Her debut album, CTRL was released on June 9, 2017 through Top Dawg Entertainment and RCA Records. The album features guest appearances from Travis Scott, Kendrick Lamar, James Fauntleroy, and Isaiah Rashad. Upon release, CTRL was a massive critical and commercial success, and catapulted SZA into fame. The record debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200. The album then received acclaim from music critics, many praised its cohesiveness and production, as well as SZA's vocal delivery. In 2018, CTRL received 4 Grammy nominations. She was then nominated Best New Artist. The album was ranked at 472 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list, her first to do so.
After a 5 year hiatus from music, SZA released her second studio album, SOS on December 9, 2022 through Top Dawg Entertainment and RCA Records.The album features guest appearances from Don Toliver, Phoebe Bridgers, Travis Scott, and the late Ol' Dirty Bastard. Six singles were released between 2020 and 2023 to promote SOS, five were top-ten hits on the US Billboard Hot 100. The fifth, "Kill Bill", was SZA's first song to hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, SZA's first to do so, and also broke the record for the largest streaming week for an R&B album in the US alone. Several media publications ranked it as one of the best albums of 2022 and 2023. In 2023, it was ranked number 351 in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, joining her debut album CTRL on the list.
To continue to promote the album, SZA had embarked on a North American, European, and Australian arena tour, the SOS Tour, from February 2023 to April 2024.
At the 66th Annual Grammy Awards, the album and its tracks received a total of nine nominations, including Album of the Year, and won Best Progressive R&B Album. The record was a total commercial success.

Shattered Ring
SZA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Slowly re-thinking if current disguise deceives me
The shattered ring
I can see it in your eyes
Ready or not, loaded heart with a dagger
Aim for your sweet spot
I know you'd rather be scared of
Now that I'm here
I know you'd rather
Giddy up Goldilocks, you took too long to save me
Bumpin' that Jadakiss is dangerous for sanity
Open my candy box, for you sir, sugar daddy
Look at how drunk we are, spent the night, dancing
(Spent the night, dancing)
Ready or not, loaded heart with a dagger
Aim for your sweet spot
I know you'd rather be scared of
I know you'd rather just disappear
Now that I'm here
I know you'd rather
Ready or not
Take me up with you
Take me up with you
In your hot love balloon
Take me up, take me up
I wanna live in your (I wanna live in your)
Hot, love balloon (hot love balloon)
Ready or not
Loaded heart with a dagger
Aim for your sweet spot
I know you'd rather be scared of
I know you'd rather just disappear
Now that I'm here
I know you'd rather (I know you'd rather)
(I know you'd rather, I know you'd)
(I know you'd rather, I know you'd rather)
Disappear
The lyrics to SZA's song "Shattered Ring" are open to interpretation, but they seem to convey a feeling of uncertainty and contemplation. The opening lines suggest that the singer is thinking about their current identity and whether it is truthful or just a facade. The "shattered ring" mentioned could symbolize a broken promise or relationship, or it could be a metaphor for personal identity. The singer sees this uncertainty reflected in someone else's eyes.
The next lines imply that the singer is armed and dangerous in some way - "loaded heart with a dagger" - and ready to strike at someone's "sweet spot." This imagery may be figurative, expressing the singer's emotional state, or it could be literal. The chorus repeats twice, emphasizing the idea that the singer knows the other person would rather disappear than confront their feelings.
Line by Line Meaning
It's up for discussion, up for reprise
The matter is open to discussion and can be revisited
Slowly re-thinking if current disguise deceives me
Gradually reconsidering if the current deception is misleading
The shattered ring
The broken bond between two entities
I can see it in your eyes
I can perceive the distress in your eyes
Ready or not, loaded heart with a dagger
Whether you are prepared or not, my heart is armed with a weapon
Aim for your sweet spot
Targeting your vulnerable point
I know you'd rather be scared of
I am aware that you prefer feeling scared
I know you'd rather just disappear
I understand that you wish to vanish
Now that I'm here
Now that I am present
Giddy up Goldilocks, you took too long to save me
Hurry up and rescue me, you took too much time
Bumpin' that Jadakiss is dangerous for sanity
Listening to Jadakiss's music could be detrimental to one's mental health
Open my candy box, for you sir, sugar daddy
Take a peek inside my heart, my sweet benefactor
Look at how drunk we are, spent the night, dancing
Observe how intoxicated we are, how we danced through the night
Take me up with you, in your hot love balloon
Take me with you in your passionate, exciting journey
Ready or not, loaded heart with a dagger
Whether you are prepared or not, my heart is armed with a weapon
I know you'd rather be scared of
I am aware that you prefer feeling scared
I know you'd rather just disappear
I understand that you wish to vanish
Now that I'm here, I know you'd rather
Now that I am present, I acknowledge that you would prefer something different
Take me up, take me up
Elevate me, carry me higher
I wanna live in your hot, love balloon
I want to exist in your passionate, delightful world
Disappear
Vanish
