She weighed in further on the debate during a cover story with '' Rolling Stone'' in December, saying, "Anyone who says that I'm not a rapper is in denial. They don't know what they're talking about." A few days after the profile piece was published, Doja Cat revealed on an

I use my voice as a tool to create these worlds, and it's fine if people think that I can't rap." She also confirmed that her upcoming fourth studio album will be "predominantly rap". She doubled down on the album's main genre in April 2023 by stating "no more pop", and that she agrees with "everyone who said the majority of my rap verses are mid and corny. I know they are. I wasn't trying to prove anything, I just enjoy making music. But I'm getting tired of hearing y'all say that I can't, so I will." Doja Cat also denounced her previous two albums as "cash grabs" and "digestible pop hits". On April 26, radio personality Ebro Darden shared that he had the opportunity to listen to approximately eight songs from the album while it was in its "early stages", stating "I heard straight rap records". After being asked about potential producers, he responded "I don't even think it's producers that we know. I think she's got her own batch of producers." In April 2023, while drafting the tracklist, she revealed the titles of several tracks that would later make the final cut. On August 27, she revealed that the album was finished, and she announced the release of the album three days later. On February 16, 2024, she announced the upcoming deluxe edition of ''Scarlet'' to be titled ''Scarlet 2: Claude Frollo''.


Conception


Imagery

Leading up to the album's release, Doja Cat adopted a darker aesthetic and image, claiming that she had "a lot of pent-up feelings and anger" which she wanted to express through beauty, further describing her new style as " punk", "experimental" and "manic". She initially shaved her hair and eyebrows, and then got a number of tattoos, including a creature from Fortunio Liceti's ''De monstris'' (1655) on her arm, a scythe surrounding her ear, and the skeleton of a bat on her back, which she claimed to symbolize a "new beginning". At times she also wore red contact lenses and blood-like makeup. She expressed similar imagery in the music video for singles "

She was unbothered by these reactions, tweeting in February 2023 that she enjoyed "playing with people’s ignorance and stupidity for erown happiness and personal gain", and then in April 2023 addressed her fans in saying "Your fear is not my problem". Jason King of All Things Considered wrote that on ''Scarlet'', Doja Cat "delights in playing the 'demon' her haters and fans accuse her of being."


Title

Doja Cat shared a name for the album, ''Hellmouth'', in March 2023. By April, she was unsure of whether or not the name would stick, and later clarified to ''Interview'' magazine that she did not have an album name yet, with the working title subject to potential change. While speaking to '' Time'' for their annual list of influential people, she shared that she "might just mess with everybody and completely turn the tables on them. But I like the idea of ''Hellmouth'' because it sounds good. And it's provocative." On May 9, she revealed another title, ''First of All'', through social media, before retracting on May 15. In an interview with '' Business Insider'' on May 26, Doja Cat revealed that the reason she kept changing the title is due to a combination of indecisiveness and

Artwork

On August 29, 2023, Doja Cat initially shared an album cover to Instagram which featured a painting of a big pinkish arachnid and a small drop of blood; containing no text. Fans then noticed that it looked almost identical to the cover for ''Of Gloom'', the third studio album by German

She revealed an "updated" cover the day after, which was also designed by Ray, featuring two pearlescent arachnids instead of the single pink arachnid. The original cover is the album's alternate art for its CD packaging. Notably, ''Scarlet'' is also the first Doja Cat album where she does not appear on the cover.


Composition

During a cover story with '' Variety'' in February 2023, Doja Cat expressed that ''Scarlet'' will diverge from the "pink and soft things" and "pop and glittery sounds" that she has been noted for; opting instead for a more "masculine" sonic direction. She claimed to have purposefully misled journalists and fans into thinking that her album would be inspired by

and R&B, rather than rap. However, it was later confirmed that the upcoming album will blend various hip hop and R&B genres, although Doja Cat stated that this album would exclusively contain rap songs. She admitted that she had become tired of creating pop songs, adding that the genre is not exciting to her anymore. In an interview with ''Rolling Stone'' in June 2023, Doja expanded on the influences and inspiration for her upcoming album, saying that she had been reconnecting with the music that she was raised listening to, such as Erykah Badu, John Coltrane and 90s hip hop. Doja Cat explained that "Attention", "Paint the Town Red", and "Demons" were all written during a period before she recorded the rest of ''Scarlet'' in Malibu, California within the space of ten days, noting that the songs recorded during the second period are very different in nature.
