Doja Cat's "Vegas" fronted the soundtrack to Baz Luhrmann's Elvis as its lead single, arriving on Kemosabe and RCA on May 6, 2022, and it reaches back past Presley himself. Producers Rogét Chahayed and Yeti Beats built the track on Shonka Dukureh's recording of "Hound Dog", the Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller tune that Big Mama Thornton cut first, in 1952, before Presley covered it; Dukureh plays Thornton in the film. Serban Ghenea mixed it.
Over that sample, Doja goes after a lover who never lived up to the billing and never earned a second of her time, and Uproxx heard her rapping with a vengeance. It gave her a seventh top-ten hit on the Hot 100, plus a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Performance.
