Doja Cat has once again proven her ability to keep fans on their toes with an unexpected yet much-anticipated release. On Friday, May 2, the Los Angeles native took to Twitter to announce the limited-time availability of “Crack,” a fan-favorite track that has become the Holy Grail of her vault. The snippet first surfaced during the 2023 Scarlet era, and since then, it has lingered in the hearts of her fanbase, who have eagerly awaited its full release.
In her tweet, Doja shared the exciting news: “it’s not the lead i’m just giving it to the people who asked for it.” The track, which fans have been clamoring for, is only available for 24 hours, accessible through Doja’s official website by entering an email address and phone number. Once submitted, fans can either stream or download the song. With the clock ticking on this exclusive opportunity, it’s clear that “Crack” is one of those elusive gems that Doja’s loyal followers couldn’t resist seizing.
The hype around “Crack” had already reached fever pitch before the surprise drop, largely thanks to its enigmatic presence on social media and its connection to Doja’s upcoming album, Vie. While specifics about the project remain scarce, Doja has teased it extensively, though it seems we may still be some time away from its official release. Fans are buzzing with speculation, but for now, the excitement is all about this sudden gift from the artist herself.
While “Crack” may not be the lead single from Vie, its release serves as a love letter to the fans who have eagerly followed Doja’s every move. The track’s popularity is a testament to Doja’s unique ability to capture her audience’s attention with her eclectic style and bold creativity, even when teasing new music.
Doja Cat has made it clear in recent months that she is unbothered by the pressure to meet commercial expectations. Just days before the Crack release, she tweeted her thoughts on the obsession with chart positions and streaming numbers. “The amount of streams on a song isn’t indicative of the quality or effort put into it,” she wrote. “If you disagree with this you could be having an episode and should seek love from the outside.” This tweet encapsulated her philosophy on success and artistic integrity, one that transcends the metrics of fame and fortune.
As we eagerly await more details on Vie, Doja’s willingness to share “Crack”—even for such a limited time—gives fans a taste of what’s to come. For now, the focus is on this unexpected surprise that reinforces why Doja remains one of the most intriguing and unpredictable stars in modern pop and rap.
If you haven’t grabbed your copy of “Crack” yet, don’t wait too long—the 24-hour window is rapidly closing, and who knows when (or if) we’ll see another surprise like this again.
