SZA – Doves In The Wind (Official Video) ft. Kendrick Lamar

This is a track by American R&B artist SZA and rapper Kendrick Lamar teaming up.

Despite its beautiful title, “Doves in the Wind,” it’s a powerful song that unabashedly sings about female sexuality.

They reportedly aimed for a more masculine, gritty sound, and that hefty beat pairs perfectly with SZA’s husky vocals.

The provocative lyrics may surprise you, but they might also carry a heartfelt cry for value that goes beyond physical allure—an appeal for inner worth.

You’ll be drawn in by their brilliant back-and-forth, without a doubt.

I Hate USZA23rank/position

SZA – I Hate U (Visualizer)

A classic sung over a mellow track, “I Hate U.” It’s a song released in 2021 by SZA, an R&B singer who has been active with great momentum since the late 2010s.

The track apparently wasn’t originally planned for an official release—it was uploaded to SZA’s SoundCloud account in August 2021.

It then exploded in popularity on TikTok and was officially released that December.

It’s a breakup song that vents pent-up anger over past relationships that didn’t work out and at former lovers.

Love Galore (ft. Travis Scott)SZA24rank/position

SZA – Love Galore (Official Video) ft. Travis Scott

Released in 2017 by SZA—arguably one of the most popular singer-songwriters in contemporary R&B—Love Galore is an official single from her debut album Ctrl, known for its emotional lyrics and distinctive beat.

It’s a sensual hit that candidly portrays a woman’s conflicted feelings in a complicated relationship, where she ends things as “just a summer fling” yet hints at regret.

The collaboration with Travis Scott fits perfectly, and together with the music video’s shocking ending, it’s a classic that begs to be played on hot summer nights.

Nobody Gets MeSZA25rank/position

SZA – Nobody Gets Me (Lyric Video)

When choosing background music for a farewell party, Western songs with moving melodies and poignant lyrics are a perfect fit.

For example, a melody that evokes a sense of a final parting can bring tears while also instilling hope for a new beginning.

Ballads are also effective.

A gently flowing piano line can add depth to a touching farewell scene and leave a lasting impression on attendees.

From songs that color tearful goodbyes to numbers that send encouragement for a positive future, there is a wealth of Western music suitable for a farewell setting.

Moreover, when timeless classics from across eras and regions are lined up, the atmosphere becomes truly special.

To celebrate a loved one’s next step, why not put your heart into the selection and create a moving, memorable moment?

Snooze (Acoustic) (ft. Justin Bieber)SZA26rank/position

SZA – Snooze (Acoustic) (Audio) ft. Justin Bieber

It’s nice to drive while being soothed by acoustic sounds, isn’t it? With that in mind, I highly recommend “Snooze (Acoustic) (ft.

Justin Bieber).” This is an acoustic re-release of R&B singer SZA’s track featuring Justin Bieber.

The harmonies between the two, both with high, airy vocals, are truly breathtaking.

Plus, the gently grooving rhythm makes it a perfect fit for a drive.

The WeekendSZA27rank/position

SZA – The Weekend (Official Audio)

SZA, a singer-songwriter launched by TDE—the label that Kendrick Lamar also belongs to—has drawn major attention and, since the 2010s, has enjoyed overwhelming support as an R&B artist.

She has an unusual background, having originally majored in marine biology at university, and even though as of 2021 she has released only one album, her distinctive sonic world has earned high praise and significant commercial success.

The Weekend, which portrays the dynamics between three women and one man, is a popular track from SZA’s 2017 debut album CTRL.

Its sound, which filters contemporary R&B through SZA’s own sensibility, feels both nostalgic and fresh, and you can’t help but be impressed by her ability to vividly convey delicate, shifting emotions.

The choice to sample Justin Timberlake’s Set the Mood (Prelude) is a brilliant touch as well!

No LoveSummer Walker, SZA, & Cardi B28rank/position

Summer Walker, SZA, & Cardi B – No Love (Extended Version) [Official Video]

The track “No Love,” featuring R&B standouts Summer Walker and SZA alongside hip-hop star Cardi B, brings together three highly distinctive artists.

Normally, that might make for a disjointed result, but this song thoughtfully softens each artist’s individuality to create a cohesive piece.

It feels so natural—almost as if they were a group from the start—making it a perfect choice for background music on your commute.
