## Music Video

"**Say So (Remix)**" is a song by Doja Cat featuring Nicki Minaj. It was released on May 1, 2020. The song is a remix of the original, "Say So".

## Background

Having expressed her admiration for Minaj, Doja Cat has said that the pairing for the remix came naturally. Following rumors of the collaboration, the original version of the track leaked online.

Produced by Dr. Luke, the instrumental is nearly identical to the original with additional 808s and a mix in the note progression for Minaj's part. Althea Legaspi of *Rolling Stone* described the "retro-grooving pop song" as "sassy". The song references Naomi Campbell, Cassie, and Lauryn Hill. On May 8, 2020, a version containing the original composition in Minaj's verse was released.

## Commercial performance

Following the release of the remix featuring Minaj, "Say So" reached number one on the US *Billboard* Hot 100. Minaj was officially credited as a featured artist on the song as her remix contributed to a majority of the chart points that surged the song to the top. The song's peak at the top marked the first number-one song on the Hot 100 chart for both Doja Cat and Minaj. Following the remix, the song vaulted from number sixteen to number one on the Digital Songs sales chart with a 966% increase in sales to 66,000 downloads sold. On the Streaming Songs chart, the song rose from number ten to number four with an 87% increase. Around 90% of the song's radio airplay was for the original solo version, therefore Minaj is not credited as an artist on any airplay charts. Additionally, the song rose to number one on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and on the Hot R&B Songs charts, giving Doja Cat her first number one on each chart and giving Minaj her fifth and first, respectively.

As noted by *Billboard*, the song became the first collaboration between two female rappers to top the Hot 100. It also marked the first female collaboration since "Fancy" by Iggy Azalea featuring Charli XCX in 2014 to peak atop the chart and is only the sixth song by solo women teaming up to have topped the Hot 100. Minaj also broke the record for having the longest wait to reach number one on the Hot 100, as the remix became her 109th entry on the chart.

## Music Video

While no official music video was released for the remix, a dance visual featuring three performers was posted to Minaj's official YouTube channel on May 2. Prior to the dance visual's release, Doja Cat released the lyric video for the song onto her official YouTube channel.

**[Intro: Nicki Minaj]**

Yeah, you know it

Mmm, this the remix

Doja, rrr

**[Chorus: Doja Cat & Nicki Minaj]**

Day to night to morning, keep with me in the moment

I'd let you had I known it, why don't you say so?

Didn't even notice, no punches left to roll with

You got to keep me focused; you want it? Say so (Uh)

**[Verse 1: Nicki Minaj]**

Every time I take a break, the game be so boring

Pretty like Naomi, Cassie, plus Lauren

Spittin' like Weezy, Foxy, plus Lauryn

Ball like the Rams, see, now that's Gordon

They don't understand the bag talk, I'm foreign

When they think they top the queen, they start fallin'

Word to my ass-shots, I'm so cheeky

Got 'em tryna palm my ass like young Keke

Yes, I'm ghetto, word to Geppetto

Plus I'm little, where's my stiletto?

Tell Mike Jordan send me my Retros

Used to be bi, but now I'm just hetero

Ain't talkin' medicine, but I made him more a fiend

Ever since I put the cookie on quarantine

He know this thing A1 like a felony

All he gotta do is say the word like a spelling bee

**[Chorus: Doja Cat]**

Day to night to morning, keep with me in the moment

I'd let you had I known it, why don't you say so?

Didn't even notice, no punches left to roll with

You got to keep me focused; you want it? Say so (Yeah)

**[Verse 2: Doja Cat]**

Let me check my chest, my breath right quick (Ha)

He ain't ever seen it in a dress like this (Ah)

He ain't ever even been impressed like this

Prolly why I got him quiet on the set like zip

Like it, love it, need it, bad

Take it, own it, steal it, fast

Boy, stop playing, grab my ass

Why you actin' like you shy? (Hot)

Shut it, save it, keep it pushin'

Why you beating 'round the bush?

Knowin' you want all this woman

Never knock it 'til you try (Yah, yah)

All of them bitches hating I have you with me

All of my n\*\*gas sayin' you mad committed

Realer than anybody you had, and pretty

All of the body-ody, the ass and titties

**[Chorus: Doja Cat]**

Day to night to morning, keep with me in the moment

I'd let you had I known it, why don't you say so?

Didn't even notice, no punches left to roll with

You got to keep me focused; you want it? Say so

Day to night to morning, keep with me in the moment

I'd let you had I known it, why don't you say so?

Didn't even notice, no punches left to roll with

You got to keep me focused; you want it? Say so

**[Post-Chorus: Nicki Minaj]**

Yeah, you know it

Yeah, you know it

Yeah, you know it

Yeah, you know it

**[Outro: Nicki Minaj]**

You coulda said so

Boy, you shoulda said so

Say so, say so

I got dressed just to sit in the house

People with the least always doin' the most

I'm countin' money while he suckin' my toes

Real nasty with them balls, all net, yeah, I'm gross

Why you talkin' 'bout who body fake?

With all them fillers in your face, you just full of hate

That real ass ain't keep your n\*\*ga home

Now you lookin' silly, that's word to silicone

**[Intro: Nicki Minaj]**

Yeah, you know it

Mmm, this the remix

Doja, rrr

**[Chorus: Doja Cat]**

Day to night to morning, keep with me in the moment

I'd let you had I known it, why don't you say so?

Didn't even notice, no punches left to roll with

You got to keep me focused; you want it? Say so

**[Verse 1: Nicki Minaj]**

Call 'em Nestlé, they crunchy, man

Ride 'em like a cowgirl, I'm a country fan

Ain't talkin' medicine, but I made him more a fiend

Ever since I put the cookie on quarantine

Uh, like a relay race

When I run up in this spot, bitches know they place

Slide on a n\*gga, I'ma need my skates

Social distance, I'ma need my space (Uh)

I done did it, I won with it

I made peace with myself, at one with it

I can't let a goofy n\*gga come dump in it

I told boy shoot his shot, bust guns in it (Brrr)

I mean I know that you feelin' me, I can tell that you feelin' me

Acting like you was deadin' me, boy, you really be killin' me

How you diggin' me, iggin' me, boy, you gotta be shittin' me

Is you like a comedian? You gotta be kiddin' me (Oop)

**[Chorus: Doja Cat]**

Day to night to morning, keep with me in the moment

I'd let you had I known it, why don't you say so?

Didn't even notice, no punches left to roll with

You got to keep me focused; you want it? Say so (Yeah)

**[Verse 2: Doja Cat]**
