Doja Cat’s engineer recalls the moment he realized she was the “ballsiest person in the industry”:
“[Pharrell] was kind enough to give us a verse on ‘Woman’. This was in the early days of Doja’s career when it was difficult to get features back from people. The Pharrell thing felt like such a huge win. She walked into the studio one day and said, ‘Can we mute his verse? I want to see if I can do something in that space.’…Then she laid down her second verse, which is arguably the lyrical soul of [‘Planet Her’].”
