Jealous Type

"Jealous Type" kicked off the era for American artist Doja Cat's fifth studio album, Vie. This single dropped on August 21, 2025, under Kemosabe and RCA Records. It signaled a shift back toward the pop sensibilities that fans first heard on her 2019 album, Hot Pink, moving away from the more hip-hop focused sound of her 2023 release, Scarlet.

Crafted with input from producers Jack Antonoff and Y2K, alongside Doja Cat herself, the track is a vibrant blend of disco-pop, funk-pop, and pop rap. Its sound is heavily influenced by the 1980s, featuring prominent synth stabs and a driving bassline that evoke a strong retro feel. Critics noted its energy and Doja Cat's vocal performance, which spans from smooth verses to a powerful chorus and a brief rap interlude, drawing comparisons to her earlier work.

The reception for "Jealous Type" was largely positive. Publications like Billboard praised its disco-pop sound and called it a welcome return to a familiar style for the artist. ELLE highlighted the '80s influences and viewed it as a promising start for the album's rollout. The song made its mark on the charts, reaching number 28 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and also earned a nomination for Song of the Summer at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards. [edit]
