About This Track

'97' finds Doja Cat in a state of deliberate provocation. She pulls up in a vintage Mercedes, dressed in fire-truck red, moving through Los Angeles with the studied indifference of someone who has decided not to care what anyone thinks. The track is built on that posture: a refrain of casual dismissal, repeated until it becomes its own kind of swagger. Beneath the bravado sits a sharper claim. She insists on her innocence even as she performs guilt, aware that the performance itself is what people want to see. The song moves between boasts and deflations, between the material (the car, the clothes, the walk-in closet) and the immaterial (the rumours, the tweets, the fight). Doja raps with precision across shifting rhythms, her flows tightening and loosening to match the subject matter. She addresses those who doubted her, those who wanted her to fail, those who are now trying to reclaim proximity. The track celebrates a carefree and rebellious attitude, but it is never quite as carefree as it pretends to be. There is calculation underneath, a performer aware of her own performance.

"97" is a track by Doja Cat, from the album Scarlet, released 21st September 2023. The track is 2:58 long. It's filed under Rap. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 12 articles about Doja Cat.

Lyrics

97

Pull up in the '97 Benz (baby, get up in it)
Sexy with that fire truck red (with the windows tinted)
Smokin' while I cruise through the valley (you so ignorant)
Looks like we don't give a shit (looks like we don't give a shit)

Looks like we don't give a shit (looks like we don't give a shit)
Looks like we don't give a shit (looks like we don't give a shit)
Looks like we don't give a shit (looks like we don't give a shit)
Looks like we don't give a shit (looks like we don't give a-)

Yeah, I ain't got no skeletons in my luxury walk-in
They ain't know I'm innocent, baby, look who is talkin'
They ain't even ready spaghetti, baby, they sauceless
Speedin' through the city, we medicated the horses

You could hit up P.E.T.A., the paint on me make me gorgeous
I'ma take the geese and chinchilla coat on a walk and
Don't forget the cheetah print, speed up, come here, record it
If that shit ain't bleedin' and screamin' I do not want it
Take it back

Pull up in the '97 Benz (baby, get up in it)
Sexy with that fire truck red (with the windows tinted)
Smokin' while I cruise through the valley (you so ignorant)
Looks like we don't give a (looks like we don't give a shit)

Said looks like we don't give a shit (looks like we don't give a shit)
Looks like we don't give a shit (looks like we don't give a shit)
Looks like we don't give a shit (looks like we don't give a shit)
Looks like we don't give a shit (looks like we don't give a-)

Yeah, said if these are clothes, motherfucker, what are those?
You look like a butter face, butter body, butter toes
I put Can't Believe It on my early morning butter toast
Y'all cannot believe I'm not a fiend and that it wasn't coke
You look so uncomfortable
You could have a seat and several hundred mo'

Hop up off my D just like a bunny go
Hop up out the scene, and now they want it mo', I don't know
I like when they plead and beggin', "Please, now where the fuck is Doj'?"
Pull up and they smiley instead (actin' stupid)
Like they wasn't tryin' to fight me in threads ('bout some music)
In a tweet that I'ma probably still stand by (I'm ruthless)
Keep ya money, funky bitch, 'cause I don't play about the (the rumors)

They gon' buy it, they gon' pirate, they gon' play it, they consume it
If you're scootin', let me know 'cause that's a comment, that's a view
And that's a ratin', that's some hatin', that's engagement, I could use and
I can teach y'all how to do this, but I'd much rather be cruisin'

Watch me pull up in the '97 Benz (baby, get up in it)
Sexy with that fire truck red (with the windows tinted)
Smokin' while I cruise through the valley (you so ignorant)
Looks like we don't give a shit (looks like we don't give a shit)

Looks like we don't give a shit (looks like we don't give a shit)
Looks like we don't give a shit (looks like we don't give a shit)
Yeah, looks like we don't give a shit, huh, (looks like we don't give a shit)
Looks like we don't give a shit (looks like we don't give a-)
Looks like we don't

'Cause we don't, motherfucker
That's 'cause we don't, little bitch
That's 'cause we don't
