American singer-songwriter SZA has released two studio albums, three extended plays (EPs), one live album, and 44 singles (11 of which as a featured artist). SZA debuted with her self-released EP See.SZA.Run in 2012, followed by the 2013 EP S , gaining the attention of the independent record label Top Dawg Entertainment. She signed to Top Dawg as the label's first woman artist in 2013 [1] and released her third EP, Z , a year later. After Z, she began work on her debut studio album, Ctrl (2017), which debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200, peaked at number two on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, and has charted for more than five subsequent years. [2] The album, alongside its Billboard Hot 100 top-40 singles "Love Galore" and "The Weekend", earned her three of her first five Grammy nominations, in 2018. [3] All singles from Ctrl have been certified platinum or higher by the Recording Industry Association of America.
From 2017 to 2022, as SZA prepared for her second studio album's release, she appeared on film soundtracks and collaborated with several artists. Three collaborations were international top-10 songs: "What Lovers Do" by Maroon 5 in 2017, "All the Stars" with Kendrick Lamar from the Black Panther soundtrack in 2018, and "Kiss Me More" by Doja Cat in 2021. Furthermore, a deluxe edition of Ctrl was released in June 2022 to celebrate the album's five-year anniversary. [4] In December 2022, SZA's second studio album SOS was released, and it broke several records in R&B/hip-hop and overall charts. In the US, it opened with the biggest streaming week ever for an R&B album, spent 10 weeks atop the Billboard 200, [5] and ended 2023 as the country's third-biggest album with 3.172 million units sold. [6] Its multi-platinum fifth single, "Kill Bill", was the third best-selling song of 2023. [7] The same year, Rolling Stone ranked SOS and Ctrl as two of the 500 greatest albums of all time. [8] [9]
The next release after SOS is Lana , preceded by the top-10 single "Saturn" (2024). Lana was originally intended to be SOS's deluxe reissue, but it evolved into its own project that SZA said would consist of album outtakes and new, post-release material. [10] In response to the leaking of three songs intended for the reissue, SZA claimed that she would remake Lana all over again and told fans they could "keep" the leaks and outtakes; [11] she previously shared in interviews that if a song of hers were to be leaked, it became tarnished in her eyes and thus would never be released. [12] However, SZA changed her mentality and announced in March 2024 that worrying about what songs would leak was not worth it; hence, all leaks and outtakes from SOS will be officially released on the deluxe edition, with Lana an entirely new album.

Many of SZA's unreleased or unfinished songs have surfaced on the Internet, often being leaks by fans done to coax her into an official release. [179] [180] She has taken great offense to such actions, deeming fans who do so selfish and thieves. [181] In an interview with Variety , she stated that her songs, when still in an unfinished or a "less-than-correct" state, become "ruined" if published online without her permission. According to her, they therefore are unworthy of an official release and she will not be "bull[ied] into dropping music". [12] [182] However, on March 27, 2024, in response to the leaking of three of her unreleased songs intended for SOS, SZA eventually admitted keeping track of and worrying about leaks was draining and decided officially releasing those leaks was better for her and her fans. [13]

"Comethru" | Back in 2018, several songs, some featuring Kendrick Lamar, appeared on the streaming service Spotify under the name Sister Solana, with Lamar credited as King Kenny. The release was called Comethru and consisted of eight outtakes, six of which were solo tracks. SZA said its leaking was "creative and scary". [183] [184] Her manager and label's president, Punch, clarified the songs were "stolen", [185] and the songs were quickly removed from streaming. [184] |
