The ‘SOS’ songstress shares an emotional moment, recalling tough times during quarantine
SZA, the superstar behind the hit album SOS, took a moment to reflect on her journey after a fan shared an old video from the early days of the pandemic. In the clip, the singer quarantines at her childhood home in New Jersey, happily sharing some cool items she discovered in her mom’s closet.
After retweeting the nostalgic moment, SZA responded with an emotional message about her mental health struggles during that time. “Covid was hard … my granny had just died .. I was hella depressed n masking,” she wrote. “Not eating. Over working out. but I always had my childhood home to n get lost. Still do. Grateful to be in a much better mental space now. [heart emoji] s/o to those days tho.”
While those challenging moments seem far behind her, SZA’s career thrives. Her 2022 album SOS recently re-entered the top of the charts following the release of its deluxe edition, Lana, on December 20. In just one week, the project has moved 178,000 equivalent units, solidifying SZA’s place as one of the most significant artists today.
