"Need to Know" landed in June 2021 as the lone promotional single from Planet Her, Doja Cat's third studio album, released through Kemosabe and RCA, and by the end of August it was working rhythmic radio as the album's third single. She wrote it with producer Dr. Luke, and Serban Ghenea mixed it.
It's melodic trap with a dirty mind: raunchy lyrics over a hazy, atmospheric backdrop, and critics loved how many ways she bends her voice across it. The video drops her into the futuristic world of the fictional Planet Her, with cameos from Grimes and Ryan Destiny. It went top 10 in eight countries, the US and Australia among them, went quadruple platinum in both, and earned a nomination for Best Melodic Rap Performance at the 64th Grammys.
