Taja cat New single “Jealous Type” has written about the record books. Released on August 21, 2025, stormed the track Spotify with 3.17 million first day flows and debuted on No. 14 on the platform’s global top 50 and No. 8 in the US-the biggest solo opening for a female rapper in Streamer’s history.
That milestone puts “jealous type” in front of former record holder Nicki Minajs “Super Freaky Girl” and solidifies Doja Cat as one of the most dominant crossover documents in today’s pop-rap landscape. For the Grammy-winning artist, it also marks her strongest streaming debut yet and exceeds viral hits such as “say so” and “paint the city rode.”
The record-breaking debut arrives at an intensely competitive year for women-driven hip-hop and pop crossovers, but Doja Cat’s success stands out as more than just another chart-top single. Her figures highlight both her expanding global reach and the precision of her release strategy.
Critics note her rare ability to melt genres while creating hooks that reason over radio, streaming and tiktok-to ensure her songs endure far beyond their first week buzz. As a leading single for her upcoming fifth album CompeteBecause of September 26, “Jealous Type” is already surpassing its former solo debut and places the album as a potential career-defining commercial top.
In addition to the record -breaking figures, “Jealous Type” marks a clear change in Doja’s signature sound. Built on glossy 80s synth-pop foundations, weaves the track retro structures with elegant R&B bends to create a shimmering, Danish atmosphere. Lyrically, it pops into themes of jealousy and obsession and balances her sharp width with flashes of vulnerability.
While echoes of Hot pink Disco-pop influence remains, the delivery here feels more refined shakes, bolders and deliberately designed. Early listeners have already made comparisons with Madonna’s vintage Glamor melted with Doja’s modern style, a mixture that highlights her talent to reshape nostalgia into something strikingly fresh.
Doja has described Compete—French for “life” – as her most “romantic and raw” project so far. She has made it clear that it does not mean a collection of ballads, but rather a deeper exploration of intimacy, duality and emotional turbulence. The album will arrive in the middle of its ongoing “Ma Vie” world tour and adds another layer of expectation of fans that are eager to see how the new material translates live.
The rolling of “envious type” also emphasizes her broader cultural presence. The track first appeared earlier this year in a Marc Jacobs campaign and was previewed on Live and founded the audience before its official release. Meanwhile, Doja maintained visibility through high-profile collaboration-job Raye and Lisa at “Born Again”, who collaborated with Jack Harlow for “Just US” and contributes with “Losing Me” with Don Toliver to the F1 soundtrack. Still, “jealousy type” stands as her first solo edition 2025 – and given its historical debut, her most crucial yet.
Compete Arrive September 26 via Kemosabe/RCA. If “Jealousy type” Is any indication, the album can mark not just another reinvention for Doja Cat, but the defining chapter of her career.
