The queen of emotional bops and poetic clapbacks, SZA, just dropped new music, and it’s a vibe, y’all! On Friday (December 21), the Grammy-winning singer released the deluxe version of her chart-topping album, now called SOS Deluxe: Lana. Spoiler alert: it’s juicy.
But hold on to your Spotify playlists, because the real tea is in the lyrics of one of her new tracks, “Scorsese Baby Daddy.” Yes, you read that right—Martin Scorsese, the 82-year-old godfather of cinematic grit, is officially SZA’s unexpected celebrity crush. Let that marinate for a second.
The Song That Made Everyone Go, “Huh?”
SZA gets real in her lyrics, crooning:
“I rolled up all my problems / And then I smoked about it / I could’ve called my mom up / I’d rather f–k about it / Addicted to the drama / Scorsese baby daddy.”
Sis didn’t just name-drop Martin Scorsese—she gave him a whole anthem. The energy? Cinematic chaos meets emotional thirst. Is SZA imagining herself in a Martin Scorsese-directed rom-com, or is she just manifesting a director’s cut of her love life? Either way, the internet’s collectively hollering.
Lights, Camera, Love Story?
The song dives into some Scorsese-style fantasies, complete with an edge of drama. While she doesn’t name-drop classics like Goodfellas or Taxi Driver, the vibe is clear—SZA dreams of being the main character in a film where mobsters sip espressos, argue about marinara sauce, and call her “tasty.”
Case in point:
“I would pretend to do my favorite man, he’d call me tasty / Furious lady, then I wonder if I could do, baby / One day, I’ll understand all that it takes to be a lady.”
Does SZA want to date Scorsese, star in one of his films, or just rock a fur coat while throwing baguettes at Leo DiCaprio? The answer: probably all three.
Twitter’s Reaction Is a Movie in Itself
Naturally, fans are spiraling. One user tweeted, “SZA thirsting over Martin Scorsese is the plot twist I didn’t know I needed this year.” Another chimed in, “SZA got me out here Googling ‘young Martin Scorsese pics.’ Send help.”
And honestly, we’re right there with them. While Scorsese probably didn’t see this coming (because, let’s face it, he’s busy editing Killers of the Flower Moon: Director’s Cut), we’d bet good money he’s secretly blushing somewhere in New York right now.
What’s Next?
With SOS Deluxe: Lana now out in the world, SZA has proven once again that she’s not just a musical genius—she’s a lyrical wild card. And if anyone can make an 82-year-old film director sound sexy, it’s her.
Somebody, please cast SZA in a Scorsese film ASAP. We need her to serve main-character energy in a mafia love triangle, stat.
