Doja Cat - Paint The Town Red | Song Analysis
In recent weeks, Doja Cat often used the color of dripping red blood in her visual aesthetics, and now, fans understand why, as she has announced her single "Paint The Town Red."
"To paint the town red" is an English idiom meaning to go out and celebrate exuberantly, often involving heavy eating, entertainment, and fun. This form of expression is typically very lively, joyous, and exaggerated, as if literally painting the entire town red.
Example sentence: "After our team won the championship, we decided to go out and paint the town red." This illustrates a celebration of victory with no holds barred.
In the lyrics, "I don’t care, I paint the town red," Doja Cat expresses confidence in who she is, unconcerned with the words of haters, standing triumphantly atop a monster's head, singing proudly, and enjoying her own fun, disregarding everyone else.
In the video, she is dressed all in red, even her contact lenses, posing with the Grim Reaper. She sings, "My happiness is everyone's pain," seemingly addressing and counteracting the criticism she has received.
This forms the song's concept: Your hate can't affect me; I am who I am, and I'm proud of it; despite haters, I continue to live life the way I want, and I can 'kill off' anything I dislike, including any image of myself I wish to change.
After shaving her head and changing her appearance, Doja Cat became the target of many attacks online. She needs to overcome all the negative comments she has received in recent months. Being likened to the devil is one of them, as the lyric "Mm, she the devil" indicates, and she also embodies a bald devil in the music video.

[Verse 2: Doja Cat]
Said pop make money, now you try, bitch
-
You could use a revamp with a new vibe, sis
-
I don’t need a big feature or a new sidekick
-
I don’t need a new fan ’cause my boo like it
-
I don’t need to wear a wig to make you like it
-
I’m a two-time bitch, you ain’t knew I’d win?
-
Throw a shot like you tryna have a food fight then
-
All my opps waitin’ for me to be you, I bet
-
Said I got drive, I don’t need a car
-
Money really all that we fiendin’ for
-
I’m doin’ things they ain’t seen before
-
Fans ain’t dumb, but extremists are
-
I’m a demon, Lord
-
Fall off what? I ain’t seen the horse
-
Called your bluff, better cite the source
-
Fame ain’t somethin’ that I need no more
-
[Chorus: Doja Cat]
‘Cause, bitch, I said what I said
-
I’d rather be famous instead
-
I let all that get to my head
-
I don’t care, I paint the town red
-
Bitch, I said what I said
-
I’d rather be famous instead
-
I let all that get to my head
-
I don’t care, I paint the town red

She put her foot to the pedal
