The long-awaited SZA and Paramore collaboration is officially "in the works"
In a new quick-fire interview with Apple Music, SZA has confirmed that a collaboration with Paramore is in the works.
Alongside questions about her pre-stage rituals, and artists that she's enjoying listening to at the moment, Apply Music asked SZA about her plans to collaborate with Paramore, to which she replied: “Yeah! Soon, soon! It’s in the works.”
Last year, vocalist Hayley Williams spoke to Rolling Stone, and in a previously unreleased part of the interview, said herself and SZA have been wanting to collaborate for a long time.
“What I love about her voice is that she can easily slide around genre as well. She has plenty of songs throughout her catalog that feel very alternative to me and feel a little bit Strokes-y, in a way. She just has that thing," Williams said.
“She’s that person where I feel like we could write any type of song, and it would be cool,” she added. “I would love to hear her on something that we wrote that’s more alternative-leaning, just because I think it would be interesting. We’ve talked back and forth about it for a long time. We both get really caught up in whatever we’re doing at the moment. But I fucking worship her regardless. I just think she’s wonderful.”

Their friendship has blossomed over the years, with Williams covering SZA's track, "Drew Barrymore" – which features on her 2017 debut album Ctrl – as part of the self-serenades live covers that she was filming over the pandemic.
At the tail-end of last year, Williams appeared on the Black People Love Paramore podcast, and when they probed her about a collaboration between the pair, alongside their friendship, Williams laughed and shared that she has been “sending texts weekly” to make the dream a reality.
