"Persuasive" is a song by American rapper and singer Doechii. It was released through Top Dawg on March 18, 2022.

Background[edit]
In March 2022, it was reported that Doechii had been signed to Top Dawg Entertainment and Capitol Records, making her the first female rapper to be signed with the former label.[1][2] This would lead to "Persuasive" being released later that month as her first major label single.[3]
Composition[edit]
"Persuasive" was written by Doechii, Austin Daniel Brown, Kal Banx, Oh Gosh Leotus, Ivan Jackson, and Zach Witness. The song is an uptempo dance track blending both house and hip hop music.[4][5] Doechii said that her main reason behind the song's creation was to "uplift people and bring communities together."[6] The lyrics speak to the persuasive nature of marijuana and the feeling of getting high.
