Waiting for LANA has not been an easy journey for fans. The add-on was teased in August of 2023, when SZA teased the title "Lana" in behind-the-scenes footage for "Snooze." In September of 2023, the Jersey-native confirmed a deluxe edition of SOS at a surprise concert at Brooklyn Navy Yard in New York City. The release seemed imminent when SZA posted “Lana” to her Instagram with what seemed like the album covers in December of 2023.
Eventually, the project’s lead single “Saturn” was surprise-released on February 22nd, 2024.
At least, the release seemed to finally arrive when SZA posted a teaser for the album to her Instagram, featuring actor Ben Stiller. The teaser hinted at a midnight release on December 20th.
However, at midnight today, there was no album to be found. Instead, she released the music video to "Drive," also featuring Stiller. SZA promised the new music would arrive in the morning: "FULL DELUXE DROPS FIRST THING TOMORROW AM🫡 (Had to get my mixes right lol ! All songs are delivered and Ingesting into the system as we speak🙂↕️ pls be kind .. we been up for days )."
The album did not arrive in the morning. SZA's manager Terrence ‘Punch’ Henderson took responsibility for the delay. tweeting that it was his fault.
12pm. It’s my fault.
