"Cyber Sex" is a song by American rapper and singer Doja Cat. It was released alongside a music video through Kemosabe and RCA Records on November 7, 2019, as the fourth single from her second studio album Hot Pink, which was released on the same day. Written by Doja Cat, Yeti Beats and Lydia Asrat, the song was also produced by Kool Kojak alongside Tizhimself.[1] It features "90s-esque synth-heavy bubblegum raps".[2]

The song was popularized by internet meme personality "Queen of Brooklyn" on social media sites such as Twitter and TikTok.[3] It was later certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America in late November 2020.

Music video

On November 7, 2019, a music video was released alongside the song. The video was directed by Jack Begert, produced by Psycho Films—including executive producer Sam Canter and producer Geenah Krisht—and commissioned by Sam Houston. It stars Doja Cat as a webcam model who becomes an engineer and genetically develops her ideal sexual partner.[4] [5]
