It was released on November 7, 2019, by Kemosabe Records and RCA Records. A departure from the sound of her debut album ''Amala'' (2018), ''Hot Pink'' is a pop, hip hop, and R&B record containing elements of funk and soul. The album features production from Doja herself, Yeti Beats, Tyson Trax, and others, with guest appearances from Smino, Gucci Mane, and Tyga.
The album received generally favorable reviews from music critics, who praised ''Hot Pink'' for its versatility and incorporation of various music genres. ''Hot Pink'' was famed for its longevity and ability to produce singles long after its release, spawning seven singles between 2019 and 2021. In 2020, "Say So" became Doja Cat's first number-one single on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 after being remixed by rapper Nicki Minaj. In early 2021, "Streets" became a sleeper hit and entered the top 20 of the Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart, as well as the top ten on the ''Billboard'' Global 200.
In May 2020, ''Hot Pink'' peaked at number nine on the US ''Billboard'' 200, becoming Doja Cat's first top 10 entry on the chart. It has been certified double platinum in the United States by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The album peaked in the top 40 of 12 other countries including the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Sweden and Norway. It was nominated for Favorite Soul/R&B Album at the 2020 American Music Awards and Top R&B Album at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards.
