Leigh-Anne said of the song, “When we wrote this song, I just knew it was something special, it perfectly captures the essence of who I want to be as a solo artist. That feel-good, powerful, and anthemic song - it's all about celebrating self-love and embracing its incredible power, and when there was a discussion on a feature I know Ayra was the only one who could embody and amplify this message.”
“Paint The Town Red” was released by Doja Cat from her fourth studio album “Scarlet” back in August.
The song reached No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles chart.
