CTRL changed my life as a 20 something.. this album came out when I graduated from college at 22 and now I’m 26 (same age as when she wrote the album) and it resonates even more as I live and grow into my 20’s. It’s a masterpiece 4 years later. CTRL captures so many of our experiences. Go Gina is one of my favorites. Thank you Sza for this piece of art, I know 20 something’s for generations will relate to this album, it makes you feel less alone.
Of all the videos your dropped for CTRL i think this is my favorite. The visual concept is simple but grounding like the song. You look ethereal af. The no shoes thing is really dope to (at least to me) It's truly representative of the simple nature of the song. Not being uptight. Getting that get right. Being free. Minding your business and living life. Love you Solana 💕✨💕
Sandman this isn’t a music video for the actual song. This video is simply a solo acoustic (private session) if you would like to call it that, for the song
That bit from 1:36-2:00 where she says these 3rd person affirmations into the mirror. I do love this lyrical ethereal queen. Emotion off the charts with every song - and she's even better live. She is a legend. I can't wait for her to come back.
I met sza and the guitarist in real life when they did a outdoors concert in south jersey. she is amazing and a great person in real life. she was super nice she saw me skateboarding down a hill and came up to me. literally made my entire week.
I remember the first time I was introduced to Sza was when my friend sent me Babylon. And I been listening to her since. I was a bit sad when other people started knowing her and it was not so much of a special connection when you met someone that listened to her music. But with such a beautiful voice. It needs to be shared with the world. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS ONE SZA 🧚🏼♂️💐
i remember feeling this way when Ctrl came out and to think sheʼs now one of the biggest “pop stars” 🤯 itʼs crazy to look back at her journey, and even crazier that we was apart of it
@@jasminesmith1622 I was at the NPR show where she WAS supposed to perform, but her voice was shot from a show the night before. She was so bummed she couldn't do it. :( In the end, she came out and talked to everyone individually, and just vibed for the evening! I think I got a video on my IG @ames.dc
SZA's 'CTRL' is officially nominated for multiple Grammy's for 2018! Best New Artist - SZA Best R&B Performance - 'The Weekend' Best R&B Song - 'Supermodel' Best Urban Contemporary Album - CTRL Best Rap/Sung Performance - Love Galore (ft. Travis Scott) SZA is reportedly the leading lady of the Grammy's, with the most nominations (5) for a woman, let alone a young woman of color! Congratulations queen Solana! We'll be praying for 5 Grammy awards within the next few months!
More than any of her peers,I think the Indie-vocal style works for her the most. That guitar mixed with her tone is SO GOOD! I only want SZA to use a healthy technique to sound better LIVE when she uses this voice.
I honestly did not like this song at all at first. But for some reason when this stripped version came out, both versions suddenly became my favorites hands down! "Picking up a penny with a press on is easier than holding you down, can't be any harder than holding you up"... That line gives me chills everytime. Nothing like trying your hardest to "hold a man down" and trying your hardest to "hold him up" (making him stay at times he's trying to leave) then having "Gina" constantly in your business, running her mouth making a bad situation worse!!! Smh. This one really makes me reflect on my past relationships. It resonates in my soul. She really outdone herself with this one.
Honestly one of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard. I feel like her whole album was about getting over love and trying to figure out what she is to these men, and If you really listen to the lyrics in this song they honestly make that point even more clear. Then the simplicity of this video just contradicting the lyrics is honestly a work of art.
Honestly this is the first version of "Go Gina" I heard and I'm so in love with the vibe I couldn't get into the original. This is why I love SZA. She takes a song and strips it naked until it is just her voice and the melody and her energy is beautiful!!🥰 That's a REAL artist.
The fact I’m here since this video dropped is incredible. The scene gives a Twilight vibe and then her vocals bring out a serenity that Hit Different on another level. That last Go Gina is a heart puller…..Love this woman!
Lyrics: I loves you bae Picking up a penny with a press on is Easier than holding you down Can't be any harder than holding you up now To come clean I said To be real is to be real, no Probably true what they say about me Probably came from my inner circle It usually come from your inner circle Or lack thereof and I don't know who I can trust I've been dropping out and I've been hanging out with my high friends And we too stoned to pay attention, now Much too cool for 7th grade I mean, really it's same me, it's old me You know? same shit I've been on the low key Grinding, (grinding, grinding, grinding, grinding) Learning on the low key, shining Tryin' to keep to myself But you bring me out of character Every time again Damn Gina, damn Gina Them jeans, they must be uptight mama You need some get right mama And go Gina, go Gina Go get that get right mama And go Gina, go Gina Go do you, get right, mama I belong to nobody Hope it don't bother you You can mind your business I belong to nobody Try not to disturb And mind my business It works for me, it works for me, no And go Gina, and go Gina, aye It works for me, it works for me, no And go Gina, and go Gina, aye It works for me, it works for me, no And go Gina, and go Gina, aye It works for me, it works for me, no And go Gina, and go Gina, aye

Dope song. I automatically thought of Gina from Martin when I heard it. How dope that would have been to have made that song in the 90s! But once again you as an artist have proven that you can go beyond the scope of R&B music and make a song sound so sultry and soulful at the same time!
Who’s here in 2024? This version is superior!

Lyrics:
I loves you bae
Picking up a penny with a press on is
Easier than holding you down
Can't be any harder than holding you up now
To come clean I said
To be real is to be real, no
Probably true what they say about me
Probably came from my inner circle
It usually come from your inner circle
Or lack thereof and I don't know who I can trust
I've been dropping out and
I've been hanging out with my high friends
And we too stoned to pay attention, now
Much too cool for 7th grade
I mean, really it's same me, it's old me
You know? same shit
I've been on the low key
Grinding, (grinding, grinding, grinding, grinding)
Learning on the low key, shining
Tryin' to keep to myself
But you bring me out of character
Every time again
Damn Gina, damn Gina
Them jeans, they must be uptight mama
You need some get right mama
And go Gina, go Gina
Go get that get right mama
And go Gina, go Gina
Go do you, get right, mama
I belong to nobody
Hope it don't bother you
You can mind your business
I belong to nobody
Try not to disturb
And mind my business
It works for me, it works for me, no
And go Gina, and go Gina, aye
It works for me, it works for me, no
And go Gina, and go Gina, aye
It works for me, it works for me, no
And go Gina, and go Gina, aye
It works for me, it works for me, no
And go Gina, and go Gina, aye
I could just sit and listen to her talk & sing for days oh my lawwd so majestic😍😍
I love how she customizes each performance and sounds so unique and true to herself every single time. She is absolutely amazing.
This album came out when I went through my first heartbreak. This really aided me
this is too beautiful. I’m screaming 😭
this made me feel so amazing...i need an acoustic version of CTRL... ❤️
Favorite version of the song

A mesmerizing queen ✨✨ can’t wait to see her win a Grammy
