Doechii takes a deep breath before her next era, teaming up with SZA on “girl, get up.”, a striking exhale that closes her Swamp Sessions series and opens the door to what comes next. The track finds Doechii laying it all bare: her rise, her doubts, and her defiance.
Over production from Jay Versace, built around a sample of “What Happened To That Boy” by Baby and Clipse, Doechii’s delivery swings between reflection and release. Her pen is razor-sharp as she dismantles industry labels, confronts the “plant” narrative, and reclaims her story on her own terms. SZA joins with soulful, grounded grace adding warmth and weight to the song’s emotional core.
Directed by James Mackel (who also helmed Doechii’s GRAMMY-nominated “Anxiety” visual), the accompanying video doubles down on the track’s message transformation through truth. Together, Doechii and SZA make “girl, get up.” feel less like a song and more like a sermon: a reminder that resilience is the real currency of greatness.
