SZA‘s bid to secure her first #1 hit on the Hot 100 may have been blocked by Taylor Swift last week and Miley Cyrus this week, but the R&B diva still has her sights set on seeing her name carved in the position with the ‘SOS‘ hit ‘Kill Bill.’

To aid its battle for the top spot the songstress (born Solana Rowe) has lifted the lid on yet another version of the tune, this time offering fans a stripped back rendition.

“I might kill my ex, not the best idea / His new girlfriend’s next, how’d I get here? / I might kill my ex, I still love him, though / Rather be in jail than alone,” she sings over the acoustic guitar.

And while ‘Bill’ has already helped hoist its parent album to a historic sixth week atop the Billboard 200, is the acoustic rendition just what the doctor ordered to finally get itself to the Hot 100’s summit?
