SZA - Normal Girl (Official Audio) 

I can relate to this..When I was younger I cried at night wishing I was like the other girls in my class. Long blond hair with blue eyes and a likeable personality.. those seemed to be the types guys went after. One day I just stopped caring. I dont know how I did it but I felt a thousand times happier as soon as I did.

"this time next year I'll be living so good won't remember no pain, I sweeaarrr " I swear😉

As a brown, bisexual girl with depression living with strict parents this hits different

as a black girl with social anxiety this song is relatable 💞🥺

I know sza will never see this but I just want her to know how much this song impacts me and how much I relate to it. I am a transgender woman and all my life I have just wanted to be a normal girl. I know that no matter what I do I will never be that but I have to realize that the people who put me down and degrade me are nothing. Just like she says this time next year I'll be living so good won't Remember anyone who has ever doubted me. This song is so amazing and I really feel touched and I absolutely love you for this. 💖

As a weird black girl I feel connected to this✨

As an asian girl that is expected to do very well on everything, I felt this.

this hits different when you struggle to love yourself and you wish you could just be someone else sometimes. just to feel like you fit the standard

This song really hits different when you are forever chasing an impossible beauty standard and trying to be liked and wanted by everyone... this song makes me appreciate myself in ways I never have before thank you SZA

this song gives off poc main character vibes

as a brown 1st gen Hispanic young woman raised by immigrant parents this song hits so hard. never been told that they are proud of me, and always in charge of others and their responsibilities. I hope I can heal my inner child one day

You were cheated out of your grammy

SZA × Frank Ocean???? would be fire

As a 15 yr black girl I felt this ✨

As a Muslim black girl (like Sza) this song hits different, I connect and relate to all her music I love it ❤️

the next album should be called Alt. then the next Delete.

THIS WHOLE ALBUM IS FUCKING AMAZING HOLY SHIT

It's the new year's eve of 2022, and I came here just to hear "this time next year, I'll be living so good, won't remember no pain."

all these "awkward" or "weird" black girls make me feel so welcome i wish i could give you all a big hug we got this black is beautiful.

*That moment when you like before listening 'cause you know SZA will never deceive you*

This album weirdly suppresses my anxiety, I'm officially obsessed with SZA!

as a latina with strict parents and depression and weird af this hits.

"i was i was a normal girl" and "This time next year I’ll be living so good won’t remember your name I swear!” WAS MY FAV lines i can relate so well she really imacts me and I LOVE U SZA

this song makes me wanna sit on the couch and light my blunt with my big fro and just have good vibes although i must say normal is boring

Sza makes me feel ok to be an adult and still insecure and haven’t figure anything out yet

As a Black 15 year old girl I felt this “Be proud of” that hit me

One of the biggest slept on songs on the album .. I keep coming back here 😫

Being a bisexual male who has fallen in love with a straight guy this song hits me every time, I am always wondering "maybe if I was a girl he would love me, take me to his house, show me to his mama and fellas" and all of that stuff. It hurts tho

This is my favorite song on the album

As a brown girl, this is the one song that actually stings. Crazy how SZA can hit your raw emotions and heart.

As an arab trans guy living in a strict North African muslim household Them lyrics hit sooo hard

How many people feel that SZA music will forever be timeless 🙋🏽‍♀️

*Hears '"You like it...when I get...aggressive..."' *Thinks 'Drake? Controlla? Contro'- WAAAAAAIT a damn sec... The album is called CTRL. Genius shit, SZA.

These comments are so amazing I hope SZA sees these comments and realises her music isn’t just something fun to dance to...every song on the ctrl album connects with your soul...she’s those special artists that make music from that heart that’s supposed to reach out to another heart ❤️

the amount of times ive cried to this song...

June is clearly the month of amazing music

This song just got me zoned 😔😢 "I wish I was a normal girl" Maybe it's just me or you feel the same.. But I'm loving this feeling. This vulnerability. This sunken place 🙇‍♀️

I can't listen to this song without crying

As a neurodivergent first gen Nigerian American, I’ve faced a lot of conflict from within. In surrounded myself with ppl I couldn’t relate but I was lonely so i masked and forced myself to enjoy it. Also the pressures that come from being an all achieving first gen was tough. Now I’m embracing my “weirdness” and I’m the happiest I’ve been since I was a child! Shout out to all weird girls, especially weird black girls🥰!

as a lgbtq black girl this song really hits

SZA IS SLAYING MY EARS EARLY THIS MORNING

Im a straight male and this is my favorite song by SZA

As a gay male who gets degraded and has been degraded a lot of times and feels ashamed of who I am I will forever love this song and it will always have a place in my heart. Hopefully this time next year I’ll be living so good. Thank you SZA for making music for many communities we love you. ❤

this song hits different when you’re a disabled girl...

CTRL is fucking amazing

I relate to this song because, I feel like in the lyrics “you like it when I be aggressive” it reminds me of how poc get sexualized for their anger, further more making it harder for woc to express themselves

song makes me think of when i was little. i always wanted to be that skinny, sporty, popular girl. i envied everyone around me because i didnt have those "parents" normal people spoke about. that "normal" childhood everyone had. i love sza for this song 😭

Im riding this wave of pure bliss thru this album . thank u Sza 🌹

her pen game is amazing

As girl with late diagnosed autism this song cuts deep. I tried to be a ‘normal girl’ for years and never felt like I fit in. Men take advantage of me easily and treat me like a manic pixie dream girl, while always keeping our relationship on the low. I’m a lot more comfortable in my own skin now but when I see a group of normal girls I can’t help but wish I was like them.

as a gay man this song hits in a different way, all of my friends are girls and i always feel left out because i can’t relate to them, but i also can’t relate to boys, sometimes i wish was a “normal girl” so boys would like me and i could fit in with the girls fully, i am always chasing the need to fit in and feel like i don’t belong anywhere sometimes.

Menh her album so vulnerable she got me crying on Drew Barrymore, Normal Girl, and 20 somethings

i see that controlla reference👀👅

i really connect to this song . As a middle eastern girl with all the "Arabic features' I had very thick eyebrows , thighs, brown curly hair, big nose so growing up in Europe wasnt easy for me at all i've always wished to be like those beautiful girls with blond hair , perfect noses and body . i always comapred myself to them wishing i was "normal girl" like them lol but then i grew up and realized that im unique and they all look the same but in diff fonts

I love this song so much, It truly helps me and other people who are considered "weird" and "different" in our society. It shows us, that we don't have to conform to what society deems as "normal" and to stick to our roots, our personality, and our morals. No matter if it's our family, our significant other or people we come across in our lives trying to change us. This song helped me cope with leaving a toxic relationship, the boy was trying to mold me into his perfect, normal girl which I simply am not. I lost a lot of myself, my personality, my hobbies, and my friends to stabilize that relationship. This song showed me, we must celebrate ourselves and be proud of our so-called "weirdness", no matter who comes into our life. Stay true to yourself and don't change yourself for anyone, all our weird and different traits make us individual and unique in our own way. Thank you SZA

The lyrics depress the shit out of me bc I’ve always struggled with respecting myself and wishing to be something else but the sound and tune is just too blissful it turns all of this sorrow into hope

"This time next year I'll be livin' so good Won't remember your name, I swear" shes so real for that

“The type of girl I know my daddy he’d be proud of” I felt that

This time next year I'll be livin' so good Won't remember your name, I swear Livin' so good, livin' so good, livin' so good This time next year I'll be livin' so good Won't remember no pain, I swear ANTHEM

Shout out to all boys vibin to this

"This time next year I'll be living so good." As a girl, still living in a environment that gives me religious trauma and really trying hard to get out of this place, this song is like a hug. It's so comfortingly assuring

this is devistatingly dreamy

it is a crime that there is no music video for this song

This song makes me wanna happy cry. Knowing it exist, knowing somebody like her that feels this way exist, knowing other people out there feel this way too. It's comforting and sad at the same time. Just know time heals all wounds, these feelings are pure and true to who u are, so if nobody else will, be proud of yourself for finding a way to push through these thoughts and be okay knowing someone else will treat u how u should be for being yourself. Never stop being u for nobody. U have my support on that. This song really do just hit different.

I may be the only male in this comment section with the wit and will to say this, but I am proud of all you queens in this comment section, in my eyes you are all beautiful 👸❤️

If SZA & Daniel Caesar made a song together I could die happy.

Easily the best song on the album. It's like all the different styles on the album combined into one - boom bap production, synths, piano, clever lyrics, amazing vocals, a little bit of SZA sing-rapping, its about love, its personal. God damn I love this album already.

To anyone feeling insecure about themself, know there is no "normal" person. EVERYONE is completely entitled to their own uniqueness and you should embrace your uniqueness ☺️

Being a Trans Woman makes me feel this song so hard. Like bbruuhhhhh. I cry everytime I hear it 😢😢❤ SZA IS THE G.O.A.T

This is the waviest, most relaxing and relatable shit ever man. I'm in love

loneliness of the black woman.

Been a black teenager girl...this hit different

2024 will be my year!

I feel this on a spiritual level.

I feel like she wrote this for me.

this hits hard because i am autistic and my doctors told me i will never be normal. sometimes i cry nonstop because i wish i wasn't autistic, that i could be normal, but it won't work because i was born with this mental disorder. thank you for making this song!

A solidão da mulher preta 🥺

This song makes me want to introduce SZA to my mama. SOMEONE INTRODUCE HER TO THEIR MAMA PLEASE

I have schizophrenia and ocd and this songs helps because it relates to me so much

To anyone whose reading this: Your beautiful!💕 Normal is boring BE YOU🌬❤️

as an african girl i feel so connected to this. i wished i had blonde hair blue eyes. thin lips. no arm hair. i thought thats what it took for guys to like me. i now realize im beautiful and i dont need to fit into society standards

SZA, H.E.R., Kelela, Kehlani, Willow.S and Rihanna has that same vibe and I love itttt 😈😍💪✊👍

I've never related to a song more than this one and I always cry when I listen to it. As someone who has been bullied for years for being a weirdo, this song perfectly encapsulates the insecurities I feel about myself. I wish I was a normal girl who wasn't judged or condemned by others.

As a girl with adhd and social anxiety I completely felt this. 🥺💙

This song just hits, I feel like I always felt this way because most of my life I’ve been growing up in a predominantly white community and I’m the only mixed girl at my school. I always wanted to fit in and be more Eurocentric, have straight hair and thinner lips, and now as I’m getting older I wish I was more connected to being part black instead of spending my childhood and early teenage years always striving to be white. I’m just confused

Never heard of her, glad RU-vid pointed me in her direction

Already one of my fave tracks on the album (the entire thing is amazing though).

I wish i was a normal girl. 😢❤

I felt this in my core being a black girl with adhd and social anxiety 😔.

That Controlla reference 🔥🔥🔥🔥

She's a fucking goddess man it blows my mind😩

My 16 year old South Asian brown self immensely relates to this. I've stopped caring and accepted myself tho. You should too 🥺❤

As a black 14 yr old lesbian with extremely homophobic parents and just living with the fact that she'll know they'll never accept her makes this song hit so much harder

i wish i was a normal girl

I'm a new listener I must say I'm vibing too this music it's so refreshing too my soul 😍

growing up with strict religious parents i always wished that i was able to do things that normal girls do. i love this song sm 💚

as a regular nigga that be chilling i like this song

You love the way I pop my top Or how I lose my cool Or how I look at you Say why? It ain't no fighting, no I can't stop it This took a while, yeah For the way I pump my fist or how I bust my hip For your affection, tryna be down No fighting and no stoppin' Stick around Wish I was the type of girl you take over to mama The type of girl, I know my daddy, he'd be proud of Yeah, be proud of Be proud of, be proud, you know, you know Wanna be a type of girl, you take home to your mama The type of girl, I know your fellas would be proud of Be proud of, be proud of, be proud of, boy you know Normal girl I wish I was a normal girl, oh my How do I be? How do I be a lady? Normal girl, oh I wish I was a normal girl I'll never be, no, never be uh You like it, when I be, aggressive You like when I say to you "Get it if you got it, I'm ready and waitin' for it I'm callin' to put it on", yeah Like it, when I be aggressive Love when I say to you "Get it if you want it, I'm ready and I'm on fire I'm burnin' to put it on", yeah, yeah, yeah Type of girl you wanna take home to mama Wanna be the type of girl my daddy, he'd be proud of Be proud of, be proud of, be proud, you know, you know The type of girl you wanna take home right up to mama The kind of girl, I know your fellas, they'd be proud of I'll be probably, I'll be proud like, I'll be probably a problem, oh (No fantasy, no fantasy) I really wish a was a normal girl How do I be, how do I be a lady? Normal girl, oh I wish I was a normal girl I'll never be, no never be, uh This time next year I'll be livin' so good Won't remember your name, I swear Livin' so good, livin' so good, livin' so good This time next year I'll be livin' so good Won't remember no pain, I swear People got you figured out, I was just a normal girl Normal girl, what do you say now? We own the world, 'cause we not going away now Wait on yourself 'cause you can figure your way out Normal girl Why do you, babe?

I haven't bought an album in 10 years. just bought hers. 😍
