SZA has shared a new song, \u201cSave the Day.\u201d It appears on the soundtrack to the forthcoming Disney-Pixar film Hoppers<\/em>, which premieres next month. Give the track a listen below.<\/p>\n

Due out March 6, Hoppers<\/em> takes place in a world where \u201cscientists have discovered how to \u2018hop\u2019 human consciousness into lifelike robotic animals\u201d per a synopsis. The film was co-directed by Daniel Chong and Nicole Grindle; the voice cast features Meryl Streep, Dave Franco, Kathy Najimy, Jon Hamm, Sam Richardson, and more.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Laughing Place<\/em>, Chong said he and Grindle decided to reach out to SZA for their soundtrack after using \u201cGood Days\u201d and \u201cSaturn\u201d as placeholder music in Hoppers<\/em>\u2019 credits. “I think there was an intuitiveness in talking with SZA that when she saw the movie, I think she immediately knew what the movie needed,\u201d Chong explained.<\/p>\n

Although SZA technically shared her most recent album, SOS<\/em>, in 2022, she hasn\u2019t been stingy with new music. A 2024 expanded edition of SOS<\/em>, SOS Deluxe: Lana<\/em>, featured fifteen new tracks. In 2025 alone, SZA toured with Kendrick Lamar and joined him at the Super Bowl; sang with Elmo on Sesame Street<\/em>; and starred with Keke Palmer in the buddy comedy One Of Them Days.<\/em> She also reunited with Lamar for the GNX<\/em> track \u201cLuther,\u201d which won the pair a Grammy for Record of the Year earlier this month.<\/p>\n
