SZA Releases Ben Stiller–Starring Video for New Song “Drive”: Watch

Two years after her hit second studio album SOS, SZA has revealed new tracks with the deluxe version, titled Lana. But the "Snooze" singer has put in the work since coming onto the scene over a decade ago, collecting collaborations with Rihanna, Travis Scott, Kendrick Lamar, Doja Cat and more during her rise to hitmaker status.

SOS spent ten weeks atop the Billboard 200, and "Kill Bill" became her first No. 1 on the Hot 100. The four-time Grammy winner began teasing Lana as early as last year, revealing a set of covers in December 2023. However, she didn't officially announce the release date until December 2024, in conjunction with a music video featuring Ben Stiller.

As she releases the deluxe version of her SOS album and prepares for her Grand National Tour with Lamar, see photos of SZA from 2013 to now.

In April 2014, she dropped her second EP in her “SZA” trilogy, Z. Later that year, she opened for Coldplay and Jhené Aiko on their tours.

“I didn’t expect people to like my music or to take to it the way they have,” she told Billboard in an interview that year. “Everything blew up. It’s different now. I feel like I owe people more.”

Initially slated to drop the final installment of her “SZA” trilogy, A, in 2015, SZA later scrapped the EP and began working on her debut album. She provided background vocals for Lamar’s Grammy-winning album To Pimp a Butterfly and featured on songs by Jay Rock, Wale and DRAM.
