After pressing pause on production of her comeback studio album ‘Love in Real Life,’ singer-rapper Lizzo tided her fans (affectionately called #Lizzbians) over with a mixtape of bangers called ‘My Face Hurts from Smiling.’

And though the SZA and Doja Cat-assisted project failed to impact the Billboard 200 when it was released in June, Liz (born Melissa Jefferson) is looking to give the set another swing at the Billboard bat by unveiling its deluxe edition.

Offering nine new tracks, an easy standout from the September 5-released effort is the Lil Jon-enlisted ‘STFU.’

“Let me remind you, baby, minding your business is free / Let me remind you, baby, touching grass don’t cost a thing / Don’t let me find you, baby, out here chatting shit to me / Yap, yap, yap, yap, who asked you anyway,” she rap-sings over Ricky Reed production.

Bolstered by a prominent sample of Natalie‘s 2005 smash ‘Goin Crazy,’ hop inside to get acquainted with ‘STFU’ courtesy of its official music video directed by Rafael Perez (better known as Rafatoon).
