SZA Is Back with a Cover of Eminem’s “Lose Yourself”

R&B sensation SZA has delighted fans by releasing a heartfelt cover of Eminem’s iconic song “Lose Yourself.” In a surprising move, the singer known for her soulful voice and introspective lyrics has put her unique spin on the Academy Award-winning track.

“U ever just cover Eminem on some tender sh-t for feels? (Not on a project Just for mental health),” SZA shared on social media, hinting at the personal significance behind the cover. The rendition stays true to the original, with SZA delivering Eminem’s rapid-fire verses with her own emotive touch.

In her cover, SZA raps the familiar lines: “His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy / There’s vomit on his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti / He’s nervous, but on the surface, he looks calm and ready / To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin’.” The performance highlights her versatility and pays homage to the enduring power of Eminem’s lyrics.
