Doja Cat Drops ‘Crack’ After Fans Demand It

Doja Cat fans have good reason to rejoice. The musician has announced that her new song, “Crack,” will be available on May 5, 2025. The song has long been in high demand from her loyal fan base and is instead coming out as a standalone single instead of part of her new album, as requested by the fans.

Due to her energetic music and viral status, Doja Cat, one of the most popular artists, has been very active on social media, especially on X (formerly Twitter). On May 3, 2025, she announced that “Crack” was coming through several posts. She wrote in one of these posts,

“it’s not the lead i’m just giving it to the people who asked for it,”

And in a reply to a fan, she further clarified,

“No relation to the album whatsoever.”

This announcement comes after there was confusion previously. A report by Billboard on November 13, 2024, stated that Doja Cat had shared and deleted a list of tracks from her forthcoming fifth studio album, of which “Crack” was part, along with others.

However, the recent social media updates have dispelled the confusion, noting that the song is a standalone endeavor. A Genius page has stated that “Crack” will be released on May 5, 2025, two days from the day of her declaration, by today’s schedule as of May 3, 2025.

Doja Cat has a history of connecting with her audience and releasing music outside traditional album cycles. Her discography includes singles like “Juicy” and “Say So,” which gained massive popularity through platforms like TikTok, deluxe editions, and standalone tracks.

The “Crack” drop also aligns with that pattern, demonstrating her versatility and fan-first strategy. To further fuel anticipation, Doja Cat tweeted “crack the code” on X on May 1, 2025, one that fans have deciphered as the teaser to the impending launch.

As she continues to work on her fifth studio album—hinted at in a Billboard article from October 26, 2024, when she posted “Album” on X—fans can look forward to “Crack” as a special treat.

The song’s release on May 5, 2025, marks another connection between Doja Cat and her supporters, reinforcing her reputation as an artist who listens to and values her fan base. This long-awaited official release marks another significant moment in Doja Cat’s dynamic and versatile career.
