Demons (Doja Cat song)
"Demons" is a song by American rapper and singer Doja Cat. It was released on September 1, 2023, through Kemosabe and RCA Records as the third single of her upcoming fourth studio album, Scarlet. The song is produced by American record producer D.A. Got That Dope.

Background and promotion
The singer first alluded to a demon-inspired theme in early March 2023, when she changed her profile picture on TikTok to that of a demon and posted outtakes of a photoshoot that show her dressed as a demon. A set of blood-stained photos she shared on Instagram on July 12 was further described as "demonic" and "creepy". "Demons" as a title was first revealed as part of the tracklist along with a short snippet in April 2023.

On August 27, 2023, Doja shared a still of the upcoming music video that shows her sitting in a bathtub filled with a thick black liquid and some type of shap-nailed demon holding her head while posessing her. She announced the single on her social media on August 28, 2023. In the cover art for the song, the rapper is seen standing upside down from a living room ceiling with the words "Demon" written on the carpet while being covered in black body paint, widely referred to as "backroom" aesthetic. After the release of her previous single "Paint the Town Red" and its associated "death-related" imagery, "Demons" is seen as a continuation of said visual theme.

Music video 
After premiering at Cinespia in Los Angeles on August 27, 2023, the trailer for the music video was later uploaded onto Doja Cat's official website, revealing it to be directed by Christian Breslauer and co-starring American actress Christina Ricci.
