Revealing planned collaborations with the likes of Justin Timberlake, Jack Antonoff, Brockhampton, and Post Malone, she said that the release date was "soon as fuck" and she might "start dropping loosies", though there was no explicit date announced. SZA alluded to potentially releasing her second album as early as August 2019 during an interview with DJ Kerwin Frost. The album brought SZA to mainstream fame, and critics credit it with establishing her status as a major figure in contemporary pop and R&B music and pushing the boundaries of the R&B genre. Primarily an R&B album that deals with themes like heartbreak, Ctrl was widely acclaimed by critics for its vocal performances and eclectic musical style, as well as the relatability, emotional impact, and confessional nature of its songwriting. SZA released her debut studio album, Ctrl, in 2017. The album spent ten non-consecutive weeks atop the chart, making it the longest-running number-one female album of the decade and the first R&B album to spend its first seven weeks atop the chart since Whitney Houston's Whitney (1987). The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200-SZA's first to do so-and broke the record for the largest streaming week for an R&B album in the US. To promote the album, SZA embarked on a North American and European arena tour, the SOS Tour, from February to October 2023. Upon release, SOS received widespread critical acclaim for its eclectic sound and SZA's vocal delivery several media publications ranked it as one of the best albums of 2022. The fifth, " Kill Bill", was SZA's first song to top the chart. The first two peaked within the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100, as did the fourth single " Nobody Gets Me". The album was preceded by three singles-" Good Days", " I Hate U", and " Shirt". It serves as the follow-up to SZA's previous album Ctrl (2017). SZA worked with a variety of record producers and songwriters such as Babyface, Jeff Bhasker, Benny Blanco, Rodney Jerkins, DJ Dahi, Gabriel Hardeman, Ant Clemons and Lizzo. The album features guest appearances from Don Toliver, Phoebe Bridgers, Travis Scott, and the late Ol' Dirty Bastard. It was released through Top Dawg Entertainment and RCA Records on December 9, 2022. SOS is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter SZA.
