It's no secret that SZA is having the best year of her career to date. Not only has her critically acclaimed debut album Ctrl been certified Gold in the US but it has also spawned two huge Platinum singles: 'Love Galore' with Travis Scott and 'The Weekend'.

Now, on top of all of that, she's just landed her first US Top 10 hit with her Maroon 5 feature on 'What Lovers Do'.

Say, say, say, hey, hey now baby
Oh mama, don't play now baby
Say, say, say, hey, hey now baby
Said let's get one thing straight now baby

Tell me, tell me if you love me or not
Love me or not, love me or not?
I'll bet the house on you, am I lucky or not
Lucky or not, lucky or not?
You gotta tell me if you love me or not
Love me or not, love me or not?
Been wishin' for you, am I lucky or not
Lucky or not, lucky or not?

Oh, oh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Been wishin' for you
Uhm, uhm
Tryna' do what lovers do (ooh)
Oh, oh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Been wishin' for you
Uhm, uhm
Tryna' do what lovers do (ooh)

Say, say, say, hey, hey now baby
You gonna make me hit you with that lay down, baby (oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Ooh) say, say, say, hey, hey now baby
You know what I need, out the gate now, baby (oh, oh-oh)

Tell me, tell me if you love me or not
Love me or not, love me or not?
I'll bet the house on you, am I lucky or not
Lucky or not, lucky or not?
You gotta tell me if you love me or not
Love me or not, love me or not?
Been wishin' for you am I lucky or not
Lucky or not, lucky or not?

Oh, oh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Been wishin' for you
Uhm, uhm
Tryna' do what lovers do (ooh)
Oh, oh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Been wishin' for you (wishin')
Uhm, uhm
Tryna' do what lovers do (ooh)

(Hey, yeah) what lovers do (oh, ohh)
What lovers do (hmm, na-na-na, hey yeah)
What lovers do (oh, hmm, na-na-na) (oh, ohh)

(Aren't we too, aren't we too)
Aren't we too grown for games?
Aren't we too grown to play around?
Young enough to chase
But old enough to know better

Are we too grown for changin'?
Are we too grown to mess around?
Ooh and I can't wait forever baby
Both of us should know better

Oh, oh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Been wishin' for you
Uhm, uhm
Tryna' do what lovers do (ooh)

Oh, oh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Been wishin' for you
Uhm, uhm
Tryna' do what lovers do (ooh)
Oh, oh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Been wishin' for you (you, oh, yeah)
Uhm, uhm (ooh)
Tryna' do what lovers do (tryna' do what lovers do, ooh)

Oh, oh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Been wishin' for you (been wishin' for love)
Uhm, uhm
Tryna' do what lovers do (do, uhh, ooh)
Oh, oh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Been wishin' for you (tryna' do)
Uhm, uhm
Tryna' do what lovers do (ooh)

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.
