Anything
SZA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe I should kill my inhibition
Maybe I'll be perfect in a new dimension

Maybe I should pray a little harder
Or work a little smarter
This time, baby, promise I have learned my lesson

Ooh, ooh
Down for the ride, down for the ride
You could take me anywhere
Do-do-do, down for the ride, down for the ride
You could take me anywhere
I hope you will, I hope you will, I hope you will

Keepin' up is hard to do
Even harder feeling heavy, steady chasin' you
Beep beep, why are you lookin' around, you lonely?
I feel you comin' down like honey
Do-do you even know I'm alive?
Do-do you even know I, I

Maybe I should pray a little harder
Or work a little smarter
This time, baby, promise I have learned my lesson

Ooh, ooh
Down for the ride, down for the ride
You could take me anywhere
Do-do-do, down for the ride, down for the ride
You could take me anywhere
I hope you will, I hope you will, I hope you will

Do-do you even know I'm alive?
Do-do you even know I, I
Do-do you even know I'm alive?
Do-do you even know I, I
Do-do you even know I'm alive?
Do-do you even know I, I
Do-do you even know I'm alive?
Do-do you even know I, I
Do-do you even know I'm alive?
Do-do you even know I, I
Do-do you even know I'm alive?
Do-do you even know I, I




Do you know I'm alive?
Do you even know?

Overall Meaning

In SZA's song "Anything," the lyrics depict a plea for love and acceptance from the person she desires. She seems to be holding herself back due to her own self-doubt and insecurity, as she suggests that killing her inhibition could make her "perfect in a new dimension." She expresses her willingness to follow her love interest "anywhere" and her hope that they will reciprocate her feelings.


The lines "keepin' up is hard to do, even harder feeling heavy, steady chasin' you" seem to imply that she is struggling to keep up with the other person's pace and struggling with the weight of her feelings. The repetition of "do you even know I'm alive?" emphasizes her fear of being overlooked or forgotten, and her desire to be seen and loved.


Overall, the song conveys a sense of vulnerability and the fear of not being enough for the person she desires. The lyrics suggest a longing for acceptance and a need for reassurance, as she tries to find ways to be "perfect" and win them over.
