On September 26, 2025, Doja Cat unveiled Gorgeous as the second single from her fifth studio album Vie. The track, co-written with Jack Antonoff, George Daniel, Mark Spears, Kurtis McKenzie, Lee Stashenko, and Stavros Tsarouhas, finds her fusing playful pop with retro elegance. Built on sleek production and a teasing refrain—“It’s a crime to be gorgeous”—the song celebrates allure and confidence in a way only Doja can deliver.
The release was paired with a striking video directed by Bardia Zeinali. Styled by Brett Alan Nelson and shot by cinematographer Rina Yang, the visual is staged like a high-gloss 1980s beauty advertisement. Makeup close-ups, bold lighting, and a revolving cast of icons—including Alex Consani, Imaan Hammam, Irina Shayk, Anok Yai, and Karen Elson—turn the song into a cinematic celebration of glamour. Every frame feels like a cross between a vintage cosmetics campaign and a runway show, blending satire and seduction in equal measure.
Reception was immediate. The video surpassed one million YouTube views in its first 13 hours, while the track began charting on the Official UK Singles Chart and climbing Apple Music rankings in multiple countries. For an artist already known for pushing visual and sonic boundaries, Gorgeous underscores Doja’s evolution: it is as much a fashion statement as a pop single, proof that she commands the intersection of music, image, and culture with ease.
