Doechii is taking a moment to exhale out her haters ahead of 2026, with her new single.
On Wednesday, Dec. 31, Doechii and SZA released a single together called "girl, get up.", marking the second collaboration between the female artists. The two first worked together on Doechii's 2022 single, "Persuasive."
The new track, released alongside a music video, addresses accusations from content creators and other musicians, like Kanye West, that Doechii is an "industry plant." The derogatory term is used to describe a "lab-grown, focus-grouped and reverse-engineered" artist who has been "anointed" for success by industry power players, according to GQ.
"All that industry plant shit whack," Doechii raps in the single's second verse. "Y'all can't fathom that I worked this hard. And y'all can't fathom that I earned this chart."
Over the past year, Doechii has quickly gained mainstream fame. In 2024, she released "Alligator Bites Never Heal," which won the 2025 Grammy for Best Rap Album and led to her sold-out, nationwide "Live from the Swamp Tour." She was also featured on Tyler, the Creator's popular 2024 track "Balloon."
