Released in 2017, Ctrl is SZA’s groundbreaking debut studio album, blending alternative R&B, neo-soul, and hip-hop influences into an intimate, emotionally raw exploration of love, self-worth, and personal growth. The album’s confessional songwriting and unique vocal style set SZA apart, earning widespread acclaim and cementing her as one of the most influential artists of her generation.

Lyrically, Ctrl delves into themes of insecurity, relationships, independence, and self-discovery, with standout tracks like "Love Galore," "The Weekend," and "Broken Clocks" becoming anthems of modern R&B.
