Doja Cat - Need To Know: (official Video)

The video opens with a juxtaposition of futuristic technology and domestic normalcy. We see Doja and her "alien girl posse"—featuring cameos by Canadian musician Grimes and actress Ryan Destiny—lounging in a 1970s-inspired space suite, gaming on a PlayStation 5 and drinking while "pregaming" for their night out. This inclusion of video games highlights Doja’s penchant for threading digital culture into her artistry, framing it as a "hot girl" pastime even on other planets.

The visual centerpiece of the video is the fictional "Planet Her," a meticulously crafted 3D-animated cityscape that blends brutalist architecture with a sleek, neon-drenched aesthetic reminiscent of Blade Runner and The Fifth Element . Eschewing traditional green screens for practical sets and intricate prosthetics, the production employed a team of 20 to transform Doja and her ensemble into vibrant alien species. Doja Cat herself appears as a blue-tinted extraterrestrial, a look frequently compared by critics to the Star Wars character Aayla Secura.
