seen include "Amen", "Come Back", "Couples Therapy", "Gorgeous", "I Like You", "Jealous Type", "Kink", "One More Time", "Lipstain", and "Slide". The only songs still remaining from the previous tracklist include "Turn the Lights On", "Make It Up", "Happy", "Cards", "All Mine", and "Acts of Service". Alongside this, she tweeted some lyrics for a song, “No girl enjoys trying to tough it out for a party boy… 🎹💋”, and also tweeted, “take me dancing scrapped and used as easter eggs, slow burn scrapped, break my heart is called All Mine.”
On April 14, 2025, Doja took to Instagram Live to preview "JEALOUS TYPE". Alongside this, she posted two more photos to Instagram. One of them being a new one from the photoshoot and another being an image of her feet hanging out a car window, possibly from a video shoot.
On April 16, 2025, Taco Bell, whom Doja has collaborated with multiple times, previewed a snippet of "Cards" in a TikTok video.[10]
