SZA has ramped up excitement for the deluxe version of SOS after releasing a racy teaser video.
With a caption that said: “Never fight over community D,” the TDE singer posted a video on Instagram on Tuesday (March 12) which included a snippet of a new song.

The accompanying visuals showed her frolicking around a room in a tent while wearing nothing but a red bikini.
The lyrics are equally as racy as SZA sings: “Peel it back, lemme see inside/ Lick the pussy when we feelin’ sumn/ Shit feels so different when it’s prime time/ When it’s up front, they reportin’ live.”
SZA has been teasing an expansion of her blockbuster sophomore album for a while.
Late last year, she posted a number of potential covers for the deluxe version, titled Lana, and suggested the project would drop before Christmas but it never did.

She also spoke about the release with Billboard, saying: “After I do the deluxe, I’m hoping to be able to accept that this chapter is done. I’m looking forward to actually feeling proud of myself and not just smiling and nodding at accolades but really feeling it internally and knowing that I’m good enough.”
She added: “I guess I need to stop trying to figure out what it means and start realizing and living in what it is.”

SZA also released a new song near the end of February which had fans thinking the deluxe was imminent.
She released five versions of the song “Saturn” which had earlier been previewed at the 2024 Grammy Awards.
SZA had also previously promised that the deluxe would be out in the fall but that also failed to come to fruition.
During a performance in Brooklyn in September, the New Jersey native told fans: “The deluxe is a whole ’nother album. It’s called Lana. It’s seven to 10 songs and it’ll be out this fall.”

SZA also recently celebrated the one year anniversary of the release of SOS, which marked her first No. 1 album and has since been certified triple platinum.
“A day late but Happy 1 year anniversary to an album that is ACTIVELY CHANGING MY LIFE .. like rn currently changing my life,” she wrote on Instagram.

“I haven’t processed this year AT ALL cause it’s still happening .. this is beyond my wildest dreams. I never imagined we’d accomplish a fraction of the accolades that came from this .. it often doesn’t feel real and it’s funny cause I swore I’d know what to do if it ever happened. turns out I froze.”
She added: “I know the perils of drinking the koolaid so I won’t dabble in that .. but I have to express the immense GRATITUDE I have for every person that made this possible. Every person that’s been apart of this journey. Thank you to GOD and to my incredible TEAM and My FAMILY. My ancestors.
