Confronting the Shadows of Success: Doja Cat's 'Demons'

Doja Cat's song 'Demons' is a brash and confident exploration of the changes that come with success and how it affects one's inner battles and external perceptions. The lyrics suggest a transformation in the artist's life, where the 'demons'—which could symbolize personal struggles or insecurities—are now juxtaposed against her newfound wealth and status. The repeated question 'How my demons look?' implies that these internal battles take on a different appearance or perhaps lose their power when faced with the trappings of success.

The song also touches on themes of envy and competition, particularly in the music industry. Doja Cat asserts her dominance and addresses her detractors directly, questioning their relevance and criticizing their behavior, such as substance abuse. The mention of 'Percocet' and 'playing with your nose' indicates a disdain for those who succumb to drug use, possibly as a way to cope with their own demons or failures. Her lyrics convey a sense of triumph over both her personal demons and her competitors, emphasizing her rise to the top and the respect she commands.

The braggadocious tone of the song is further amplified by references to her sexual prowess and financial success. Phrases like 'I'm the fastest-growing bitch on all your apps now' and 'I done took the spotlight and made 'em black out' showcase her confidence in her abilities and her impact on the industry. Doja Cat's 'Demons' is a declaration of victory over her past struggles and a bold statement to anyone who doubts her position in the music world.
