"Streets" is a song by American rapper and singer Doja Cat (pictured). Appearing on her second studio album Hot Pink (2019), it is an R&B ballad with lyrics about a desire to return to a former romantic partner. The song became a sleeper hit around 15 months after the album's release—specifically, it went viral on the video-sharing application TikTok. It appeared in over 300,000 TikTok videos as background music for the "Silhouette Challenge", an online challenge in which participants danced while illuminated from behind with red lighting. Driven primarily by streams and digital sales, the song peaked within the top 20 of many national record charts, including the US Billboard Hot 100, and received platinum certifications in eight countries. "Streets" was sent to US contemporary hit radio stations as Hot Pink's seventh and final single on February 16, 2021. A corresponding music video premiered the next month, depicting Doja Cat's own version of the Silhouette Challenge. (Full article...)
