"Mooo!" (often stylized in all caps as "MOOO!") is a song by American rapper and singer Doja Cat. Originally self-published exclusively as a music video on August 10, 2018, it became a viral internet meme and amassed over 578 million views. It was subsequently released as the lead single from the deluxe edition (and third overall) of her debut studio album Amala.
