Doechii and SZA Release "Girl, Get Up" Single

Doechii closed out 2025 with the release of her new single "Girl, Get Up," a collaboration with SZA that confronts industry critics and celebrates resilience. The track, dropped this week, features Doechii's sharp verses over a minimal beat produced by Jay Versace, blending atmospheric synths with a sample from Birdman and Clipse's 2002 classic "What Happened to That Boy."

In the song, the Tampa, Florida native directly addresses accusations of being an "industry plant," a narrative that has followed her rise to prominence. Lyrics like "All that industry plant shit whack, I see it on the blogs, I see you in the chats" and "You suck every rap n***a dick from the back, but what's the agenda when the it girl black?" target doubters who question her authenticity. Doechii also touches on misogyny in the industry, hinting at deeper explorations on her forthcoming album: "These n***as misogynistic, I'll address it on the album. For now, let's sink into the fact that hate don't make you powerful." SZA delivers the soulful hook, singing, "I be in the back, levitatin', doin' meditation, leave me, girl, get up," emphasizing themes of self-empowerment and nonconfrontation.
