SZA recorded "Kill Bill" for her second album, SOS. Several of the tracks, including "I Hate U," "Shirt," and "Blind," find her upset with a toxic boyfriend. This song takes place after they've broken up and SZA is particularly enraged. So unhinged is the R&B star that she wants to kill both her ex and his new girlfriend. SZA named the song after Quentin Tarantino's martial arts duology of the same name. I might kill my ex, not the best idea His new girlfriend's next, how'd I get here? The lyrics correspond with the plot of the two 2003-2004 Kill Bill films. SZA wrote the song with her go-to producers, Rob Bisel and Carter Lang. Los Angeles producer Bisel worked on 20 out of the 23 tracks on SOS. Chicago songwriter Lang contributed to 13 of them.

I'm still a fan even though I was salty
Hate to see you with some other broad, know you happy
Hate to see you happy if I'm not the one drivin'
I'm so mature, I'm so mature
I'm so mature I got me a therapist to tell me there's other men
I don't want none, I just want you
If I can't have you, no one should

I might
I might kill my ex
Not the best idea
His new girlfriend's next
How'd I get here?
I might kill my ex
I still love him though
Rather be in jail than alone

I get the sense that it's a lost cause
I get the sense that you might really love her
The text gon' be evidence, this text is evidence
I tried to ration with you, no murders or crime of passion
But damn, you was out of reach
You was at the farmers market with your perfect peach
Now I'm in the basement plannin' home invasion
Now you layin' facedown, got me sayin', "R-I-P"

I'm so mature, I'm so mature
I'm so mature I got me a therapist to tell me there's other men
I don't want none, I just want you
If I can't have you, no one will (I might)

I might kill my ex
Not the best idea
His new girlfriend's next
How'd I get here?
I might kill my ex
I still love him though
Rather be in jail than alone

I did it all for love (love)
I did it all on no drugs (drugs)
I did all of this sober
I did it all for us, oh
I did it all for love (love)
I did all of this on no drugs (drugs)
I did all of this sober
Don't you know I did it all for us? (I'm gon' kill your ass tonight)

Oh
I just killed my ex
Not the best idea (idea)
Killed his girlfriend next
How'd I get here?
I just killed my ex
I still love him though (I do)
Rather be in hell than alone
