AceShowbiz - SZA couldn't help but get emotional while filming the music video for "Nobody Gets Me". When sitting down with Billboard, she admitted that she "cried a lot" while shooting the visuals because it was "really f**king sad."
"I never know [what to expect]," the 33-year-old said. "When I was performing '20 Something' before my grandma died, it didn't hit me the same. And then after my grandma died, I could barely get through it at rehearsal. Who knows what any of these songs will bring up for me in real life? Shooting the video for 'Nobody Gets Me' was really f**king sad. I cried a lot. I'm just going to wing it and see."
SZA dropped the "Nobody Gets Me" music video just hours after releasing her sophomore album, "S.O.S", in December 2022. In the Bradley J. Calder-directed clip, she sings from several NYC rooftops. At some point in the black-and-white video, the R&B star can be seen walking through some streets and alleys of the Big Apple.
"What's left of you/ How am I supposed to tell you/ I don't wanna see you with anyone but me?/ Nobody gets me like you," she chants in the chorus. "How am I supposed to let you go?/ Only like myself when I'm with you/ Nobody gets me, you do."
SZA is currently on her first-ever arena tour, which kicked off on Tuesday night, February 21 in Columbus Ohio. Before hitting the road, she confessed to Billboard that she was nervous to perform in front of a big crowd.
"It's interesting because my other shows were intimate, and I felt like people were really coming to see me," she shared. "But I know certain people are just coming to see what the hype is about, and that makes me nervous. But I just want to put on the best show that expresses my theatrical side."
"I am deeply excited to pop a** and cry and give theater. I want it to feel like a play on Broadway, but more like Suspiria and Cirque du Soleil in the weirdest way," she went on explaining. "I want it to be smart and exhilarating and exhausting and exciting like a party, but also like a therapy session."
