Songfacts®:

• On "Scorsese Baby Daddy," SZA admits to being "addicted to the drama" in relationships. And yet, beneath the storm of tangled emotions, she aches for something real, a connection that might anchor her amid the whirlwind.
• The title, of course, is a nod to Martin Scorsese, director of gritty movies like Taxi Driver, Goodfellas and The Wolf of Wall Street that are populated by volatile characters. By invoking Scorsese, SZA casts herself as a woman drawn to danger. The phrase "Scorsese baby daddy" is a plea for an adrenaline rush wrapped in a leather jacket.
• It's not all theatrical chaos. SZA weaves in moments of introspection, showing us a glimpse of the woman behind the drama. "One day, I'll understand all that it takes to be a lady," she sings, as she tries to cut herself some slack.
