Doja Cat and The Weeknd Take Us to Another Universe in Their "You Right" Music Video
In her latest music video, "You Right," Doja Cat warmly welcomes us into her sublime, imaginary universe with a little extra help from The Weeknd.
In a kingdom in the clouds, Doja and The Weeknd sing a steamy duet about their fantasies for one another, feeling mutually tempted out of their loyalties toward their respective partners. "You right, I got my guy," Dojas sings, "But I, I can't help it, I want you." Reciprocating the tease, The Weeknd sings back in his classic falsetto, "Girl, I want you like you want me too."
The video was released today in tandem with her latest album, Planet Her. Following Doja's Hot Pink in 2019, the new LP is what one would quite literally call the embodiment of a pandemic glow-up. Per Billboard, Doja shared that, while the "unbelievable" Planet Her would largely resemble its predecessor in the distinct qualities of its songs, it would also see greater cohesion with the album's overall aesthetic. As made apparent in this music video, this visuals are largely ethereal, incorporating a slew of highly exposed lights and soft pastel hues, all of which contribute to the singer's otherworldly, goddess-like essence.
"I wanted to kind of go outside of what I understood, like what I knew as pop aesthetic. or rap aesthetic or whatever,” Doja additionally shared with MTV News of her intentions for her latest album. “I wanted to quite literally travel outside of the planet.”
On contributing to the song, the Weeknd shared with Billboard, "Doja is a star, and has created a unique universe you just want to lose yourself in." He added, "She's got such drive and vast creative vision that we will be seeing her impact for a very long time to come."

I got a man but, I want you
I got a man but, I want you
And it's just nerves, it's just dick
Making me think 'bout someone new
You know I got so much to say
I try to hide it in my face
And it don't work, you see through
That I just want to get with you
And you're right
You right, I got my guy
But I, I can't help it, I want you
Said, you right, I got my guy
But I, I can't help it, I want you
I can't stop and look the other way
'Cause I know it could be, babe, and you never feel the same
You'd be thinkin' 'bout it every day
Don't believe in fairytales, but we got our fantasies
And it's me and you, no she
Tryna be all through your sheets
Have you all on top of me
Actin' like it's not that deep
Boy, you can take it off of me
Tell me what it's 'bout to be
Really feel it's bound to bе
I can't tell no one, but they all know
I got a man but, I want you
I got a man but, I want you
And it's just nеrves, it's just dick
Making me think 'bout someone new
You know I got so much to say
I try to hide it in my face
And it don't work, you see through
That I just want to get with you
And you're right
You right, I got my guy
But I, I can't help it, I want you
Said, you right, I got my guy
But I, I can't help it, I want you
Girl, I want you like you want me too
I feel that energy (Oh, yeah) when you're on top of me (Oh, yeah)
I know your man, he ain't controllin' you
But you still hesitate (Oh) 'cause you choose loyalty (Oh, yeah)
And I know your history (Hey), met him before your peak (Hey)
He's so connected to that woman that you used to be
But-but-but the sex what clogged your memory
A couple strokes, I'll put it in, then you'll belong to me
I got a man but, I want you
I got a man but, I want you (Yeah)
And it's just nerves, it's just dick
Making me think 'bout someone new
You know I got so much to say
I try to hide it in my face
And it don't work, you see through
That I just want to get with you (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And you're right (Right)
You right, I got my guy (I got my—)
But I, I can't help it, I want you
Said, you right (Yeah), I got my guy (Yeah)
But I (Yeah), I can't help it, I want you
