Glad to see this going to adds finally! Hopefully it'll do well/get a good amount of cross-format airplay.
I hope the SZA remix exists and will be released to give the song a boost.

No, lol SHE WAS ALREADY BOOKED AND BLESSED when Lizzo asked her and Lizzo was pissed (like kiddingly, in a I WANTED YOU BITCH way lol) but so happy for her! can you tell me more? This is news to me and Iβd love to hear about it. :) Booked with? Yeah, it wasn't like booked for a tour but booked for Trans/LGBTQ+ events/shows and if I recall, Jayla's dates for those coincided mainly with Special rehearsals more so than the tour itself... she (along with other Big Grrrls that didn't or couldn't make the tour) made an appearance at one of Lizzo's stops and performed on stage with them...

This was the best choice from the album, it's upbeat but still stripped enough that it doesn't tread in the same direction as About Damn Time or 2 Be Loved.
Unfortunately I don't really know how radio is gonna treat it, pop radio seems uneasy to pick up her tracks unless they trend like Truth Hurts or About Damn Time. She should get a remix out.

What a wasted opportunity to have them premiere the single at the Grammys. SZA presented an award immediately after Lizzo's performance.
The performance actually got me to come around to this song. Hope it's a hit!

Excited for the remix!! :)

Premieres as the Hottest Record on BBC Radio 1. FYI, the SZA version of the track is the one to be pushed to radio, going for adds upon its release.

Why is all this music dropping on Thursday? Is there a big single I missed or is Paramore that much of a streaming threat?

This is great! Iβm glad they put SZA into every part of the song they could, unlike the weak Good As Hell remix

I was pleasantly surprised by SZA opening the remix. I like it, but I wouldnt say Iβm gravitating to pay it more than the original.

I LOVE that SZA's parts aren't just her singing the already written lyrics of the original. (Side eyeing the "Good as Hell" Ariana mix.) Brings a nice breath of freshness to the track. Although, I do wish she had an extra verse added somewhere. Right after the bridge would have been perfect.
All in all, a pretty nice remix, and perhaps the best one since Megan & Bey's "Savage."

SHOOTER Maybe we could drop the "remix" from the thread title? Since this new version has been called just "Special (feat. SZA)" on all digital outlets.

Why is all this music dropping on Thursday? Is there a big single I missed or is Paramore that much of a streaming threat? Don't quote me on this officially, but I believe the reasoning is to get a head start / people aware of it before the usual Friday dump of new music from everyone else. Unless it's some colossal release, this kind of rollout makes sense.

SZA certainly elevates the song. Don't see it doing much on Pop but we'll see.

There's no guarantee that this will be a big hit. About Damn Time became a big hit because of Tik Tok, the 2nd single underperformed and this is the 3rd single. I give Lizzo's team credit for getting SZA on the remix, so it should help somewhat.
