Doja Cat recently sat down with CBS News Sunday Morning to discuss her forthcoming album, Vie. The project is a follow-up to her 2023 project, Scarlet, and is set to release on Friday, Sept.26. Despite multiple Grammy awards and hit singles, Doja Cat reveals there were many moments when she doubted herself. However, that is no longer the case. “I’m very proud of the music I’m making now,” Doja Cat tells CBS host Michelle Miller. “I’m very excited because it’s things I wasn’t able to do before.”

The “Say So” rapper noted that she hadn’t been able to “hit certain riffs or runs” in the past. However, with some time and hard work, she’s seen a significant change. She added, “I used to joke about that….I used to pretend to [sing]. And then I just sucked it up and stopped joking so much and took myself more seriously.” In July, Doja Cat announced that her forthcoming fifth studio album, Vie. The singer-rapper hopped on Instagram to share the exciting announcement with fans, writing, “Je sais que tu es ma vie  Vie out 9/26.” The French phrase translates to “I know you are my life.”
