"Boss Bitch" is a song by American singer and rapper Doja Cat, featured on the Birds of Prey soundtrack . It was released as the soundtrack's third single on January 24, 2020.

Composition

"Boss Bitch" is an "uptempo record" combined with a "poppy feel mixing layers of synths and cowbells". The lyrical content was described as a "fiery clapback at her haters".

Critical reception

"Boss Bitch" was met with positive reviews from music critics. Patrick Johnson at Hypebeast described Doja's rendition as "a club-leaning single that features dubbing synths, unexpected cowbells and an undeniable chorus" and commented on her performance as "exuding the confidence and anti-good girl swagger of the film's protagonist Harley Quinn". James Dinh at IHeartRadio compared Doja's charisma to early Nicki Minaj with lyrics that "give the rising star more reason to gain attention", while Paper's Brendan Wetmore spoke for fans of Doja Cat when he said that the song was more reminiscent of Azealia Banks's "more bass-heavy works". As part of the soundtrack review, Jazz Tangcay of Vulture labeled the album opener as "declaratory" with a hook that exudes the singer's "bad-ass determination".
In June 2020, the song was listed as the 27th best song of 2020 so far by Billboard.
