SZA

The fifth track on SZA’s debut album, Ctrl is the most reminiscent of her previous EPs with a pop-disco sound.

She reflects about her insecurities on not maturing as quickly as her partner is. Prom season is usually the last big event before graduation for a high schooler, and SZA is too busy living in the moment that she forgets she has her future to look forward to.

This is also around the age when friends are growing apart and have decided where and what they’re doing with their lives, and a lot are trying to hold on to the people they’ve known, even though they’re growing up differently. The person SZA is talking to in the song seems to take everything, even change, to heart.
