Love month has officially blossomed as countless love songs, endearing gifts, and sentimental gestures pave their way into the scene. Indeed, ‘tis the season where we celebrate all forms of love, regardless of its simplicity or exquisiteness.
In line with the season of love month, love songs have been a significant part of celebrating this month by dedicating endearing songs to specific people. Whether we let them know through playlists or decide to keep it to ourselves as an official theme song for a special person, regardless, we all know that these songs contain a sentimental value of our emotions.
With this, let us talk about a song that will sweep you off your feet and help you set the mood this love month.
It has now been two months since the official release of SZA’s "𝙎𝙊𝙎" album, which undoubtedly skyrocketed to the top of the charts, so much so that it was renowned as album of the year (2022). The album features 23 songs, with "𝙎𝙣𝙤𝙤𝙯𝙚" being the 8th track, showcasing a dreamy ballad that subtly defines an intimate inner monologue–letting it weave the perfect ear candy this love month. Upon encountering this song in the album, a light-hearted atmosphere ultimately fills in the gap, almost as if it lets you take a breather from the other upbeat songs that come before it. There is something unconditional about Snooze that makes it light, easy, and wholesome, just like how love should feel.
Besides its dreamy yet vibrant beat, it also showcases a lyrical enthusiasm that features multiple figures of speech, making it a perfect song to dedicate to someone. Within its metaphorical approach, it allows you to be in the moment with emotions that carry out the intense yet subtle way of endearment to interpret and merge those metaphors into a story of your own.
In the first verse, SZA describes an intense lyrical take on how it feels like to love someone. It perfectly interprets how we are willing to go miles for a person as long as we know they would go down the same route. Coming in with a personal favorite, the chorus of Snooze speaks volumes with its direct approach to how we can describe our feelings to someone without taking on the cheesy and typical route. Listening to this song allows us to absorb the lyrics so that whenever we hear it, we zone out to a place where moments spent with someone we adore feel lighter and more sentimental.
As an overall verdict, I believe that Snooze is the official anthem this love month- whether you choose it as your confession song or just something to brighten up your mood this month. With that, this song is an anti-snooze anthem to set the mood this February. Be right back while I listen to Snooze on repeat!
