SZA and Justin Bieber seem to be running each other at light speed, or at least at the speed of sound - literally, as they just dropped a new version of their song, "Snooze." All fans want to know, is where Drake at given they were to release a new song on September 15.
This Is Not SZA & Justine Bieber's First Rodeo
Earlier this year in August, SZA took fans by surprise by teaming up with Justin Bieber for her new song, "Snooze," which also featured the likes of Benny Blanco, Young Mazino, and Woody McClain. She thanked everyone who put the song together, writing, "Thank you to everyone involved in making this happen !! Especially my co-stars for being so awesome."
As fans said it, she got in one, "from every clan!"
Hailey Bieber was one of the first to respond to the post, sending heart-eyed emojis, although social media users wondered how she was okay with all of this - given the video features some intimate scenes between a scantily clad SZA and Justin Bieber.
Most fans simply seemed besotted with SZA, writing, "There were other ppl in the video??? I'm sorry, I was only looking at the SZA the whole time." Another quipped, "Okay JB was never attractive to me until I saw him in bed with SZA!"
Fans also felt that Justin Bieber looked truly happy, writing, "AINT seen Justin smile this in a minute lmao." Some even felt he looked way too comfortable with SZA, commenting, "I thought I was the only one who noticed, you wouldn’t even know this mfer was married to another woman. You would think SZA was his lady."
Still more had problems with SZA being almost completely bare in the video, as they lamented, "Why do women always have to be [sans clothing] in these music videos, it’s so degrading, we are way more than just [that]."

The New Version Has Vocals By Justin Bieber Too
SZA just dropped a new post with a snippet of the "Snooze" video of her running in a green field, writing, "Ps. forgot to mention this lmao Snooze Acoustic ft @Justinbieber out now."
Excited fans couldn't help but ask, "SZA DOING SURPRISE RELEASES NOW?" Another chimed, "Oh you just gonna feed us the best song and it’s sibling..."
Fans loved the vocals by Bieber, but didn't appreciate all the touchy-feely, writing, "He doesn’t need to be hugging up like that but he did bring the vocals."
Many promised that this song would be "ON REPEAT! FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR" while more were just happy about their existence, commenting, "I’m so happy to live in the same lifetime as you two."

Bieber also took to his social media to promote the song, although he didn't put a post, instead using his Instagram Stories to show him recording the song.
His latest Instagram post is all about celebrating five years with wifey Hailey Bieber, as he wrote some heartfelt words, "To the most precious, my beloved. 5 years. You have captivated my heart. I know from the depths of my soul down to my bones that this journey with you will only exceed our wildest expectations. So let’s keep dreaming big baby. Cheers to forever and ever. I love you with every fiber of my being."
SZA Also Scored At The 2023 MTV VMAs
Nominated in six categories, SZA finally took home the VMA for Best R&B, for her song, "Shirt." Despite the multiple nominations, SZA was missing from the awards night, although she did not offer an explanation for her not attending the same.
This is the same category for which Chris Brown was also nominated, and Selena Gomez made a face when his name was announced.

Gomez cheered when he heard SZA announced as the winner, but again, looked a bit disappointed when she got to know that SZA was not going to collect her award. While her reactions have gone viral, Gomez refuses to be a "meme!"
Meanwhile, even while she was absent, SZA still managed to serve, via social media...
