“Best Friend” by Saweetie (ft. Doja Cat)

On this track Saweetie and Doja Cat portray the role of “best friend(s)”. Said premise serves as a means where the two vocalists go about biggin’ each other up. And as such, they present themselves as boss b***hes, if you will. That is to say that they are both well-paid in addition to having domineering personalities and strong sex appeal. Also the track is at least partially set in a strip club, and accordingly they are also both presented as having exceptional twerking skills. But at the end of the days this isn’t so much about the two vocalists per se. Rather the lyrics operate more along the lines of detailing who they perceive to be the ideal type of lady, which is an ideology both of them obviously live up to.
