AFTER a five-year hiatus, SZA dropped a 23-track album called SOS.
The album features a song called Kill Bill, which has captured the attention of listeners everywhere, who want to know what the lyrics mean.
What are the lyrics to Kill Bill about?
Kill Bill isn’t explicitly linked to the Quentin Tarantino film by the same name, but SZA hints at a similar plotline throughout the song.
The song follows SZA through her grief over losing an ex-lover to a new woman, which seems to have led to her spinning out of control.
In the plot of Kill Bill Volume 1, the female lead embarks on a journey to kill her ex.
SZA’s chorus to the song is:
“I might kill my ex, not the best idea
His new girlfriend’s next, how’d I get here?
I might kill my ex, I still love him though
Rather be in jail than alone”
When did SZA release her album, SOS?
SOS, SZA’s sophomore album, was released on December 9, 2022.
She had already released three singles from the album, Shirt, I Hate U, and Good Days.
The album features A-list collaborations, including Don Toliver, Phoebe Bridgers, Travis Scott, and Ol’ Dirty Bastard.
