To tease the music video for "Snooze", SZA posted two behind-the-scenes footage to Instagram on August 12, 2023. Each video was set to an unreleased song. The song appeared, again, at the end of the music video, continuing a habit in which SZA would conclude her videos with snippets of incoming music. The video premiered on August 25, 2023. Directed by SZA and Bradley J. Calder, it features cameos from actors Young Mazino and Woody McClain alongside music artists Justin Bieber and Benny Blanco, all of whom play SZA's love interests. With each character, she feeds a horse, lies on grass in a park, smokes a cigarette made of cannabis, embraces in a pool of water, engages in arguments, and watches as one of them plays a video game. In one scene, SZA dances for a robot. The video was ranked as the fourth best of 2023 by Dazed's Elliot Hoste.
nd Woody McClain, pop star Justin Bieber, and producer Benny Blanco all have cameos as the singer's various love interests. In one scene, SZA even dances intimately for a cyborg. Report this ad After making his unexpected cameo in "Snooze," Justin Bieber joined SZA in an acoustic version of the song released on September 15, 2023. Scottish producer BLK Beats (Tory Lanez, Lil Tecca) co-produced the song with Babyface and The Rascals. While living in his aunt's attic in Glasgow, BLK got the call to brainstorm some ideas for SZA's Women in R&B project. "I had a makeshift studio, and I was in a bit of limbo," he told BBC Scotland. "But I made the original demo for 'Snooze' and sent it through to my friend and co-producer Leon Thomas and they expanded on the session - and the rest was history." BLK Beats originally thought the song was too laid-back to chart well. "But I was completely wrong," he said. "Which is very nice, the charts completely ate it up. SZA is just a genius and she's able to transform any record with the way she comes up with a melody. I don't think any other artist could have made that track." This won Song Of The Year at the 2023 Soul Train awards. SZA also took home the prizes for Best R'n'B/Soul Female Artist, Album of the Year for SOS, and The Ashford and Simpson Songwriter's Award (also for "Snooze"). "Snooze" took Best R&B Song at the Grammy Awards in 2024, where SZA performed it along with "Kill Bill." When "Snooze" logged its 30th week at #1 on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop radio airplay chart, it became the longest-running leader since the chart launched in April 1992. It overtook the 29 weeks that Chris Brown featuring Young Thug's "Go Crazy" spent atop the tally.
