Three weeks ago, SZA sprung a surprise on fans with the unannounced release of new song ‘Hit Different’ – the kick off from her long-awaited sophomore album.
Featuring Ty Dolla $ign, the slow-burning tune boasts production from The Neptunes and saw its arrival accompanied with its official music video (directed by GRAMMY-nominated songstress herself).
Video In-Article Ad (Desktop)Greeted with fanfare, ‘Hit’ – as we reported here – seemed to be an out-of-the-box hit as it scored SZA her highest Hot 100 premiere (as a lead act) ever. Yet, its time in the tally’s top 40 was short-lived as peruse of the refreshed chart shows the cut has made a nearly 50-spot drop from its #29 debut.

In its second week on the Hot 100, ‘Hit Different’ hit #77 from its previous top 40 perch.

The drop is underscored by the song’s absence from the iTunes real-time sales and Spotify real-time streams charts’ respective top 100 as well as a modest #39 premiere on R&B radio charts.

Wow that’s weird. It was off to a really good start people are making dances to it and everything. On the radio front though I guess it could be that you really don’t understand what she’s saying. I don’t understand one word. But I like her so I tend to overlook that.🤷🏽♀️
Cause u cant understand a thing she says on it.
#SupportRnB
These TRASH rappers stay perched at the top of the charts while our R&B artists suffer. Where’s the damn support?
The song simply has too many things happen at once its also kinda boring… I’m not even going to get into the fact that I have to keep chiming in to remember that she is speaking English. It is so hard to understand.
It’s going to be a sleeper hit!
That song is incredible. And if you pay attention you can understand what she says, I learned the lyrics in 2 days. I LOOOOOOVVVVEEEE this song.
She’s lucky the song even charted, it’s so basic. They tried to use a social media trend ‘hit different’ but not in any context that is related to the way it would used so it makes no sense they’re just saying hit different over and over. It literally could have been called ANYTHING else smh
Video wasn’t very good, time for the next single

The song is not good
You guys give sza too much credit, let’s be honest what’s so special about her? Nothing
She tries too hard to be deep
Everything doesnt have to be deep
Just song normal songs pls
It’s just not a good song. I’ve felt that way since it first dropped and my opinion never changed no matter how many times I tried to get into it.
