Doja Cat's 'Streets': Live stream, release date, concept, teasers and all you need to know about rapper's music video
Doja Cat has announced a new official music video for 'Streets', dropping this week. More than a year after its release, 'Streets' made its Hot 100 debut in January 2021 after it became the soundtrack to TikTok’s massively popular 'Silhouette Challenge'. The Silhouette Challenge videos usually begin with users dressed in casual clothes and posing in a doorway to the sound of Paul Anka’s 'Put Your Head on My Shoulder'. The track then changes to 'Streets', as users strike a sexy pose in red mood lighting, wearing tight clothing to accentuate their silhouetted figures.
As 'Streets' has always been a fan-favorite from Doja Cat's 2019 sophomore album 'Hot Pink', the rapper has recognized its popularity and teased its official visual on March 7. Here's all you need to know about Doja Cat's 'Streets' music video.

Release date
The 'Streets' music video is releasing on March 9, 2021.
Concept
'Streets' is a melancholy R&B ballad written by Doja Cat, David Sprecher, Lydia Asrat, Theron Otis Feemster, Christopher Jefferies and Demarie Sheki. The song is produced by brother production duo Blaq Tuxedo, who are also credited as co-writers. The track gained its namesake from the song which is sampled throughout the track, 'Streets Is Callin', by B2K from their soundtrack album 'You Got Served' (2003).
It was released to US pop radio in February 2021 as the seventh single from 'Hot Pink' after it became a sleeper hit the previous month. While 'Streets' has skyrocketed in popularity in just a few weeks, executive vice president of A&R for RCA Records Tunji Balogun never expected it to become a hit. According to Billboard, he said, "We all love that song, but we never really focused on it from the beginning of the project." 'Streets' is now the rapper's second top 20 hit as a lead artist.
Teaser
When it comes to the music video, Doja Cat announced its release with the caption "For all you silly window shoppers..." for a 32-second teaser video. In the clip, the rapper appears behind the window of a glamorous clothing shop and catches the eye of a nearby driver who is stuck in a traffic jam. Check out the teaser below.
