“You ain’t nothing but a/ Dog? Player, I get it / Fraud? Player, I get it / I understand, I understand / You ain’t the man, you ain’t a man,” Doja raps, intermixed with Thornton’s vocals.
The song, which was first previewed to fans during Doja’s performance atCoachella, will be featured in theBaz Luhrmann-directed biopic, set to premiere on June 24.
