Streets" is a song by American rapper and singer 

Doja Cat from her second studio album, Hot

Pink (2019). She wrote it with David Sprecher and Lydia Asrat, alongside its producers Dominique
and Darius Logan.[c] In "Streets", an R&B ballad with elements of trap music, Doja Cat sings and raps
about her desire to return to a former romantic partner. Some critics who reviewed Hot Pink praised
the song for demonstrating her versatility as a musical artist.
"Streets" became an Internet-driven sleeper hit in early 2021. It gained commercial success after the
"Silhouette Challenge", an online challenge in which participants struck poses while illuminated from
behind with red lighting, used the song as background music and went viral on TikTok. Reacting to
its online popularity, Kemosabe and RCA Records promoted "Streets" to US contemporary hit
radio stations on February 16, 2021. With this, the song became Hot Pink's seventh and final single.
Assisted primarily by streams and digital sales, "Streets" peaked at number 16 and number 8 on the
US Billboard Hot 100 and Global 200 charts, respectively. It received platinum certifications in eight
countries.
Doja Cat performed "Streets" in three videos posted to YouTube during 2020; she also included it in
performances at the 2021 iHeartRadio Music Awards and the 2022 Coachella festival. A music
video for the song, directed by Christian Breslauer, premiered via YouTube on March 9, 2021. It
depicts Doja Cat's attempt to seduce a cab driver by performing her version of the Silhouette
Challenge, after which she proceeds to trap him in a giant web. Critics described the video as erotic,
horror-fantasy, and reminiscent of film noir.

Doja Cat released her debut studio album Amala in March 2018, four years after the viral success of
her first single, "So High".[5][6] The album received little media coverage.[5][7] Meanwhile, in August of
the same year, she self-published a music video for "Mooo!", a novelty song that incorporated
elements of Generation Z humor and meme culture.[8][9] Achieving unanticipated popularity on
several social media platforms,[10][11] it bolstered Doja Cat's rise to mainstream fame. [12][13] This
prompted her to issue and promote a deluxe edition of Amala.[8] She included "Mooo!" in its tracklist,
along with the single "Tia Tamera", featuring the rapper Rico Nasty,[13] as well as the song "Juicy".[14]
A remix of "Juicy", with a guest appearance from the rapper Tyga, served as the lead single for Doja
Cat's next album, Hot Pink (2019). Commercially successful, the single became her first to reach the
US Billboard Hot 100.[8] Furthermore, it went viral on the video-hosting application TikTok, where
several dance challenge clips used it as background music.[15] During 2019, Doja Cat released three
more singles in promotion of Hot Pink: "Bottom Bitch",[16] "Rules",[17] and "Cyber Sex".[16] By
September 2021, "Rules" and "Cyber Sex" had appeared in 64,200 and 171,400 TikTok videos,
respectively.[8]
TikTok's users contributed to the popularity of two more tracks from Hot Pink. One of these is "Say
So", which topped the Billboard Hot 100 and earned Doja Cat her first number one on the chart. [8]

 The other song, "Like That",[15] received a platinum certification from the Recording Industry
Association of America (RIAA).[18][d] Pitchfork writer Cat Zhang believed that the TikTok-driven
successes of "Say So" and "Like That" demonstrated that Doja Cat had an "unimpeachable ... reign"
over the application.[15] Aliya Chaudhry of Slate argued that TikTok users' propensity of making songs
go viral – often due to an Internet challenge – factored into solidifying Doja Cat's status as
a household name.[20]
