Normal Girl

What it is

"Normal Girl" is track 12 on SZA's debut album Ctrl (June 2017), produced by Carter Lang and Scum and interpolating Drake's "Controlla." The song deals with the pressure to be the kind of woman others expect: someone who does everything right, is taken seriously, and fits traditional ideas of being worth marrying.
