AceShowbiz - SZA is an open book when it comes to the inspirations behind her music. The "SOS" artist has clarified the inspirations behind her albums after social media trolls labeled her new album "sad girl music."
Making use of her Twitter on Tuesday, December 20, the 33-year-old clapped back at haters who claimed that she only wrote about broken heart. " 'SOS' is me singing about relationships from 6 years ago," she explained, adding, " 'Ctrl' was about relationships from high school n college . Reflection is a part of growth . Reflection is good."
Prior to that, SZA pushed back claims that she only makes "sad girl music." The "Kill Bill" hitmaker fumed, "Ignoring songs like 'SOS', 'PSA', 'Concieted', 'Low', 'Forgiveless', 'Seek & Destroy', 'Notice Me', or 'Ex pack'. To pretend I only make sad girl music is dumb."
In a following tweet, SZA mentioned another not-sad-girl-music on her successful album "SOS", "Forgot good days." The "Nothing Gets Me" songstress also noted that " 'F2F' def ain't sad..," before revealing that it's "about rebound d**k lol."
More recently, SZA, born Solana Imani Rowe, admitted that she "never in a million years" thought people would love "SOS", which made her earn her first No. 1 album on Billboard 200. In a new interview with Rolling Stone, the singer/songwriter admitted that she told her record label to consider moving the release date to January as she feared it would be hated.
"[Another] part of me was just like, I just wanna get it over with. I wanna meet my own fate. If [people] hate it, then great. I can never do music again," SZA shared. "And I told my engineer, we'll move to India and we'll live on an ashram and we'll take a vow of silence and that's it. And it is also really scary that it didn't go that way because I'm like, now what do I do."
Following the release of her sophomore album, SZA unveiled that she plans to "disappear" for "as long as I can." In an interview with Consequence, she said, "I'm gonna disappear, definitely, for as long as I can. We kinda knocked it out. I need to shoot as many videos as I can, so I can disappear for longer."
