Following the release of her standout sophomore studio album SOS, SZA has unveiled an acoustic version of one of fans’ favorite songs.
The addictive breakup anthem “Kill Bill” originally uses a laid-back but punchy beat with layers of instrumentation and synth. SZA followed up with a Quentin Tarantino-inspired music video featuring a treacherous escape, martial arts and animation.
On the acoustic version, the singer performs over just a faint guitar, allowing her vocals to truly shine through.
“I might kill my ex, not the best idea / His new girlfriend’s next, how’d I get here?” SZA sings on the chorus. “I might kill my ex, I still love him though / Rather be in jail than alone.”
“Kill Bill” topped Spotify’s global charts upon the LP’s release and is still currently hovering at the no. two spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. SOS, meanwhile, landed as the singer’s first LP in five years and the highly-anticipated follow-up to her breakthrough Ctrl.
