"Boss Bitch" is a song by American rapper and singer
Composition
"Boss Bitch" is an "uptempo record" combined with a "poppy feel mixing layers of synths and cowbells".[3] The lyrical content was described as a "fiery clapback at her haters".[4] Doja Cat credited Ashnikko with writing the first verse and herself with writing the second.[5]
Critical reception
"Boss Bitch" was met with positive reviews from music critics. Patrick Johnson at Hypebeast described Doja's rendition as "a club-leaning single that features dubbing synths, unexpected cowbells and an undeniable chorus" and commented on her performance as "exuding the confidence and anti-good girl swagger of the film's protagonist
In June 2020, the song was listed as the 27th best song of 2020 so far by Billboard.[9] NME named it the 12th best song of 2020 in December.[10]
