"Freaky Deaky" is a song by American rappers Tyga and Doja Cat. It was released on February 25, 2022, as the intended lead single of the former's upcoming eighth studio album. Written by the performers alongside Alyssa Cantu and producers Brandon Hamlin, Dr. Luke, Mike Crook, and Ryan Ogren, it is a pop-driven track featuring a lullaby-like hook built around an interpolation of the 1987 song "Tom's Diner" by Suzanne Vega, who received a songwriting credit. The track sees rappers discussing their sexual preferences over a catchy and upbeat tune. Conceived around two years before the release, the single marks the second collaboration between the rappers since 2019, when Tyga was featured on the remix of Doja Cat's "Juicy".
"Freak Deaky" was met with a positive response from music critics, who praised its catchiness and the chemistry between the artists. It was nominated for The Collaboration Song on 48th People's Choice Awards. Commercially, it peaked at number 43 on Billboard Hot 100 chart and reached top 40 in Australia, Hungary, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the Global 200 chart. The single topped the Rhythmic Airplay Chart, becoming Tyga's fourth and Doja Cat's seventh number one on the chart. The track has been certified gold in the United States and New Zealand. An accompanying music video directed by Christian Breslauer features Tyga being seduced by a sultry dressed Doja Cat.
