SZA has shared a new song, “Save The Day.” It appears on the soundtrack to the forthcoming Disney-Pixar film Hoppers, which premieres next month. Give it a listen below.
Due out March 6, Hoppers takes place in a world where “scientists have discovered how to ‘hop’ human consciousness into lifelike robotic animals” per a synopsis. The film was co-directed by Daniel Chong and Nicole Grindle; the voice cast features Meryl Streep, Dave Franco, Kathy Najimy, Jon Hamm, Sam Richardson, and more.
In an interview with Laughing Place, Chong said he and Grindle decided to reach out to SZA for their soundtrack after using “Good Days” and “Saturn” as placeholder music in Hoppers’ credits. “I think there was an intuitiveness in talking with SZA that when she saw the movie, I think she immediately knew what the movie needed,” Chong explained.
Although SZA technically shared her most recent album, SOS, in 2022, she hasn’t been stingy with new music. A 2024 expanded edition of SOS, SOS Deluxe: Lana, featured fifteen new tracks. In 2025 alone, SZA toured with Kendrick Lamar and joined him at the Super Bowl; sang with Elmo on Sesame Street; and starred with Keke Palmer in the buddy comedy One Of Them Days. She also reunited with Lamar for the GNX track “Luther,” which won the pair a Grammy for Record of the Year earlier this month.
