Starstruck SZA celebrates Martin Scorsese’s subtle approval of her new song

SZA is highly anticipated SOS Deluxe: Lana will be released on streaming platforms on December 20, 2024 and will introduce fans to 15 new titles. Among them, the song “Scorsese Baby Daddy” has attracted attention not only because of its catchy rhythm, but also because of an unexpected endorsement from legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese himself.

The track, which humorously refers to Scorsese as the “King of Drama,” includes introspective lyrics such as: “Addicted to the drama / Scorsese baby daddy / Right there, just a little further down / Got a brand new reason to spiral out. ”

The text sparked a connection with Scorsese’s daughter Francesca, who expressed her father’s subtle approval on Instagram. Francesca posted a photo of the filmmaker, accompanied by the caption and “SZA, Queen sh*t.”

SZA was thrilled by the recognition and shared her reaction on social media. “The fact that this isn’t AI, it’s actually Martin Scorsese 😭,” she wrote, expressing her excitement and gratitude for the unexpected interaction.

Although the song does not reference any specific Scorsese films, it is consistent with his reputation for exploring complex, dramatic narratives. Fans are speculating that this playful name-dropping could open doors for a deeper collaboration, especially as SZA’s music increasingly references cinematic storytelling.

This recognition from Scorsese isn’t the first time SZA’s work has entered Hollywood territory. Their recent music video for “Drive” featured actor Ben Stiller, a collaboration that arose from a lighthearted online exchange. Fans are now hoping for a possible visual interpretation of Scorsese Baby Daddy, possibly involving the legendary director himself.
