Vegas

Doja Cat's 'Vegas' is a song that exudes confidence and sass, with lyrics that speak to empowerment and self-assuredness. The song's title, 'Vegas,' might evoke the city's reputation for glitz, glamour, and the idea that what happens there stays there. However, Doja Cat flips this notion on its head, suggesting that she won't be keeping silent about the subject of the song's behavior.

The repeated line 'You ain't nothin' but a' followed by 'Hound dog' is a clear reference to Elvis Presley's famous song 'Hound Dog,' which is about a no-good, cheating lover. Doja Cat uses this iconic line to label the subject of her song as a player and a fraud, someone who is not the man they claim to be. The lyrics suggest a relationship gone sour, where the artist feels betrayed and is calling out the other person's true colors. She uses vivid imagery and metaphors, such as 'Flewed out with my boobs out' and 'put that Yeezy in your teeth,' to paint a picture of her lavish lifestyle and her dominance over the situation.

The song also touches on themes of revenge and moving on. Doja Cat mentions that the subject 'lost a bet' and now has to 'find' her, implying that they are no longer on the same level. She boasts about her desirability and success, contrasting it with the subject's peak in high school, suggesting that while she has grown and flourished, they have stagnated. The overall tone of the song is one of dismissal and empowerment, as Doja Cat asserts her worth and refuses to be brought down by someone who has wronged her.
