YES. SZA REALLY IS BECOMING ONE OF THE BIGGEST SUCCESS STORIES OF THE YEAR IN MUSIC.
Maroon 5 kicked off the celebrations after finding out the huge news that 'What Lovers Do' had broken the Top 10. The beloved band took to Twitter to write to all of their fans: "Awesome! Thanks for tuning in and thank you goes to [SZA]". What cuties.
Seriously, which other popstars reach out to their collaborators in such kind and wonderful ways like that?
Ever one of the loveliest superstars in music today, SZA quickly returned the favour.
In response, the 'Supermodel' singer tweeted: "NAH THANK YOU GOES TO YOU GUYS !! Amazing team of chill ass dudes . Thank u for allowing me to be a part uh the shine !!" This entire exchange is so heartwarming. We adore these artists.
And we're pretty sure that they're both what makes 'What Lovers Do' so amazing.
Now if you don't mind us, we're going to listen to 'What Lovers Do' on repeat.
It's only been out a few months but it's easily one of the songs of the year.
