Jakarta (ANTARA) - Penyanyi RnB asal Amerika Serikat memasukkan lagu "Open Arms" ke dalam album keduanya yang berjudul "SOS", yang dirilis pada 2022.

"Open Arms" yang dinyanyikan SZA bersama Travis Scott, bercerita tentang keputusan untuk meninggalkan orang yang dicintai.

SZA berduet kembali dengan penyanyi rap AS Travis Scott untuk membuat lagu "Open Arms", setelah berkolaborasi dalam lagu "Power is Power" bersama The Weeknd (lagu tema untuk serial TV "Game of Thrones" musim ke-8), hingga "Love Galore" (untuk album SZA bertajuk CTRL/ 2017).

Lagu "Open Arms" telah didengarkan lebih dari 61 juta kali di YouTube dan 480,6 juta kali di Spotify.

SZA, diucapkan sebagai "siz-za", merupakan nama panggung dari peraih Grammy Solana Rowe. Nama itu diambil dari Supreme Alphabet, sebuah konsep yang diperkenalkan oleh gerakan pemeluk agama Islam keturunan Afro-Amerika Five-Percent Nation untuk menginterpretasi huruf latin.

S pada Supreme Alphabet adalah sovereign (berdaulat) atau savior (penyelamat), Z adalah zig-zag (ilmu, kebijaksanaan atau pengertian), dan A adalah Allah.

Lirik lagu SZA dan Travis Scott "Open Arms"

[Intro: Norma Rowe]

When you do your best you ca—, I done told you

When you do your best, hell, that's all you can do

You and me and anybody else

So they always start talkin'

[Verse 1: SZA]

Runnin' away from where I'm from

Never can stay with no one

Lovin' you almost feels like something

When no one's around me

You lost and found me

I was surrounded

With open, open, open

[Chorus: SZA & Travis Scott]

Open arms (Ooh)

Open arms

You keep me open, I'm so devoted

You keep me open (Ooh)

Open arms

I'm so devoted to you, to you, to you

[Verse 2: SZA]

Spent your life bein' hopeless

Chokin' on insecurity

I know all this is bad

But please put a leash on me anyway

Who needs self-esteem anyway?

I hate myself to make you stay

Push me away, I'll be right here

With open, open, open

[Chorus: SZA & Travis Scott]

Open arms (Ooh)

Open arms

You keep me open, I'm so devoted

You keep me open

Open arms

I'm so devoted to you, to you, to you

[Verse 3: Travis Scott]

No matter what come between us, yeah, I decided

I'm forever ridin', we forever guided

Pull up on an opp, hit his curb up, slide it (Brr)

Notice when you mad, ain't no words, just silence

Drew my favorite color, now you seein' every shade of me

You say that I'm trippin', I hit back like, "Where you takin' me?"

Locked in for life, on God, no replacin' me

Consequences, repercussions, karma keep on changin' me

For you, I try

Face card, valid ID

C'est la vie, go to Paris

It ain't five-star, it ain't me

Over-solid, keep it concrete

I'ma bet it on you, a whole fee

Just don't switch sides

I could fire piece your wrist, AP

Through the ups and downs and all the heat

Take a turn and tell you what it be

Backshots make you feel relief

Anything, just don't you ever leave
​​​​​​​
[Outro: SZA, Travis Scott, & Both]

I guess I gotta go (Ooh)

I guess it's time to go

I gotta let you go

(I'm so devoted)

You keep me open

Gotta let you go, gotta let you go

I gotta let you go, I must

You're the only one that's holdin' me down (Ooh)

You're the only one holdin' me down (Only one)

'Cause I'm the only one that's holdin' me down
