Planet Her is the third studio album by American singer and rapper Doja Cat. It was released on June 25, 2021, by Kemosabe and RCA Records. The album, titled after a fictional planet created by Doja Cat, sees the artist experimenting with sounds that were new and unfamiliar to her, in an attempt to depart from the mainstream trends expected of pop artists. To further explain the name, she likened her musical style's shift in the record to travelling outside of Earth and into outer space.
A record that explores and incorporates a wide variety of genres, Planet Her is an amalgamation of pop, R&B and hip hop styles. Lyrically, the album touches on several topics and themes, focusing on femininity, solitude, romance and sexual relationships.
The album has spawned five singles: "Kiss Me More (feat. SZA)", "You Right" with The Weeknd, "Need to Know", "Woman" and "Get Into It (Yuh)". The first four songs all charted within the top 15 of both the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart. Planet Her reached number one in New Zealand and spent four non consecutive weeks at number two on the Billboard 200 chart in the United States. Landing inside the top ten in a dozen other countries, it finished 2021 as the tenth best-selling album worldwide. It also broke the record for the biggest opening day for an album by a female rapper on Spotify.
Upon release, Planet Her was met with generally positive reviews from music critics, most of whom praised Doja Cat's musical versatility and her vocal deliveries. The album was nominated for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards, while "Need to Know" was nominated for Best Melodic Rap Performance. The single "Kiss Me More" received nominations for Record of the Year, and Song of the Year, and won the award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
