What does "Talk to me Doja" mean?

"Talk to me Doja" is the caption on a TikTok trend where people cup their cheeks and sway shyly like an anime girl to a sped-up Doja Cat song. The joke: Doja Cat is talking to you, and you are too flustered to answer.

The short answer

Talk to Me Doja is a TikTok dance meme from November 2026. Creators pair a sped-up clip of Doja Cat's "Like That" with a scene from the anime Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches, where the character Urara Shiraishi sways with her hands under her chin. They copy that sway on camera and add the caption "talk to me Doja."

The phrase reads like a reply to Doja Cat herself. The tone is cute and bashful, not mocking: the sway is a flustered, flirty "who, me?"

Not to be confused with

  • The older "talk to me" TikTok trend, which uses Playboi Carti's "Punk Monk" and grew out of the "don't talk to me" format.
  • "Doja" by Central Cee (2022). Several AI tools have "Doja" templates built on that song; it is a different trend.
  • Doja Cat's own "Like That" dance challenge from 2020, which Charli D'Amelio popularized. Same song, different moves.
  • "Talk to me Doja" is the caption, not a song title. The sound is Doja Cat's "Like That", not a track called "Talk to Me".

How to join without filming

Filming it yourself needs a good angle, a few takes and an editor to add the anime stickers. Talk to Me Doja AI does the whole clip from one photo: it follows the original TikTok's timing, keeps the stickers, and adds the original sound to your download.
