"'Freak'" is a song by American singer and rapper Doja Cat released through Kemosabe Records and RCA Records on August 7, 2020. Originally uploaded exclusively to SoundCloud in 2018, it was repackaged and released commercially due to popular demand by fans online. The single samples the 1959 song, "Put Your Head on My Shoulder" by Paul Anka. A standalone promotional single, "Freak" received a limited vinyl release via Urban Outfitters in November 2020.

Background and release



Prior to its re-release, "Freak" had gained popularity on the video-sharing platform TikTok, where it had been used in over 1.2 million videos. In late June 2020, Doja Cat teased multiple new songs on an Instagram live which she stated would all be released together in an upcoming project. Alongside the announcement of "Freak", Doja Cat wrote that she had released the song in order to hold her fans off while she works on "a new surprise." Both a clean and explicit version were released digitally. In November 2020, a limited edition vinyl release of the song was made available exclusively through Urban Outfitters in order to support 11/11 Singles Day.
