"Agora Hills" is Doja Cat's anthem of unapologetic love for the comedian and internet personality Jeffrey "J" Cyrus. She repeatedly sings, "I wanna show you off," testifying her eagerness to bring their relationship into the limelight. Doja paints Cyrus as her rock, her emotional refuge, and the one who mended her heart after a painful breakup. This song is a grand gesture, making it official and letting him know she's all in. Cyrus has sparked controversy with accusations of grooming and sexual misconduct. Doja, though, isn't swayed by the naysayers and throws her love in the face of criticism, defending her choice with unapologetic fervor. Take you 'round the world, they don't have to understand Rub it in their face, put a rock on her hand Although not mentioned in the song's lyrics, "Agora Hills" is a reference to Doja Cat's upbringing. She spent her formative years at an ashram commune nestled in the Santa Monica Mountains of Agoura Hills, a suburb of Los Angeles, founded and led by jazz musician Alice Coltrane. Doja Cat's deliberate misspelling of the city's name links to the track's meaning. "Agora" traces its roots to ancient Greece, denoting the bustling heart of a city-state where commerce, civic affairs, and social life converged. It's also the root of "agoraphobia," an anxiety disorder that makes people dread and avoid crowded public spaces. And that's precisely what the song delves into: being open in bustling places while in the company of your romantic partner. Doja Cat wrote "Agora Hills" with the song's producers Earl On The Beat, Gentuar Memishi, Bangs and Jean Baptiste. Earl on the Beat and Jean Baptiste also co-produced Doja's chart-topping hit "Paint The Town Red." "Agora Hills" samples R&B group Troop's 1990 version of the Jackson Five song "All I Do Is Think of You." Consequently, its writers, Michael Lovesmith and Brian Holland, also get credits on "Agora Hills." Hannah Lux Davis (Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj) co-directed the music video with Doja Cat. They shot it in Pomona, California, and Koreatown in Los Angeles.

Kissing, I hope they caught us
Whether they like or not (not)

You can hit while they watch, boy

(So, 9:30?)
(I'll see you there)
(No, you hang up)
(You hang up)

Somethin' different about you
Love it when he hit and smack too
Baby, lemme lick on your tattoos
That's true that I like PDA
Take it to a safe place
Suck a little dick in the bathroom
Who that man with the big strong hands
On her ass in the club with the paps? Baby, that's you
Front seat chillin' with the window down
I be ten toes down on the dash getting' fast food
Hope you can handle the heat
Put your name in the streets
Get used to my fans looking at you
Fuck what they heard, I don't fuck with them birds
I'm a mean kitty, don't get stabbed with the rat tooth
Boys be mad that I don't fuck incels
Girls hate too, gun to their pigtail
I love you, I wanna big chill
Boy, don't trip, I'll split a big bill
Take you 'round the world, they don't have to understand
Rub it in their face, put a rock on her hand

(Baby, can you call me back? I miss you)
(It's so lonely in my mansion)

Kissing, I hope they caught us

(Ah, sorry, I was taking a sip of my root beer)

'Cause love is pain but I need this shit (yeah)
We fuck too good when the bean kicks in

Don't give a fuck where the penis been (uh)
Boy, you're the one, you're the only man
Me and you on my OnlyFans (come on)
Holy cow, you're the Holy Trin' (Trin')
Hold me down when a hole need dick
Be my security, it's your therapy
With you I ain't holding shit back
When I need my space, you give that
When he broke my heart, you fixed that
With a long walk on the beach
Love it when they honk-honk on the street
When they see us zoom by in the Jeep
We a whole damn joint, we an energy
Baby, we could just ride on our enemies
They all wanna know how you get to me
Let 'em feel how they feel and be Philistines
'Cause this type of love's the epitome, said

(Baby, you're literally capping to me right now)
(Like, why are you capping?)
(You just cap so hard, it's-)
(I don't know what to do)
