American singer-songwriter SZA co-writes almost all of her songs with their respective producers; for many of them, she is the sole lyricist.[a] Her repertoire encompasses two studio albums, one reissue album, three extended plays (EPs), multiple film and television soundtracks, and several guest appearances. Psychedelic and lo-fi instrumentals characterize SZA's early songs, and the self-uploaded SoundCloud EPs See.SZA.Run (2012) and S (2013) were her career's first releases.[2] Executives at Top Dawg Entertainment took notice of her SoundCloud music and signed a recording contract with her in 2013. Afterwards, she released her third EP Z (2014).[3]

Three years later, SZA released her debut studio album, Ctrl. Many of the people who contributed to the album were or became frequent collaborators, including Travis Scott, then-labelmate Kendrick Lamar, and producer Carter Lang. Critics have identified Ctrl as primarily an R&B album with elements of jazz and alternative.[4][5] As time passed, the media started to consistently label SZA as an R&B artist, and she surmised the categorization was due to stereotypes about Black women in music.[6][7] Wanting to demonstrate her versatility, she incorporated an amalgam of genres on her second album, SOS (2022), such as R&B, rap, rock, and pop.[8][9] SOS's reissue, Lana (2024), was supported by the singles "Saturn", "BMF", and "30 for 30".

Outside of her albums and EPs, SZA has appeared on dozens of songs by other musicians like Lamar, Isaiah Rashad, and Doja Cat. Her unreleased music comprises a large amount of album outtakes and scrapped verses, many of which have leaked online. She thinks of the aforementioned leakers as thieves, and her label's manager Punch said that these leaks could cause her releases to be postponed or even cancelled.[10][11]
