"This next song, I wrote about a party that I went to for a boy … I was really excited [and] it turns out he brought a girl to the party… So, basically, I went. I did not ever see him for the entire party [and] I smoked all [my] weed by myself…And had a fantastic time."
The song was first previewed on the 3rd of December, 2015, as the backing track for the Ford Focus campaign that featured Zoë Kravitz and SZA.
The music video was released June 20, 2017 and included a cameo from Drew Barrymore herself.
The song is heavily inspired by 90’s movies featuring Drew Barrymore, namely Never Been Kissed and Poison Ivy.
Speaking at an NYC show SZA said:
"I just imagine this being the soundtrack to one of those movies. Cue Freddie Prinze, Jr."
Drew Barrymore

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You came with your new friends
And her mom jeans and her new Vans
And she's perfect and I hate it, oh so glad you made it
I'm so glad you could come by
Somebody get the tacos, somebody spark the blunt
Let's start the Narcos off at episode one
(Bring the gin) Got the juice (bring the sin) got that too
Am I
Warm enough for ya outside baby, yeah
(Tell me that it's warm enough here for ya)
Is it warm enough for ya inside me, me, me, me?
Warm enough for ya outside baby, yeah
(Tell me that it's warm enough here for ya)
Warm enough outside, inside me, me, me, me
I get so lonely, I forget what I'm worth
We get so lonely, we pretend that this works
I'm so ashamed of myself think I need therapy-y-y-y
I'm sorry I'm not more attractive
I'm sorry I'm not more ladylike
I'm sorry I don't shave my legs at night
I'm sorry I'm not your baby mama
I'm sorry you got karma comin' to you
Collect and soak in it right
Warm enough for ya outside baby, yeah
(Tell me that it's warm enough here for ya)
Is it warm enough for ya inside me, me, me, me?
Warm enough for ya outside baby, yeah
(Tell me that it's warm enough here for ya)
Warm enough outside, inside me, me, me, me
Sorry, I just need to see you
I'm sorry I'm so clingy I don't me to be a lot
Do you really wanna love me down like you say you do?
Give it to me like you say you do?
'Cause it's hard enough you got to treat me like this
Lonely enough to let you treat me like this
Do you really love me
Or just wanna love me down, down, down, down?
Warm enough for ya outside baby, yeah
(Tell me that it's warm enough here for ya)
Warm enough for ya inside me, me, me, me?
Warm enough for ya outside baby, yeah
(Tell me that it's warm enough here for ya)
Warm enough outside, inside me, me, me, me
Warm enough outside, inside
Warm enough outside, inside me-me-me-me, me-me-me
Ohh-whoa, is it warm enough outside, inside?
The song "Drew Barrymore" by sZa expresses the insecurity and loneliness felt by the singer, as she navigates the complexities of relationships with others. The first verse begins with the singer struggling to accept that a party is over, and feeling envious of a new acquaintance who appears to be perfect. The chorus then addresses the theme of warmth, both literally and figuratively. The singer asks if it is warm enough outside, and then turns the question inward, wondering if she is warm enough inside herself for another person to love her.
The second verse continues the theme of loneliness, as the singer expresses shame about herself and apologizes for not meeting others' expectations. She expresses a desire to be loved, but questions whether the love she receives is genuine. The bridge then features the singer apologizing for being too clingy and asking if her partner really loves her.
Overall, the song is a raw exploration of the struggles of self-acceptance and finding genuine connections with others. The lyrics are vulnerable and introspective, making it a relatable and emotional track for many listeners.
