Why yes, that is a signficant and prominent Dionne Warwick sample in this song.
Sampling is nothing new. Artists do this all the time.
Because of the samples, there's a long list of songwriters, including Burt Bacharach, for this song, but Doja Cat wrote the lyrics 100% herself.
In 2023, it became her 2nd US #1 hit, and her 1st as a solo artist (she previously hit for "Say So" with Nicki Minaj). It was and IS a huge hit worldwide. It's constantly sung by other people in my house. It's infectious.
The song is nominated for Best Pop Solo Performance this Sunday, at the Grammys, and it's got a solid chance, being the only nomination for the song.
In this performance for BBC Radio 1, Doja Cat performs the song live with a full band and clearly sings the hell out of this.
For her part, Dionne Warwick is happy about the sample.
