Which SZA 'SOS' Song Are You, According To Your Zodiac Sign?
Are you a “Kill Bill” or a “Ghost in the Machine?”
R&B queen SZA has just dropped her long-awaited fifth album, S.O.S. and we’re already crying over the ex we thought we didn’t miss anymore.
The Missouri-born singer-songwriter knows how to tug at our heart strings with her carefully orchestrated melodies and bitingly accurate lyrics. The songstress is a master at bringing to light the unbearably universal feelings we hope to suppress, articulating our own thoughts, at times, better than we can. Tracks like ” “Shirt” and “Good Days,” which were released two years ago, have been widely circulated and listened to on repeat.
The action-packed music video for “Shirt” subtly sets the tone for the album, hinting at the musician’s struggle with romance and her fight to keep her head above water in the midst of a dizzying, whirlwind relationship. The Grammy award-winning artist’s new body of work features a whopping 23 songs that dive deep into her personal life, providing us with an auditory journey into our own feels. She spares no one, not even herself, from her sharp analysis of her love life and career. The LP also includes only four featured artists, but each spans across genres as Don Toliver, Phoebe Bridgers, Ol’ Dirty Bastard and Travis Scott, make appearances, adding to S.O.S.’ lyrical nuance and strength.
From “Kill Bill” to “Special,” SZA’s new album cuts deep and somehow, relates to all of our experiences. We’ve taken an astrological approach to the album’s track list and identified which song matches each zodiac sign.
Continue scrolling to discover which S.O.S. song you are, according to your sign.
Aries: “Kill Bill”
Ruled by the warrior planet Mars, Aries is absolutely the sign most likely to enact revenge on their ex partner, especially if there is love lost there. Seeing someone you cared for date another person can feel like a betrayal and as a fire sign, Aries are not one to hold back their true feelings or dial back their temper once they’re hurt. “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,” says it all.
Taurus: “Forgiveless”
The bull of the twelve zodiac may forgive someone for the sake of maintaining their own peace of mind, but best believe, they will never forget once you’ve done them wrong. Collaborating with rap legend Ol’ Dirty Bastard, SZA makes it clear that she is unapologetic about cutting people off as she sings, “I don’t mind burnin’ bridges that my enemies, centipedes.”
Gemini: “Good Days”
The multi-faceted sign is known for experiencing an array of moods within the span of hours and while SZA is attempting to keep a positive mindset on the infectious, TikTok viral track “Good Days,” she admits it is not easy as she emotes, “Good day in my mind, safe to step out/Get some air now, let you edge out/Too soon, I spoke/You be heavy in my mind, can you get the heck out?” The notorious over-thinkers would benefit from being on some “empty mind sh–t.”
Cancer: “Open Arms”
The water sign is known for their loving disposition and while the subject of “Open Arms” seems to be a complicated relationship, SZA can’t help, but to give it her all, even if it drains her. “I know, oh, this is bad/But, please, put a leash on my anyway/Who needs self-esteem anyway?/I hate myself to make you stay/Push me away, I’ll be right here.”
Leo: “Conceited”
The zodiac’s lion is, of course, a perfect match for “Conceited” as the prideful sign’s self-confidence can sometimes err on the side of being conceited, respectfully. SZA has no qualms about putting herself first and staying in her bag as she sings, “I got everything that I need and I want more/I can’t take my foot of they neck, it’s an encore/I got everything and I’m livin’ all for revenge.” Heard that.
Virgo: “Seek & Destroy”
While the pragmatic sign may not admit to being as emotional as SZA’s lyrics, Virgos can definitely relate to leaving someone who does not recognize their worth. While SZA wanted to make it work, she was “push[ed] past her capacity” and is now better off without the extra baggage. Leave it to Virgos to find the silver lining in a breakup. “Now that I’ve ruined everything, I cannot complain/Now that I’ve ruined everything, I’m so f–in’ free/Now that I’ve ruined everything, keep it all for me/Now that I’ve ruined everything, space is all I need.”
Libra: “Love Language”
A Libra in love is a force to be reckoned with as the sign is loyal to a fault, even when the relationship may not be the healthiest. The air sign is ruled by Venus, the planet of all things romance and is also represented by balancing scales, indicating their desire to mediate and make things work. This leads them to looking at relationships through rose-colored glasses. “Nobody put that purpose in me like you do, still/Nobody get that work up out me like you do/Nobody get the truth up out me quite like you/You the definition of my right hand/Never mind ridin’ backseat when you lead me.”
Scorpio: “Low”
“Low” is a perfect match for the zodiac’s resident enigma. As mysterious as Scorpios are, it makes sense that they would want to keep their business to themselves, leaving everyone guessing what they’re up to. Their intense spirits naturally draw people in, despite their best efforts to avoid intimacy. “Low” portrays a tense failed relationship where each party is trying to get back at each other, demonstrating how low they will go to prove a point. “But these b–ches in my business got me all cho-chosin’ violence/If you see me out in public, you don’t know me, keep it silent/In the bedroom, I be screamin’, but outside I keep it quiet.”
Sagittarius: “Shirt”
The charismatic and magnetic Sagittarius has a habit of losing themselves in love. While they’re incredibly independent, once they’re hooked, it’s hard for them to let go. SZA is struggling with going back to her ex for validation as she’s feeling untethered. “Still stressin’ perfection/Let you all in my mental/Got me lookin’ too desperate/Damn (You ain’t deserve).”
Capricorn: “Smokin On My Ex Pack”
The eleventh song on SZA’ S.O.S. is Capricorn energy to a T. The ambitious goat of the zodiac is not one to waste their time, crying over spilt milk, fake friends or lame exes. “Them “ho” accusations weak/Them “b-tch” accusations true/You hatin’ from nosebleeds, I wish you well.”
Aquarius: “Gone Girl”
While Aquarians are known for being independent thinkers, that doesn’t mean they can’t be influenced by love’s strong pull. When faced with the demise of a relationship, the idealistic Aquarius will disappear into themselves to escape the pain, attempting to focus on their self-growth rather than revisiting traumatic memories, even when all they want to do is fixate on past events as a means of righting their wrongs. ”
Pisces: “Ghost in the Machine”
To say Pisces are emotional would be an understatement. The dreamy and intuitive sign is sensitive and can feel everything a little too deeply. This makes them wonderful friends and partners, but their heightened emotions can often work to their disadvantage, causing a bit of inner turmoil and chaos. Pisces are lovers by nature and long for the safety and security of a sincere romance, but their intense desires can have them looking in the wrong places. “Can you distract me from all the disaster?/Can you touch on me and not call me after?/Can you hate on me and mask it with laughter?/Can you lead me to the ark? What’s the password?”
