Added on December 26, 2024 inEntertainment News Cards

Have you ever found yourself lost in the depths of a song, clutching at the chaotic emotions of life like you’re trying to catch smoke with your bare hands? Well, that’s precisely the vibe SZA brings with her latest collaboration, “Chill Baby,” featuring none other than Lil Yachty. This track, a standout on the deluxe edition of her album SOS: Lana, is not just another tune—it’s a poetic dive into the tumultuous waters of self-discovery and inner peace, which we all desperately crave. In an era where we’re inundated with noise, SZA dares us to confront our fears and let go of the baggage we carry. The production? It’s got that lush chillwave sweetness that feels like a warm blanket on a rainy day.

And let’s not forget, this release isn’t flying solo; it’s part of an album that boasts an impressive lineup of contributors, including the ever-resonant Kendrick Lamar. With all this musical magic swirling around, you’ve got to wonder—are we entering a golden age of collaborations, or is it just the Spotify algorithms working their mysterious charm? Grab a seat as we unravel the layers of “Chill Baby” and explore what makes this duet a must-listen!

As promised by SZA and Lil Yachty on separate occasions, their collaboration, “Chill Baby,” highlights the deluxe version of SZA’s latest album, SOS: Lana. Lil Yachty, who produced the track along with producers Sad Pony, Cade, Calvin Dickinson, iseeyou and Julian Fried, revealed the song during an interview, while SZA spoke on the track with Lizzo and Kai Cenat at his livestream marathon in November. In her song, SZA masterfully captures the chaos of life and the pursuit of inner peace. She boldly confronts the challenge of letting go of her fears, all while delivering her message over the chillwave production.

The deluxe edition includes an exciting roster of collaborators. Kendrick Lamar features on the track “30 for 30,” continuing the pair’s artistic synergy after SZA appeared on two songs from his recent GNX album. The project also showcases production by Benny Blanco on select tracks, while key contributors from SOS, such as Michael Uzowuru, ThankGod4Cody, Rob Bisel, and Carter Lang, return to craft the album’s sonic landscape. With her upcoming stadium tour alongside Kendrick Lamar, the timing for new material feels perfect. SZA has been performing tirelessly in support of SOS since its initial release two years ago.

“Chill Baby” marks the second collaboration between SZA and Lil Yachty after collaborating with Flo Milli on “Never Lose.” The March track features Wiz Khalifa and Cardi B. SZA and Kendrick Lamar hit the road in April on the Grand National Tour. It supports Lamar’s new album GNX, which features chart-topping tracks “squabble up,” “luther,” and “tv off.”

“Chill Baby” – SZA

Official Lyrics:

I’ve been in and out of town, lies manifesting
Relyin’ on the strategy to end up here
What don’t kill you make you strong, that’s a law to keep you going
Dеfyin’ gravity to face my fears
A remindеr that’s on God, a reminder that I can’t stop shit
