Overall: @Your Power: Good article but I don't really think the hook is interesting. Could you propose another hook? Also need a QPQ. Onegreatjoke (talk) 19:05, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

@Onegreatjoke: Can I suggest one myself, in the meantime? Let me know if this could be OK.
ALT1b: ... that a song from SZA's 2022 album, SOS, pays tribute to her grandmother, who died from Alzheimer's disease during the LP's recording sessions? Oltrepier (talk) 15:38, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
I find that one too convoluted to be interesting. And @Onegreatjoke I agree the other ones aren't that eye-catching either, so here's one that's a little more narrative-heavy:
ALT2: ... that upon learning of her grandmother's death while creating an album, SZA memorialized her by having one of its tracks begin with her voice? ‍ ‍ Elias 🌊 ‍ 💬 "Will you call me?"
📝 "Will you hang me out to dry?"

For an ALT3, which I prefer the most because it's a little more outside-the-box compared to most song hooks: ... that a woman who died from Alzheimer's was memorialized by her granddaughter through posthumous vocals in a song? ‍ ‍ Elias 🌊 ‍ 💬 "Will you call me?"

@Your Power: A QPQ is still needed. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 16:09, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
Will get to this soon -Elias
I'd like to second the proposal for ALT3. It's pretty unusual and intriguing and isn't reliant on knowing SZA is. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 03:38, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
Thank you NHL ^^ And the QPQ is done ftr - @Onegreatjoke can we get an update on how this looks now? ‍ ‍ Elias 🌊 ‍ 💬 "Will you call me?"
