Lizzo has released her new song “About Damn Time.” It’s her first single since sharing “Rumors” (featuring Cardi B) last year. She’s also announced that her new album Special is out July 15 (via Nice Life/Atlantic).
In the Christian Breslauer–directed video, Lizzo flees a “Stressed & Sexy” support group in a video that features an office building with light-up disco flooring and a scene where she plays flute while standing atop the water in a swimming pool. Watch it all happen, and find the album artwork for Special, below.
In a new interview with Zane Lowe, Lizzo chatted about the inspiration behind “About Damn Time.” “‘About Damn Time’ can lead into so many conversations,” she said. “It’s about damn time I feel better, it’s about damn time we get out this pandemic. It’s about damn time we to get the first Black female Supreme Court Justice. There’s so many things. It’s about damn time we popped the champagne. It’s about damn time the tequila got here.”
This weekend, Lizzo will work double duty as both the host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live. She made her SNL debut in December 2019, performing “Truth Hurts” and “Good as Hell” during an episode hosted by Eddie Murphy.
Lizzo’s last album, Cuz I Love You, came out in 2019. Her new TV series Watch Out for the Big Grrrls premiered last month as part of an exclusive deal with Amazon Studios.
