SZA Reveals Surprising Celebrity Crush in New Album 'Lana'
SZA's latest album, "Lana," released on December 20, 2024, surprises fans with a revelation. The singer expresses her feelings for none other than Martin Scorsese, instead of any of the typical celebrity crushes. In the song "Scorsese Baby Daddy," SZA shares vivid lyrics that highlight her unique admiration for the iconic filmmaker, PEOPLE reported.
In this unexpected homage to the 85-year-old director, SZA's lyrics convey a playful yet deep connection. With lines like, "I rolled up all my problems / And then I smoked about it," SZA intertwines personal experiences with her affection for Scorsese. The song reflects a playful tone and alludes to the drama often seen in Scorsese's films, creating a fusion of her reality with cinematic fantasy.
SZA creatively imagines herself in scenarios reminiscent of Scorsese’s renowned films, such as "Goodfellas" and "Taxi Driver." Throughout the track, she references rich themes of passion and complexity. The lyrics further explore her reflections on femininity, with statements like, "One day, I'll understand all that it takes to be a lady."
Her fun take on Scorsese’s reputation seamlessly blends personal and filmic narratives. This fusion adds a layer of intrigue and reveals SZA's admiration beyond typical relationships.
Listeners have shared their excitement and curiosity about SZA's choice for a crush. Many fans eagerly anticipate Scorsese's response to the song. One listener expressed their eagerness, saying, "I need Martin Scorsese to listen and react to Scorsese Baby Daddy right NOW," on social media.
Additional fan comments demonstrate the track’s impact. Phrases like "Best track title ever," highlight the catchy nature of the song. Others shared their emotional reactions, indicating how the music resonates with them.
Despite her bold tribute to Scorsese, SZA is known for keeping her love life largely private. Her romantic history includes a brief relationship with rapper Drake, confirmed by SZA in 2020.
She dated her ex-fiancé for 11 years after meeting him in high school, revealing deeper insights about her personal experiences in her music. In an October 2023 Rolling Stone interview, SZA spoke candidly about the relationship and how her past inspired many songs on her album, "SOS."
In recent interviews, SZA addressed her ex-fiancé and how their breakup influenced her artistry. She recalled a request for less discussion about their relationship. In her interview with "British Vogue" in November, SZA stated, "I can’t even spiel about my experience? I’m in jail!" This remark highlights her struggle to balance personal stories with public expectations.
With both heartfelt fan tributes and personal narratives, SZA continues to create impactful music that resonates with listeners. Each lyric not only adds value to her career but presents a well-rounded understanding of her journey as an artist.
