SZA joins Billboard to share the story of how 'Supermodel' is the only song she's never been able to alter to make better on this episode of 'How It Went Down.' Not even Pharrell could do it!

THIS is how music should be made! Not forced by labels. The artist should be able to accidentally come to a masterpiece like that. I love this album from start to finish.
SHE FREESTYLED THAT SONG!!! THE FUCK?! AMAZING!!!!!!
freestyle doesn’t mean saying random shit off the top your head all at once
I know. she's so talented!
tiny ikr that’s true talent
you're right. there's better artist out there and everyone has their own opinion of who is better but there's no denying her talent. I mean, to freestyle a song and have it become a masterpiece on your first attempt. Crazy talent.
OR you're just of another opinion, I listen to most of those artist that you name but I think it's unfair to say that just because someone doesn't share your taste in music they "don't know any better". People gravitate to different things.
There’s not one song I dislike on this album.... I have this album on repeat everyday 😭🙌🏽💖 I love her.
Victoria Espinoza ^^^
Meh
The only song that I don’t like is doves in the wind
i like every song too
Robert Alexander lmao why because she and kendrick say pussy a lot😂
Apart from garden and the weekend this has to one of the best songs off her album
The Weekend not even Top 5.
+Rihanna Navy, preach. My top 5: Broken Clocks Supermodel Garden Prom Pretty Little Birds No shade, but most of the people who's favorite song off the album is Love Galore or The Weekend most likely just found out about SZA when they heard those songs. Not to sound like a hipster but if you've been listening to SZA before this album then I feel like you can appreciate it more.
Gray I totally agree!!!
those are my faves!
I agree, both are great songs but far from the best, my top 5 is: Broken Clocks Garden Normal Girl Pretty Little Birds Supermodel
i use her music for meditation and daydreaming
M C It’s all just opinion. In my opinion her lyrics are more interesting than any of those artists you just listed, plus she has a very different sound than any of them (especially Gary Clark Jr? lol)
Music is subjective to be fair if you don’t like it move on
Yellow Synth You must like the instrumental of her songs then. Try listening to the acoustic guitar instrumental to her supermodel song you'll like it.
I use her song sobriety to calm some sometimes!
I love Her so much her album litteraly help me with depression 😭😭😭🦋
Cocoagoldeen Same!!!!
+Mischel Perez us
Me too ❤
U need a man
Cocoagoldeen keep fighting....stay golden
I love this queen!!! Supermodel still on repeat...
lol I see you outchea in the youtube world
hey boo!!! lol
On The Bright Side Same
I'm glad u didnt scrap it gurl!! That is my favourite song!! Bless
The Plug ikr that’s my everyday song
Namjoonnnnnnnn
crazy that my favorite song was made so easily
Hannah Schmitt that’s how most good songs are
This is so beautiful. How natural the beat came with her and her friend, and how she just spoke her mind and turned it into a beautiful song. I love it. I love you sza!
that's so crazy... that's easily one of my favorite songs on that album and it's so weird to think that it was the most organic and least planned
loved those little animations lol sza you're amazing
gray love your fragile avatar great album
Joseph Morales thanks. one of my all time favorite as well.
she is so beautiful
forgot your vegetables again Billy I see now go to your room and pray.
Bruh how did she freestyle that amazingness
Love Sza! And this song is so unique! It's futuristic and sounds old at the same time! Genius! Kudos to the animator who made this video 10000x more interesting too! Nice work!
Y'all sleeping on Pretty Little Birds tho #js🙄🙄
george dean facts
Shi ! I feel ya. Her music is helping me push through my freshman year of college right now. But how do you feel about 20 something and Wavy ft James Fauntleroy? They are short but the message is still there.
20 something is my second favorite next to the weekend.
Ikr the first time I listened to this when the beat dropped my heart dropped to but doves in the wind is better
I agree
easily the most heart-wrenching song on the whole album and to now know that she FREESTYLED IT sza is a blessing honestly. that whole album just gives me all these feelings !!!!!!!!!!
SZA is so sweet & fierce at the same time, I can't even. Give or take a couples years, and she'll be the new queen of R&B!
WIG!!! We have decided to stan forever
I can watch her talk all day 😻. Yo album is amazing SZA 😭
Does anyone remember that segment called, Distraction News, from H.B.O's Crashbox? That's what this editing is giving me. Adore SZA though!💕
De'Andre Burton Ioved that show 😭
Hmm..
I think she is beautiful inside and out and she is a very talented hard working woman I can't wait to get home from school so I can bingewatch all of her interviews and songs again haha
I love that song best on the album
M C What was the point of your comment? She never said SZA was the greatest, never said her album was perfection, didn't even compare her to any another artist. All she said was this was her favorite song on the album. Yet here you are hating up a god damn storm. The fuck is wrong with folks like you?
M C No one gives a flying fuck about what artist you enjoy. LITERALLY no one asked nor did anyone anoint you King Of Musical Opinions. I don't like country music you dont see me asking people on Blake Shelton videos why they listen to his garbage or telling them they should be listening to better artist because that would make me fucking crazy. I just dont watch his vids or listen to his music. You don't like SZA cool beans your more than entitled to hate her guts and I have no intentions of trying to change your mind but attacking her fans over their musical taste is nothing but a grand level of douchebaggery.
M C Your (I'm upset) This coming from someone who just couldn't bare letting someone else enjoy a song on an album. I think you may need the Lords blessing a bit more, you should def keep that for yourself.
M C Same to you my friend.
Wow. Thank you for keeping Supermodel and putting it out into the world, it's one of my favorite songs.
Knowing this just makes the feeling of the song so much better for me.
I love her music so much and I listen to this album everyday like how can u not??
I loooove this song. And the whole album
So all this time i was calling her “S.Z.A” lol.
Marko Knox same. Lol I read on wiki tho.
Same.. LOL until a few days ago..
Lacoreious I did the same
It’s my fave song on the album and one of my favorites of all time it’s so beautiful
theres drums at the end tho & i love that its at the end.... bc it would take away from it.. beautiful
Still cant get enough of it.
Bro, The edits were extra af...Like chill. Damn.
lol they fr were doing the most
i remember when she performed this at some NYC listening party in January and instantly fell in love with the track. Crazy how months went by and I still hadn’t heard the full song. I played the snippet so many times and each time the song got better and better. Ctrl was worth the wait and I’m so proud to see SZA flourishing. She deserved all the recognition she’s getting!!
I love her style so much an shes so beautiful An her music is sooo lit
Ctrl is a instant classic!!! im super excited about the weekend video dropping because I know her and Solange have something special and to make it better doves in the wind is also in the making😍😍😍😍
