After debuting her lush new single, “Saturn,” at a Grammys commercial this year, SZA surprise released the track on Thursday evening.
The ode to heartbreak begins with the lonely verse: “If there’s another universe, please make some noise/Give me a sign/ This can’t be life/If there’s a point to losing love.” The chorus makes the case for teleporting to a new planet entirely as she sings, “Life’s better on Saturn/Got to break this pattern of floatin’ away,” before declaring: “Find something worth saving/It’s all for the taking, I always say.”
When speaking to Rolling Stone last year, SZA discussed her current perspective to finding love. “I feel like I have more to offer than the way I look and my energy, but it’s like, I’m human, that shit is all-encompassing,” she said. “I want to stunt like me when I meet the person I envision me being with. I envision them falling in love with me the way I am. But I guess it’s like I have to release that idea. Maybe it’s because I don’t know if I’ll like the way I am later?”
The new track will likely appear on Lana, SZA’s deluxe version ofSOS. Her sophomore album earned her nine Grammy nods, winning three of the nominations including Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, Best Progressive R&B Album, and Best R&B Song.
AlthoughSOS released in December 2022, it continued to dominate well into last year and featured at the top ofRolling Stone’s list of theBest Albums of 2023.
She recently featured in Drake’s self-directed music video “Rich Baby Daddy” on Valentine’s Day alongside Sexyy Red, and is set to headline the 2024Osheaga Festival, returning to Montreal this August with Green Day andNoah Kahan. This summer, the “Snooze” singer is also leading the charge at Governors BallMusic Festival in June, together withPost Malone and The Killers.
