"Say So" is a song by American singer and rapper Doja Cat, released as the fifth single from her second studio album, Hot Pink (2019). It was sent to American radio by Kemosabe and RCA on January 28, 2020. The song was written by Doja Cat, David Sprecher, Lydia Asrat, Dr. Luke, with the latter serving as producer under the pseudonym Tyson Trax. The song gained popularity after a dance created by TikTok user Haley Sharpe went viral on the social media platform.It charted at number one on Latvian radio, the top five in sixteen additional countries, and is certified Gold or higher in twelve countries. It reached the top of the US Billboard Hot 100 following the release of two remixes featuring rapper Nicki Minaj, who appeared as a featured artist for two weeks on the chart. It was the first collaboration between two female rappers to top the Hot 100, and earned the first number-one song for both artists.The song's commercial performance has been described as a comeback for its producer and co-writer Dr. Luke, following the 2014 Kesha v. Dr. Luke series of lawsuits, which polarized music critics. Doja Cat's solo version received three nominations at the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards, including for Song of the Year, as well as two Grammy nominations: Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance. "Say So" has been gaining plenty of Airplay across the Nova Network plus airplay across the Hit Network in the past week, plus on certain Regional Stations have been giving it some good spins. "Say So" is this Weeks Greatest Gainer moving up 48 places from #96 to #48.

Not going to lie, Doja Cat’s ‘Say So’ has pretty much been at the top of my dance playlist since it’s release last year. It’s got that perfect 70s disco inspired groove that you just can’t HELP but shimmy to. Since it’s release, many people online have mashed it up with other songs, from Ariana Grande’s ‘Breathin’ to, more notably, Nicki Minaj’s ‘Good Form’, the latter of which undeniably led to this recent team up.

This new remix delves more into the heavy, hip-hop inspired vibes of the original song, opening with a killer rap from Minaj herself, before delving back into the hippy-dippy sparkle tunes of the original ‘Say So’ chorus and Doja’s own rap verse, and returning to Minaj in the final moments. It’s something fans have been asking for for months, and I for one think both singers delivered. I like a good remix that brings a whole new take on a song, and this for sure fulfils those wishes; the new version is grittier and sassier, whilst still retaining the original vibes of ‘Say So’, especially that iconic beat.

Is it better than the original? I’d say no; it just doesn’t capture the flow well enough. However, it is pretty darn close.
