SZA Announces Release of Her New Single ‘Shirt’
Sza finally announced her long-awaited new single, “Shirt,” after the song accidentally leaked on Spotify and then quickly removed.
Sza fans have been awaiting the release of “Shirt” for over a year after Sza gave fans a teaser at the end of her music video for “Good Days,” which premiered in March of 2021. She also performed the song on a live-streamed pre-recorded by one of the most well-known, best music blogs, Stereogum, in July 2021. Unfortunately, her new single “Shirt” was mistakenly released on Spotify last week and disappeared shortly after. This error sent fans in a frenzy, yearning for the song’s official release.

SZA is a popular artist because of her angelic voice and her music’s spin on the male-dominated R&B genre. Her lyrics tackle real-life issues and struggles she has encountered as a young black woman. Her songs “20 Something” and “Anything” are great examples of the internal struggles of being a minority.
