SZA on Her Dating Struggles
In the same breath of vulnerability, SZA also shared her thoughts on romance in a Chicken Shop Date interview. Host Amanda Dimoldenberg asked her about her struggles with dating, particularly getting second dates. “I feel like I can catch ’em, but I cannot keep ’em,” she admitted. “They get with me and they realize I’m fucking weird, and then it’s just like, ‘Aight.’”
SZA went on to describe the contrast between her external persona and her quirky, unconventional interests, revealing that her idea of a perfect relationship is far from conventional. “I wanna swim in the swamp and I wanna, like, collect methane gas with my man. That’s my type of shit.”
SZA’s Music Career Originated from a Desire to Prove a Point
In a candid Apple Music interview with Zane Lowe, SZA shared the roots of her music career, revealing it was driven by a desire to prove herself to her ex-fiancé. Despite having an engaged relationship, she felt inadequate and co-dependent, unsure of her own value in comparison to his accomplished past partners. “When I started making music, it was to my ex-fiancé because he was paying for everything – my food, my clothes, where I lived. And he was so talented… his ex girlfriends were all lawyers and business women and artists and all these things… And I was a college dropout, still bartending at the strip club.”
The insecurity led her to seek validation through music, which unexpectedly turned into her strength and career. “I felt like I lacked value. So when I started trying to make music, it was this thing that I didn’t have to try at and I was randomly good at.” This personal journey helped shape her unique voice and the vulnerability in her music, which resonates with millions today.
