SZA's intimate bond with 'Consideration' and the creative turmoil

According to hot new hiphop, SZA emphasized the deep connection she held with the song, referring to a specific lyric, saying, "'When I look outside my window, I can't get no peace of mind.' That lyric is from 'Consideration'."

Expressing frustration and feeling creatively drained after the alleged theft, she reflected, "I'll never have anything that's cool again; I'll never make anything that's cool again." She described the song as the centerpiece of her album, making the situation even more disheartening.

Rihanna incorporated the disputed song into her project, causing a clash for SZA, who had recently completed a music video and was on the verge of its release.



 

From creative loss to gain in 'Consideration'

Negotiations between Rihanna and the label over the song further intensified SZA's realization that her creative vision had seemingly been annexed.

Despite the initial difficulty accepting the situation, SZA later found a positive outlook, admitting, "Now it's like I'm so glad that it happened. It didn't cost me anything. If anything, I just gained a bunch from it."
