DOECHII DROPS POWERFUL, “girl, get up.” With SZA

GRAMMY® WINNER DOECHII DROPS POWERFUL, “girl, get up.”With SZA

Following Her 2025 Win For Best Rap Album In 2025, Doechii Is Up For Five GRAMMY® Awards In 2026, Including Record Of The Year And Song Of The Year

Doechii closes this iconic chapter and prepares to work on her album but first takes a necessary exhale on “girl, get up.” With SZA. With raw, unapologetic lyricism, she gets it all off her chest, unpacking everything from her life, her career and her nonlinear climb from hunger to the heights. She confronts the noise head-on, addressing doubters, believers and the tired “industry plant” narrative with sharp honesty, wit  and self-awareness. The result is a fearless statement piece – part testimony, part reckoning – that underscores how you can’t manufacture destiny, only answer its call. Listen to “girl, get up.” With SZA – released today via Top Dawg Entertainment / Capitol Records – HERE. View the visualizer HERE. It was directed by James Mackel, who also helmed Doechii’s GRAMMY®-nominated video for “Anxiety.”

Doechii wrote the new track with SZA, Jahlil Gunter and Darius Scott. Produced by Jay Versace (Tyler, the Creator, SZA), the song also features a sample of “What Happened To That Boy” by Baby ft. Clipse, which was written by Charles Hugo, Gene Thornton, Terrence Thornton, Bryan Williams and Pharrell Williams. “girl, get up.” is the final song from Doechii’s “Swamp Sessions” series, which paired eye-catching visuals with equally compelling bars and included such tracks as “NISSAN ALTIMA,” “BULLFROG” and “CATFISH.” The concept behind the sessions was to set a timer for an hour and write a song. Each conveyed a single sonic idea and, taken together, revealed a kaleidoscopic artist.

Doechii’s tour de force single “Anxiety” received GRAMMY® nominations in five categories: Record of the Year; Song of the Year; Best Rap Performance; Best Rap Song and Best Music Video. In February 2025, she won her first GRAMMY Award for Best Rap Album for Alligator Bites Never Heal. The album ranked at No. 1 on Rolling Stone’s list of “The 20 Best Hip-Hop Albums of 2024” and placed in the top 10 of their overall “Best Albums of 2024” tally. Critics at NPR, Paste, Consequence of Sound, Stereogum andUPROXX also hailed Alligator Bites Never Heal as one of 2024’s best albums. Listen HERE.

 

Her fall 2025 “Live from the Swamp Tour” of North America was completely sold out, shattering records for largest single day sales demand in history for Live Nation shows at numerous venues. In a review of her show at the Theater at Madison Square Garden, The New York Times said, “Throughout a relentlessly energetic hour-and-a-half set, Doechii rapped and vamped exuberantly…at once laser-focused and cartoonishly animated, driven by dexterous wordplay and sudden pivots into entirely different flows, intonations and characters…[She] has the charisma, imagination and drive to become a superstar…”

 

Doechii was named Woman of the Year at the 2025 Billboard Women in Music event, Best Female Hip Hop Artist at the BET Awards, Outstanding New Artist at the NAACP Image Awards and Outstanding Music Artist at the GLAAD Media Awards. “Anxiety”won Social Song of the Year at the 2025 American Music Awards and took Best Hip Hop and Best Choreography honors at the MTV Video Music Awards.
