Snooze

## SnoozeSong by SZA

"**Snooze**" (also known as "**Main One**") is the eighth track from SZA's sophomore album *SOS*. It was released through Top Dawg and RCA on December 9, 2022.

It was sent to rhythmic contemporary and urban contemporary radio as the sixth single from the album on April 25, 2023. SZA wrote the song with producers Babyface, The Rascals, and BLK. The song peaked at number ten on the *Billboard* Hot 100 becoming SZA's eighth top ten single, and topped the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay and Rhythmic charts.

In the song, SZA is trying to be in the moment with a significant other. In the bridge, SZA is longing to be loved by this person, and be their number one.

## Background

SZA released her debut studio album, *Ctrl*, in 2017. Primarily an R&B album that deals with themes like heartbreak, it received widespread acclaim for SZA's vocals and the eclectic musical style, as well as the emotional impact and confessional nature of its songwriting. The album brought SZA to mainstream fame, and critics credit it with establishing her status as a major figure in contemporary pop and R&B music and pushing the boundaries of the R&B genre. Her next studio album was therefore highly anticipated, and she alluded to its completion as early as August 2019 during an interview with DJ Kerwin Frost.

From April to May 2022, SZA told media outlets that she had recently finished the album in Hawaii and said that it was coming soon. Wanting to experiment with genres she had not yet incorporated in her discography, she envisioned it to be an amalgamation of various disparate musical styles, or in her words, "a little bit of everything". Apart from the "traditional" R&B that had been a staple of SZA's past works, many tracks had a balladic, soft, or heartfelt sound.

## Lyrics

**[Intro]**

Ooh

I think I know

**[Verse 1]**

I'll touch that fire for you

I do that three, four times again, I testify for you

I told that lie, I'd kill that bitch

I do what all of them around you scared to do, I'm not

Long as you juggin' out here for me, I got it

Mobbin', schemin', lootin', hide your bodies

Long as you dreamin' 'bout me, ain't no problem

I don't got nobody, just with you right now

Tell the truth, I look better under you

**[Chorus]**

I can't lose when I'm with you

How can I snooze and miss the moment?

You just too important

Nobody do body like you do

I can't lose when I'm with you

I can't just snooze and miss the moment

You just too important

Nobody do body like you do, you do

**[Verse 2]**

In a droptop ride with you, I feel like Scarface (Scarface)

Like that white bitch with the bob, I'll be your main one (Your main one)

Let's take this argument back up to my place (My place)

Sex remind you I'm nonviolent, I'm your day one (Day one)

We ain't have shit yet, it was magic, yeah

Smash and grab shit, yeah

Nasty habits take a hold when you not here

Ain't a home when you not here

Hard to grow when you not here, I'm sayin'

**[Chorus]**

I can't lose when I'm with you

How can I snooze and miss the moment?

You just too important

Nobody do body like you do

I can't lose when I'm with you

How can I snooze and miss the moment?

You just too important

Nobody do body like you do, you do

**[Bridge]**

Main one ridin'

How you frontin' on me and I'm the main one tryin'?

How you blame it on me and you the main one lyin'?

How you threatenin' to leave and I'm the main one cryin'?

Just tryna be your everything

Main one ridin'

How you frontin' on me and I'm the main one tryin'?

How you blame it on me and you the main one lyin'?

How you threatenin' to leave and I'm the main one cryin'?

**[Chorus]**

I can't lose when I'm with you (Like you, like you)

How can I snooze and miss the moment? (Like you)

You just too important

Nobody do body like you do

I can't lose when I'm with you (Like you)

How can I snooze and miss the moment? (Like you)

You just too important

Nobody do body like you do, you do

**[Outro]**

Nah, nah, nah, nah

I think I know, woah

See, no, I can't lose, oh

I think I know, oh
