***You're A Dog!*** is the debut six-track extended play (EP) by American singer-songwriter Remi Wolf. It was publicized on September 20th, 2019 with the four prior single releases.

## Background

Prior to Remi's debut, she had begun her solo career through performing covers and minimal original music across various venues throughout California,[*citation needed*] having only one official release outside of her prior band of Remi & Chloe. This motif of exclusive performances would end in 2019, beginning with an announcement which stated "releasing new music soon," via Instagram. Following the new affirmation, Remi would reveal a release date regarding her debut single on the 18th of January, 2019, fessing its cover art. "Guy", the lead single for *You're A Dog!*, released on the 25th. With one more subtle mention of upcoming music, and a sly snippet within a tour promotional, Remi would then announce "Sauce" a week prior to its release in June, including its cover art in the post. After one more snippet of the track, "Sauce" released on July 2nd. The EP's title and release date would be confirmed the following month on August 5th, revealing an associated release party alongside the publication. The show sold out by the 19th. With one day until the next single, Remi would pronounce it once more, featuring its cover art and title. "Shawty", the first single to actually be confirmed to be featured on the project, would release on August 7th. "Rufufus" released unwarranted on the 28th, as Remi claimed she didn't want to wait longer to release new music and grew impatient. With 11 days to spare, the project's cover art was finally be revealed by Remi on the 9th of September, with a confirmation of the tracklist a day later.

Remi began developing the EP across various bedrooms in California, sometimes recording whilst intoxicated, sober, nude, clothed, crying, laughing, or especially angry. She proclaims she was only able to "pull through" due to "chile rellenos and gushers."

## Theme

* General
* Sauce
* Rufufus
* Doctor
* Guy
* Thicc
* Shawty

Throughout *You're A Dog!*, Remi writes about the tribulations of love and its effects on her mind. Most of these tribulations involve an imbalance in affection and/or effort, leaving Remi feeling overly-attached, angry, anxious, and addicted. Sometimes she fully acknowledges the problems, and other times she finds herself blind in love.
