SZA speaks: "Kill Bill" and my boyfriend

Cupid (Kama), angel of death

Is "Kill Bill" the greatest song of the year or a sucky piece of garbage, confection for the masses, a one-way ticket to stardom for a half-butt talent? Who knows? But we love it. It was the greatest pop hit for 2023.

What rivals it, other than Olivia Rodrigo's brilliant Guts? Better than Beyonce, greater than Taylor, it's all about crazy love and deadly about that feeling of being jilted. Whatcha gonna do? Blame it on Cupid. Blame the stars. Say there's something wrong with GOD's plan,

Hello, my name is Eros. I'm here to destroy you.

"GOD" (not to be confused with God or the gods, Maha Brahma and the devas) being the perfect arrangement of the reality behind the illusion known as Brahman in India. It's a killer track.

Who knows how SZA came up with it or who wrote it for it. Was it, as one TikTok suggests, her unconsciously remembering the killer guitar duo in Avenged Sevenfold's "Bat Country"? It sure sounds like it. Who owns a melody? Ask your friends. They'll all tell you the same thing: "Don't hate the Player. Hate the Game." What is a Dater to do?
