On the 10^th edition of After Dark, we explore the naughty, risqué, scandalous & utterly sexual vibes behind, “Need to Know” by Doja Cat.

Theme & Lyrics

“I just been fantasizin’ (Size) / And we got a lotta time (Time) / Baby, come throw the pipe (Pipe).” Woah, woah, WOAH NELLY! “Baby come throw the pipe?” Well, we know that Doja Cat isn’t referencing a cigar! On “Need to Know”, one of the best moments from Planet Her, Doja gives us a little bit of everything, singing often, while also dropping un-pitched rhymes on the second verse. The theme and topic of choice for Doja is SEX, of course! What really sells this sexed-up joint is her big personality. Of course, SIZE matters in the bedroom as well, at least according to her:

“What’s your size? (Size
Add, subtract, divide (‘Vide).”

Furthermore, she wants her man to know “I got a lotta new tricks for you, baby / Just sayin’ I’m flexible / I do what I can to get you off.” Day-um! She doesn’t stop there, considering on the second verse she’s a damn magician: “Oh, wait, you a fan of magic? / Poof, pussy like an Alakazam.” Woo! The crème de la crème – the crowning achievement – is the memorable chorus:

“Wanna know what it’s like
Baby, show me what it’s like
I don’t really got no type
I just wanna fuck all night.”

Yep – sex, sex, SEX. You read/heard it, with your own eyes/ears folks: “I just wanna fuck all night.” Doja is known for both sexual innuendo and being unapologetic. She’s both on “Need to Know.”

Music Video

Worth noting, the music video that accompanies “Need to Know” is nothing short of awesome. This is high budget, entertaining, and titillating sugar-honey-iced-tea – no cap! Adding to the eye candy is Doja Cat’s smoking hot love interest, Cameron Saffle . Sometimes, it’s hard to believe God created such a perfect specimen . Hotties aside, the video is a captivating piece of art.

Final Thoughts

Doja Cat offers no substance whatsoever on “Need to Know.” Who cares if this pop joint isn’t transcendent – it’s a B-O-P! Doja’s sexed-up and honest about what she wants and her abilities in the bedroom. Throw in a killer video with a hunky love interest and “Need to Know” is tailor made for any AFTER DARK playlist.
