This is how I found SZA. She was a tumblr girl and I literally thought she was one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen. So cool to see how much shes grown in the industry
D. Thomas not according to the credits he didn’t. DJ Dahi did. Mac Miller produced “Ur” and “warm winds” from this project. Larry fisherman aka Mac Miller .
I used to be a huge stoner last year and I listened to song everyday when I would smoke. I didn't realize until now how haunting this song is. Reminds me of how much i didn't like myself and how alone I felt. I still adore SZA, so glad she made this song. I can reflect on how far i've come as a person since last year. Thank you Solana.
@Cherie Hi friend! Well, tbh what help me stop smoking was how sick I got with myself. Instead of internalizing it and accepting as who I was. I decided that my progress was more important than getting high. I would smoke to ease my anxiety but that always meant smoking too much and getting paranoid. I operate better with a clear mind, and since im a workaholic, I knew that would be a huge driving force for me. Basically... imagine one of the biggest driving forces in your life and slowly quit it for them or it. I hope this finds you in a happy mental state. I know its hard with the corona virus, but we're going to be okay.
I'm so tired of people talking about "I miss old SZA" she is going to change, she's a human being. Expect progressiveness, she isnt gonna sound or be th he same forever.
I love the rawness in this video. The dirty socks, clothes, fucked up iphone and the symbolism of suicide. The little details that make the whole embodiment of the video and song seem so real, like i believe everything she's saying. Very relatable.
Me: No she's just going for a dip in the pool of Intuition to become reborn without her old forms (hence the dropping of personal possessions and memorabilia so consciously placed before wading in).
I find it interesting because if you think about it, when people commit suicide by water they usually jump off a bridge to be killed by the impact or rocks. Or they slit their wrists and lay it in water (a tub filled). In her case, she willingly drowned herself and didn't use any other means to make her back out at the last moment. She died by suffocation of self drowning and lack of air. She held her self down underwater without any physical restraint but with only her will power or lack of there of. Many others would have re-emerged because they couldn't help but to fight against suffocation. She purified herself and peacefully crucified herself. She passed in a clean and pure way. She was meteorically crucified. Legs and arms spread except there was no need for nails restraints. That's part of what I get out of it.
Niyalaful Also think of the term Babylon . "Babylon refers to the place of captivity as well as the power structure that keeps them there" "Oh, Babylon, the whole earth has drank the madness in your wine. Now a day has come when you must pay for every crime." "praise them for bringing a new rectitude to Babylon"
Niyalaful Technically in a way. She didn't commit suicide. Purification. Death to and by purification. She freed herself from the restraints of today's society and the sins of those before her.
Cherbs turner Your point is sort of ironic. If you pass out in the sea, you'd drown due to not being aware enough to stay afloat. And I understand when you say its just a song.... but many songs are known for messages, and the most iconic can cause controversy and influence history. And even if it's "just a song" or "just" a video, if people want to have a meaningful conversation of what they believe it depicts, then let them. After all.... its "just a song" isn't it?
This is a great video. SZA herself said that this song was about rejection from her parents. So she lays objects from her life on the cardigan on the ground, calmly, systematically. (Notice how the iPhone has been smashed, from rage maybe?) The ring shows her letting go from her relationships or even giving up on the idea of love entirely. For almost the whole video she is faceless - this is how repeated bullying especially from parents makes you feel - it shrinks you and makes you anonymous. While she walks to her suicide in the lake, she looks back (the first time we see her face) is it a look of second thoughts? The suicide note at the end of the video reads "gone fishin'
When we see different expressions of ourselves, we modify our understanding of ourselves and create new concepts within our minds. To me, her music is as important as Outkast, Sade, Janelle Monae, Watch the duck, FKA twigs, In that it offers new/refreshing expressions of human nature/music. It's honest, raw, & real. I think it makes a great stride in breaking down barriers/stereotypes about (black) people & helps people rediscover themselves. And this song is dope as hell.
I honestly miss the old SZA. She’s changed so much since Z. I mean I also love where she’s gone with CTRL but there’s just something about this that just has a raw beauty without trying.
yes deffs agree with u both i love CTRL but its so much more appealed to a larger audience and like im happy for her success but i miss her back in the Z stage when like no one knew her especially all the 12vies out there lmao
PDA YESSSSSSS FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE NOTICED!! I've been waiting for this for so long it's been tearing me up inside how the entire fan base has not addressed the fact that she has obviously changed tremendously since Z, and I still like Ctrl, but it's like an ENTIRE different category compared to this, if SZA had The Weeknd's fan base she would be burned at the stake lol 😂😂😂, but lucky for her she's blessed with an OVERLY loyal fan base 😂😂
@@soulremedies it's normal artists evolve change so does their art with them, she was in a diff state/phase when she did "Z" and a different one with "Ctrl" as the tone and mood of the album is different from "Z" and with her next album it would probably be different. As fans we should learn to grow with the artist. Change isn't in the music industry isn't always negative or trying to "appeal to mainstream", it is just exactly what it is change. We all want acknowledgement for all those who we feel are deserving of and she finally has it. Just because she isn't our little secret anymore doesn't mean she is any less authentic.
Jinnamonster12 Ctrl doesn't sound mainstream tho actually she set the tone for alot of the new r&b girls out after her it's just a different phase in her life you're not gonna write music similar to the year before ....not a write like sza anyways
Wow. Just got fucked up in my thoughts imagining if that was the world we lived in. If this level of music was the popular, the norm, the record selling stadium shit.
She is amazing, this is our favourite song of hers and she is truly an inspiration for us. You MIGHT like our *Oriental & Haunting* music as well and our new Sci-Fi music video *'Hand of God'* as well x
Babylon is a depressing song once you read the lyrics. I saw a video where she explained that it's about a time when her parents paid for her to go to college, but she didn't want to; she dropped out and her patents were disappointed in her and this song is basically her response. To be honest, I think she's going through a tough time with depression because her videos, lyrics, and the way she answers interview questions (vaguely, stops midway, etc.) showcases how lonely she is. I hope I'm wrong and SZA is sincerely happy. Even the richest and most successful people can go into severe depression.
incase yall didn't know, it's not impossible to compliment SZA without bringing down another female artist:)) just because you like her more than main stream artist doesn't mean you are better/or have better music taste. lol get off ya high horse sis, just enjoy the music 👌🏾
Natasha they had a rough relationship a couple of years ago, that’s why she used to make songs like sobriety. But since the release of ctrl they bettered their relationship and he’s more supportive of her.
Why are people so fucking obsessed with collabs ? She sounds amazing on her own, and she has a own universe. So does FKA twigs, so does Abra, so do every artists. Why anyone would want to dilute such beatiful artistic expression is beyond me.
Been rocking with SZA ever since this song 🔥. And even I was late on her back then. But these new people just catching on to her music are hella late. 😂😂😭 She's been cold asf.
Love how she takes off the ring puts its on the makeshift blanket, takes off her shoe, ring is still on her finger, puts shoe down, ring is back on the makeshift blanket. She's a magician too!
That is almost exactly what happened to me. Except even after hearing this first, I randomly turned the playlist on to one of her songs and it shuffled to the ft with Kendrick Lamar and I loved it even more.
daaaamn, while everyone is jumping all over Yonce's new shit, they all sleeping on beautiful more original and authentic artists like SZA, the internet and ABRA. Love

It's a shame that this video doesn't have over a million views her voice is just absolutely amazing but if she keeps going like this I'm pretty sure she'll have more of a bigger fan base by the end of this year or next year but shit who knows only time will tell
What? You think artists don’t evolve and grow. This was her lazy and not taking her craft seriously. If you were really a fan you would’ve caught all her interviews where she talked about it. Not showing up to record. Being high all the time. Not practicing. Only doing music when she felt like it. She’s amazing and I love this version of her, but it was half assed. It was a moment in her life before she gone herself and was rebelling against everybody. She didn’t even know who she was. As teens, 20s, and 30s you’re a completely different person.
all yall in the comments who listened to this song in 2016, who wrote poetry and smoked and created and did ur shit to it, yall are the real ones and i respect u for it. i love yall
Nobody understands what "her image" means for all of the little brown girls around the world. I am so honored to have her representing for all of us . Her sound is so unique and I appreciate every freckle , every melody , and I hope she gets the well deserved recognition.
This was the first song I heard from her a couple years ago and I've been mesmerized with it to this day. She deserves the airplay. Such a beautiful voice. I'm glad the world.gets to hear it even more!!
I listened to this song when it came out and I’m glad it got so much recognition later on and even continues to this day. When I first heard I played it to my boyfriend at the time and I said you better listen to this because she’s gonna be BIG one day. I said the same about kali uchis when she first came out.
This is how I found SZA. She was a tumblr girl and I literally thought she was one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen. So cool to see how much shes grown in the industry
Ugh I miss this era of her . I miss this style the hair 😓
She's almost unrecognizable now which is unfortunate because she was more beautiful with her natural features :/
They way I messaged her on tumblr asking her for the musical notes for icemoon after a life tragedy. Lol
Only steps like that
Same!
I feel like SZA is the manifestation of all of the souls of lonely girls who survived trauma and came out stronger in the other side.
♥
This may be one of the most beautifullest things I've ever seen written about her. Ty 💖
Yo her music description is that no lie G✨
She is in fact, my unsolved traumas and SZA as the soundtrack of the nights I allow myself to cry those traumas.... Girl.
Sza is a Free Spirited Woman and who uses her soul,speaks her words and has the Sound of an Iconic Artist

The song that got me hooked on SZA. My favourite era of hers. Wish she made more haunting vibes like these.

So many quotables in this song. It's just raw poetry.
This will forever be my favorite SZA song. This EP was dope AF. I like Kendrick version but this version is so much more mesmerizing
This is a great video. SZA herself said that this song was about rejection from her parents. So she lays objects from her life on the cardigan on the ground, calmly, systematically. (Notice how the iPhone has been smashed, from rage maybe?) The ring shows her letting go from her relationships or even giving up on the idea of love entirely. For almost the whole video she is faceless - this is how repeated bullying especially from parents makes you feel - it shrinks you and makes you anonymous. While she walks to her suicide in the lake, she looks back (the first time we see her face) is it a look of second thoughts? The suicide note at the end of the video reads "gone fishin'
Wow 🖤
wow, this is great!
just like you

You better review her next album Z then, comes out April 8th
blackie chan
i don't like you like that.
Anthony, reply back if you're god.
Unpopular opinion....this version is BETTER than the one with Kendrick.
I agree
Gaaaaaaaah, it honestly makes it unlistenable to me to hear Kendrick on it, it's so much more haunting and enchanting on this version.
Not an unpopular one, the right one 😂
This is the correct opinion. Kendrick’s verse is good objectively but it doesn’t fit the haunting vibe of this song at ALL
Couldn’t agree more
She's cleansing herself in the waters of Lake Minnatonka.
ONLY Prince fans will understand this !!!
This is one of the most beautiful pieces of art I've seen in music in a really long time.
Fact!
I thought she was just going for a swim.... That was a roller coaster.
Farah art my ass that's suicide

Crucifixion crack rock love feeding my addiction pessimistic

She is selling her soul
I always see this but NEVER wanted to listen to it. So today I was like "awe what the heck" so I just tried it and I'm in live with it!!!
Love**
That is almost exactly what happened to me. Except even after hearing this first, I randomly turned the playlist on to one of her songs and it shuffled to the ft with Kendrick Lamar and I loved it even more.
daaaamn, while everyone is jumping all over Yonce's new shit, they all sleeping on beautiful more original and authentic artists like SZA, the internet and ABRA.
Love
the internet are so good wallah
let them sleep,more for us
yessss omg Abra is so good!
hell yea!
And Sinead Harnett, FKA twigs
SZA's pen is undeniable. She is incredibly gifted.
SZA + FKA twigs = snatched edges
That collab might kill me
SZA+Grimes....how bout that? mmmm...in love
Me too :-)

Amazing visuals to compliment such an intricate record.
Such a dark message to this video but so beautiful as well.
What message
@@maryandthediamonds1 She’s giving up on life in this song.
@@ayadhyistshe sold out
Missing these SZA vibes! This is back when I fell in love with her!
babylon is the most beautifully haunting song ever existed and it’s so beautiful
[Hook] Crucify, cru-crucify me Crucify, cru-cru [Verse 1: SZA] I can't recall the last time I took, advice from anyone Shaped like a figure eight, who trusts pretty girls anyway? And I can't recall the last time I took advice from anyone I'm sure I'll be the death of me And I can't recall the last time I took love from anyone I called daddy, who's got one anyway? Not me Are you hating yourself? Do you really hate me? Are you hating yourself? [Bridge] Was it worth it? Would you do it again? Aren't you tired of always making a man sore? I know you hate me now (here) I bet you hate me now (here) Bring on the thorny crown (here) Crucify me
[Verse 2: SZA]
I'm really over the cryin' thing, wipin' my tears
Who cries anyway? Spread like disease all over me
We did ungodly ghastly things, last night I mean
Who's God anyway? You're mine any day
It's burning, take me
I wanna feel your power, this final hour, tell me
Are you losing yourself? Will you lose it for me?
Are you losing yourself?
[Bridge]
Was it worth it? Would you do it again?
Aren't you tired of always making a man sore?
I know you hate me now (here)
I bet you hate me now (here
Bring on the thorny crown (here)
Crucify me
[Hook]
Crucify, cru-crucify me
Crucify, cru-cru
Crucify, cru-crucify me
Crucify, cru-cru
Aren't you tired of all the Satanic b.s.
@@voluptuouslyslim580 explain
@@kermmy6295 No need to
Selling her soul
Mocking Jesus Christ
who else came here from simply being a fan😂😂👀 I swear she needs to be bigger than what she is
me lol
This! Sza gets down on every track she does. With such elegance and she doesn't even need to flex her vocals
yesssss!!!!
no shes our little secret
She is along the lines of evolution of music- BUT BUT>>>>>>>DOING IT WELL. Seriously.
growing up abused with no dad and no real guidence, i felt when sza said " i cant recall the last time i took advice from anyone"
i wished she put this version on the album too. The second verse is beautiful too
Josh Sims 3rd... her first and second are the same. Kendrick replaced her 3rd... I agree with u. Fire
I love the gone "fishing note" at the end classic.
+COCO Lve Reminds me of NBA on TNT skit that they do.
Milton Junior haha Maybe.
*"gone fishing" note
+Lil Durk thank you. that was quite the confusing one.
That was deep, reflective, tragic and so powerful, i love it
The SZA I fell in love witj
this song gives me chills bruh
Ryt it's on 🔥🔥 tho... Just on a dark trap beat I'm guessin but it's also in heavy rotation over my way yea👀👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾✊🏾🤗😀💪🏾💪🏾👌🏾❤️👌🏾👍🏾👍🏾😊
rose m me too this shit is crazy
It IS chills
It's a shame that this video doesn't have over a million views her voice is just absolutely amazing but if she keeps going like this I'm pretty sure she'll have more of a bigger fan base by the end of this year or next year but shit who knows only time will tell
Well guess what!!
Who’s here from since the day she dropped this song ❤❤❤❤
this song helped me overcome my "thoughts" a few years ago. SZA still killing it!!!!
Fr 2020 was so dark for me, sza old music helped me so much then
"Was it worth it? Would you do it again?"
Me every time I eat fast food and break my diet
maybe.
I love SZA’s new album but the throwbacks will always be classic 😭
RIP Mac Miller 😭🙏🏼 thank you for producing this track 5 years later I’m still addicted to it 💔😥
I love how she only had 6$ cuz girl, me too lol
😭 nah, for real my fav part.
U all r rich I have 0 🤣🤣
@@leylaacikel6444 right😭
The cracked phone was what hit closest to home lol
That was $7 , don’t play her🤣
I'm just discovering SZA and this is simply beautiful...i think im in love
Esatu uu listen to ABRA,
This comment was a year ago but I would like to say the same thing
I liked this era of SZA before people were hype about her, i feel this was always her true sound. This new era SZA i can't get with it.
What? You think artists don’t evolve and grow. This was her lazy and not taking her craft seriously. If you were really a fan you would’ve caught all her interviews where she talked about it. Not showing up to record. Being high all the time. Not practicing. Only doing music when she felt like it. She’s amazing and I love this version of her, but it was half assed. It was a moment in her life before she gone herself and was rebelling against everybody. She didn’t even know who she was. As teens, 20s, and 30s you’re a completely different person.
My first SZA song. Been hooked since.
She needs to go back to this that’s enough mainstream for sza 😭😭😭
We will never see this SZA again, so dark and deep it’s very unique and was so ahead of it’s time. Glad for her success! 💯
Damn, TDE slackin. They ain't even got a profile pic and shit
Lmao that shit is bothering me forreal.
Okay so?..... No pic = Slacking?
^^^^ dude, shut up.
LilMarksMen1215 It was just a joke dude. lol. I like this song a lot if that makes you feel any better.
lol true
all yall in the comments who listened to this song in 2016, who wrote poetry and smoked and created and did ur shit to it, yall are the real ones and i respect u for it. i love yall
THAT HAIR!!!
So beautiful!
Whether it's real or not, it's still pretty
lol exactly, this is most of her real hair. ppl find those old ass throwbacks of her in her early 20s and swear they know her lifestyle
yessssss
Ari B shut up
Is that her real hair?? If so, it's gorgeous!!!!!
+Kenya Perry It is yeah, (seen her in an interview breakfast club I think it was) its so fucking beautiful.
Yep
Some of it is her real hair and some of it is extension
+Kenya Perry Her her is fake, just like her freckles. She's exposed. Still, she's great.
***** She is beautiful and her music is great but I'm just sayin. You can google it, seems like SZA is fake. But I'm no hater.
Nobody understands what "her image" means for all of the little brown girls around the world. I am so honored to have her representing for all of us . Her sound is so unique and I appreciate every freckle , every melody , and I hope she gets the well deserved recognition.
The very first SZA song I’ve ever heard … wow 🥺 time flies .
This was the first song I heard from her a couple years ago and I've been mesmerized with it to this day. She deserves the airplay. Such a beautiful voice. I'm glad the world.gets to hear it even more!!
Bro... SZA is so deep man I hope she really blows up
forreal. the world needs the thought provoking music that Sza puts out
labels aren't gonna let her sing about shit like this. Fuq being famous.
This legit almost made me cry the cinematography is so good
I listened to this song when it came out and I’m glad it got so much recognition later on and even continues to this day. When I first heard I played it to my boyfriend at the time and I said you better listen to this because she’s gonna be BIG one day. I said the same about kali uchis when she first came out.
I NEED THIS VERSION ON SPOTIFY TOO!!! MAKE KENDRICKS AN EXTRA!!!
This is so intense.
