Doechii delivers a moment of reflection and release with her new single “girl, get up.” featuring SZA, out now via Top Dawg Entertainment / Capitol Records. The track serves as both a closing chapter and a necessary exhale, as Doechii confronts her journey head-on — unpacking hunger, ambition, doubt, and the nonlinear climb that brought her from obscurity to the forefront of hip-hop. Listen to “girl, get up.” featuring SZA here.
With raw, unapologetic lyricism, Doechii addresses everything from industry noise to the tired “industry plant” narrative, balancing sharp wit with deep self-awareness. “girl, get up.” plays like a fearless statement piece — part testimony, part reckoning — underscoring the idea that destiny can’t be manufactured, only answered. The visualizer, directed by James Mackel, further amplifies the song’s emotional weight. Mackel also directed Doechii’s GRAMMY®-nominated video for “Anxiety.”

Final Chapter of the Swamp Sessions
Written by Doechii alongside SZA, Jahlil Gunter, and Darius Scott, the track is produced by Jay Versace (Tyler, The Creator, SZA) and features a sample of “What Happened To That Boy” by Baby featuring Clipse. “girl, get up.” marks the final release from Doechii’s Swamp Sessions series — a creatively focused run built around hour-long writing sessions that produced standout tracks including “NISSAN ALTIMA,” “BULLFROG,” and “CATFISH.” Together, the series revealed the full range of Doechii’s artistic vision and sonic flexibility.
A Historic Run Continues
The release arrives amid a landmark period for Doechii. Her single “Anxiety” earned five GRAMMY® nominations, including Record of the Year and Song of the Year, while her album Alligator Bites Never Heal won Best Rap Album at the 2025 GRAMMY Awards. The album topped Rolling Stone’s list of the “Best Hip-Hop Albums of 2024” and appeared in the publication’s overall Top 10 albums of the year, with additional praise from NPR, Paste, Consequence of Sound, Stereogum, and UPROXX.
Live Momentum & Cultural Impact
Doechii’s fall 2025 Live from the Swamp Tour sold out entirely, breaking records for single-day sales demand across multiple Live Nation venues. Reviewing her Madison Square Garden performance, The New York Times described Doechii as “laser-focused and cartoonishly animated,” praising her dexterous wordplay and commanding stage presence. In 2025, she was also named Billboard Woman of the Year and earned top honors at the BET Awards, NAACP Image Awards, GLAAD Media Awards, American Music Awards, and MTV Video Music Awards.
