    October 19, 2022 – The late Frank Sinatra once said that he’s “for whatever gets you through the night.” Frank was not alone in finding the “wee small hours” a struggle; that’s when loneliness and longing tend to strike.

    In her track “2 AM” from the new “deluxe” release of her album Ctrl, the artist SZA lays bare her own late night thoughts. SZA artfully changes up the lyrics from PartyNextDoor’s hit “Come And See Me” to make it her own plea to an absent lover. You’ll feel like you’re eavesdropping on a very authentic, private paean. Enjoy.
