“Payday” is a spirited rap song featuring famous Atlanta rapper Young Thug, and is the third track to appear on her third studio album Planet Her.

Initially, in April 2020, Doja teased this song on her Instagram live without any further detail, and in February of 2021, snippets of “Payday” began getting copyright claimed on YouTube, leading fans to believe the song was set to be on Planet Her.

Though, in June 2021, it was confirmed that “Payday” would be on Planet Her after Doja posted the tracklist on her Instagram, and was announced that Young Thug would feature on the song as well.
