Agora Hills

Released on September 22, 2023, as part of the fourth studio album Scarlet, Agora Hills stands out as a slow-burning track that blends alternative R&B with hip-hop textures. Produced by Rogét Chahayed and Omer Fedi, the song avoids the high-energy pop sound of her previous hits in favor of a moody atmosphere built on trap beats and atmospheric synths. Doja Cat explores the tension between public fame and private intimacy, singing about wanting to display her partner while simultaneously keeping their relationship hidden from prying eyes.

The title references the actual city of Agoura Hills in Los Angeles County, serving as a metaphor for a sanctuary away from the spotlight rather than a specific location visited during recording. Critics noted the track's mature lyrical content and distinct vocal layering, which helped it gain traction organically despite not being released as an initial lead single. The accompanying music video directed by Hannah Lux Davis visualizes these themes through surreal imagery of Doja walking through a desolate landscape alongside supernatural figures, evoking a 1990s aesthetic.
