No one would be hating SZA after dropping this visualizer!
SZA took to Instagram and Youtube to release the "1st Part" of what seemed to be a "multi-part" visualizer of her latest single, "I Hate U".
Starring Oscar Award Nominee LaKeith Stanfield, as the titular "U", the almost four minute visualizer seemed to be a placeholder for an official music video on the works.
The clip is directed by Jack Begert who have also been known in producing videos for Doja Cat, Denzel Curry, Nas, and Kendrick Lamar.
Although SZA had low hopes for "I Hate U," the song quickly rose from being a SoundCloud creeper to a TikTok hit and eventually became one of the most critically and financially successful singles of the artist's career.
I Hate U, Ctrl, and Other Collabs
Released officially last December 2021, SZA's "I Hate U", peaked at No. 7 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming SZA's second song and first as the lead artist, to debut in the top ten, while also debuting at number one on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
It broke records as the most-streamed R&B song by a female artist on Apple Music in its debut week.

"I Hate U" simultaneously debuted at No. 1 on the United States Spotify and Apple Music Charts. The track also reached the Top 40 in Australia, United Kingdom and Ireland.
Anonymously released in Soundclound last August along with " "Joni" and "Nightbird", "I Hate U" is the R&B singer's latest single, proceeding her collaboration with Kali Uchis on "Fue Major", and her successful "The Anonymous Ones" from the Dear Evan Hansen soundtrack.
One of her most successful music so far was her collaboration with Doja Cat on "Kiss Me More" which earned three Grammy nominations for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
The track also managed to won an American Music Award and MTV Video Music Award for Collaboration of the Year, and Best Collaboration, respectively.
Released in 2017, Ctrl has charted two of its tracks in the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 and was double platinum-certified by the Recording Industry Association of America.
There are no information yet as to when she would follow her 2017 Grammy Nominated hit album "Ctrl".
