Ashburn

A distinct force in contemporary R&B, SZA has set herself apart with a vulnerable and casually poetic songwriting style and a voice conveying a multitude of emotions with subtle twists and turns. She established herself with a trio of spaced-out EPs and collaborations with the likes of <a href="spotify:artist:2YZyLoL8N0Wb9xBt1NhZWg">Kendrick Lamar</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0hCNtLu0JehylgoiP8L4Gh">Nicki Minaj</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:5pKCCKE2ajJHZ9KAiaK11H">Rihanna</a>, and continued her ascent with Ctrl (2017), a Top Ten album that resulted in five Grammy nominations, including Best New Artist. These accolades proved to be no fluke, as SZA earned almost as many Grammy nominations the next year by assisting <a href="spotify:artist:2YZyLoL8N0Wb9xBt1NhZWg">Kendrick Lamar</a> with "All the Stars," a Top Ten hit, only one in a slew of platinum singles she has scored as a headliner or featured artist. Her rich and complex second album, SOS (2022), went straight to number one on the Billboard 200, produced four Top Ten pop singles -- including the chart-topping revenge fantasy "Kill Bill" -- and earned the artist three Grammy awards. 

Solána Imani Rowe was born in St. Louis and raised in New Jersey, where she excelled in high school gymnastics and cheerleading. After leaving college, Rowe shuffled around different jobs and recorded on the side, influenced by the diverse and maverick likes of <a href="spotify:artist:1YzCsTRb22dQkh9lghPIrp">Billie Holiday</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:7w29UYBi0qsHi5RTcv3lmA">Björk</a>, as well as <a href="spotify:artist:34EP7KEpOjXcM2TCat1ISk">Wu-Tang Clan</a>, whose <a href="spotify:artist:4iCwCMnqsNZ6atvRiADgtn">RZA</a> inspired her performing name. She self-released a pair of dreamy and alluring EPs, 2012's See.SZA.Run and 2013's S, and shortly thereafter signed with <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Top+Dawg+Entertainment%22">Top Dawg Entertainment</a>. SZA had been on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22TDE%22">TDE</a>'s radar since 2011, when label co-founder Terrence "Punch" Henderson was handed material at the CMJ Music Marathon.

Once their agreement was in place, <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Top+Dawg%22">Top Dawg</a> and SZA didn't waste any time. In April 2014, SZA made her label debut with Z, a trippy third EP that entered the Billboard 200 at number 39 with featured appearances from fellow <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22TDE%22">TDE</a> artists <a href="spotify:artist:2YZyLoL8N0Wb9xBt1NhZWg">Kendrick Lamar</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:6aaMZ3fcfLv4tEbmY7bjRM">Isaiah Rashad</a>, as well as one from <a href="spotify:artist:1anyVhU62p31KFi8MEzkbf">Chance the Rapper</a>. By the end of 2016, SZA was a highly valued collaborator herself. She appeared on high-profile <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22TDE%22">TDE</a> releases from <a href="spotify:artist:2YZyLoL8N0Wb9xBt1NhZWg">Lamar</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6aaMZ3fcfLv4tEbmY7bjRM">Rashad</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5IcR3N7QB1j6KBL8eImZ8m">ScHoolboy Q</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:28ExwzUQsvgJooOI0X1mr3">Jay Rock</a>, co-wrote <a href="spotify:artist:0hCNtLu0JehylgoiP8L4Gh">Nicki Minaj</a>'s "Feeling Myself" and <a href="spotify:artist:0Y5tJX1MQlPlqiwlOH1tJY">Travis Scott</a>'s "OK Alright," and co-wrote and appeared on <a href="spotify:artist:5pKCCKE2ajJHZ9KAiaK11H">Rihanna</a>'s "Consideration."        

Primed for the spotlight in 2017, SZA followed through that June with her first album. Released through <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22TDE%22">TDE</a>'s arrangement with major-label <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22RCA%22">RCA</a>, the sharply defined Ctrl debuted at number three on the Billboard 200, and on its way to platinum status yielded a pair of multi-platinum singles in "Love Galore" and "The Weekend," both of which went Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100. SZA also broadened her audience that year with contributions to <a href="spotify:artist:04gDigrS5kc9YWfZHwBETP">Maroon 5</a>'s Top Ten "What Lovers Do" and a remix of <a href="spotify:artist:163tK9Wjr9P9DmM0AVK7lm">Lorde</a>'s "Homemade Dynamite." Up for five Grammys, SZA was nominated for Best New Artist and Best Urban Contemporary Album, plus Best R&B Song ("Supermodel"), Best R&B Performance ("The Weekend"), and Best Rap/Sung Performance ("Love Galore"). 

SZA didn't win in any of the categories, but at the time of the ceremony in January 2019, she was already scaling back up the Hot 100 with "All the Stars," recorded with <a href="spotify:artist:2YZyLoL8N0Wb9xBt1NhZWg">Kendrick Lamar</a> for Black Panther: The Album. Another multi-platinum hit, the single peaked at number seven and was nominated in four categories -- including Record of the Year and Song of the Year, two of "the big four" -- at the next Grammy ceremony. During the rest of 2019, SZA added to her between-albums output, which already included <a href="spotify:artist:4kYSro6naA4h99UJvo89HB">Cardi B</a>'s "I Do," with the Game of Thrones commission "Power Is Power" and co-starring roles on <a href="spotify:artist:0QHgL1lAIqAw0HtD7YldmP">DJ Khaled</a>'s "Just Us" and <a href="spotify:artist:246dkjvS1zLTtiykXe5h60">Post Malone</a>'s "Staring at the Sun." In 2020, she paired with <a href="spotify:artist:31TPClRtHm23RisEBtV3X7">Justin Timberlake</a> on the song "The Other Side" for the Trolls World Tour soundtrack. She also released <a href="spotify:artist:0KuF7reCTOZwV7YJnHQqgr">the Neptunes</a>-produced track "Hit Different" -- a number 29 pop hit featuring <a href="spotify:artist:7c0XG5cIJTrrAgEC3ULPiq">Ty Dolla $ign</a> -- and "Good Days," which reached number nine. 

A comparatively quiet year for SZA, 2021 was highlighted by a featured appearance on <a href="spotify:artist:5cj0lLjcoR7YOSnhnX0Po5">Doja Cat</a>'s uptempo single "Kiss Me More," a number three pop hit. SZA also contributed "The Anonymous Ones" to the soundtrack for the coming-of-age film Dear Evan Hansen. "No Love" (headlined by <a href="spotify:artist:57LYzLEk2LcFghVwuWbcuS">Summer Walker</a>) and "I Hate U" appeared at the end of the year; the latter reached number seven on the pop chart. At the 64th Annual Grammy Awards the following February, "Good Days" was up for Best R&B Song, and "Kiss Me More" won for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. A deluxe edition of Ctrl, including seven previously unreleased songs, appeared that June, five years after the album was originally released. 

In December 2022, SZA delivered her second LP, SOS, on which she teamed with a deep roster of production and songwriting associates tied together by extensive input from Rob Bisel, Carter Lang, and ThankGod4Cody. The album topped both the Billboard 200 and R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts, with "Nobody Gets Me," "Kill Bill," and the <a href="spotify:artist:3aVoqlJOYx31lH1gibGDt3">Babyface</a> collaboration "Snooze" following "I Hate U" and "Good Days" into the Top Ten. "Kill Bill" became SZA's first number one pop hit, and "Snooze" received another boost with an acoustic version assisted by <a href="spotify:artist:1uNFoZAHBGtllmzznpCI3s">Justin Bieber</a>. After SZA topped the Hot 100 a second time, featured on <a href="spotify:artist:3TVXtAsR1Inumwj472S9r4">Drake</a>'s "Slime You Out," she received a leading nine nominations at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards, including nods for Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Record of the Year -- all of the "the big four" categories for which she was eligible. SOS won Best Progressive R&B Album, "Snooze" took Best R&B Song, and the <a href="spotify:artist:1r1uxoy19fzMxunt3ONAkG">Phoebe Bridgers</a> collaboration "Ghost in the Machine" earned Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi

This is so healing. I hope she knows how many people she healed with this

this woman is like a magical fairy on earth.

this deserves to be a bonus track on S.O.S... just saying

Couldn’t ask for a better present this Christmas.

“I still wanna try , still believe in good days” felt that .

Just when the world needed her most, she came back with a beautiful song.

LMAO i love how everyone stopped what they were doing to come on YouTube, real love right there❤️🙌

SZA&#39;s really good at expressing emotions in her music. I can&#39;t relate to the lyrics but it still has me in my feels. Can&#39;t wait for the album to drop cause I know it&#39;s gonna be amazing.

SZA's really good at expressing emotions in her music. I can't relate to the lyrics but it still has me in my feels. Can't wait for the album to drop cause I know it's gonna be amazing.

Someone make a petition for SZA to release her unreleased songs!

Laying here at 2:48am listening to this song that says EVERYTHING I feel... can&#39;t believe I have wasted 13 years next to the wrong one. I can&#39;t even sleep peacefully next to him because I am uncomfortable in my own bed because he is in it. This song has given me the courage to let go and start to heal from the silent , broken, lonely and affection-starved marriage I have allowed myself to be imprisoned in.. Time to break free. Thank you Sza..

I&#39;m high key addicted to this song 🙃

i was up at 1am singing this song from the GUT. everyone stan sza for good grades and clear skin

When you’re in a healthy relationship but still screaming this to the top of your lungs!!!! SZA SNAPPED AGAIN 🤍🤩

the way she’s managed to maneuver her way into mainstream music and stayed relevant with no album release since 2017 is INSANE 🔥

This CANNOT be the SZA we know. Consecutive new releases? I USED TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THIS😭😭

One year later and she still hasn’t released it…I am crying about it

my heart just dropped to my ass, sza you can’t be doing this out of nowhere

SZA will most definitely be coming hard for this new era and I’m ready for EVERYTHING she has to share.

I am not going to lie. Even though we had to wait 5 years. SHE is going to make it all worth it!

SZA knows how to do visuals can’t wait for this release

I Hate You

SZA

[Verse 1]
I be so sick of you niggas, y'all contradicting
I be so bored with myself, can you come and fuck me?
I feel so ordinary, sad when you around me
Treat me like corduroy, wear me out
Arguments, you air me out
Tripping 'bout your whereabouts
I can't keep no conflict with you, boy, can we just rub it out?
I don't want no static with you, you know you my plug
And I can't shake this habit, no

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been up, baby
Heavy reminiscin'
Heavy on the missin' you
Wish shit was different than what it was (Oh yeah, ayy)
I've been up, baby
Lost in the lie of us
Lost, ain't no findin' us
I've been up, baby

[Chorus]
And if you wondered if I hate you (I do)
Shitty of you to make me feel just like this
What I would do to make you feel just like this?
And if you wondered if I hate you (Fuck you)
Shitty of you to makе me feel just like this
What I would do to make you feel just likе this?

[Verse 2]
Used to be too solid 'til you scrambled me
Used to be your rider, you mishandle me
Used to be nonviolent 'til you ambushed me
Now I'm out here wildin' with you
Now I'm out here, silent treatment, that mean no permission (No)
Missionary gettin' boring, can you switch positions? (Yeah)
Hard to save your soul, you don't ever listen, no (No)

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been up, baby
Heavy reminiscin'
Heavy on the missin' you
Wish shit was different than what it was (Oh yeah, ayy)
I've been up, baby
Lost in the lie of us
Lost, ain't no findin' us
I've been up, baby

[Chorus]
And if you wondered if I hate you (I do)
Shitty of you to make me feel just like this
What I would do to make you feel just like this?
And if you wondered if I hate you (Fuck you)
Shitty of you to make me feel just like this
What I would do to make you feel just like this?
