Have you listened to Lizzo's highly-anticipated fourth studio album Special yet?! The Grammy Award-winning powerhouse vocalist is back with her meticulously-curated 12-track record, released through Nice Life and Atlantic three years after her career-defining Cuz I Love You. Blending disco pop with playful rhythmic rap, the Detroit native boss b*tch never ceases to blow fans away with her raw talent, IDGAF attitude, and exceptional artistry. Lizzo wrote over 160 songs before choosing the LP's final track list, subsequently stating in the project's “very special message” that she hopes to inspire listeners to love onto others through her music. Some of the album's best songs include the tracks “2 Be Loved (Am I Ready),” “Break Up Twice,” “Grrrls,” “Special,” “Coldplay,” “The Sign,” and of course the chart-topping promotional single “About Damn Time.”

I did the work, it didn't work, That truth, it hurts, goddamn it hurts, That lovey dovey sh*t, was not a fan of it (Nah-ah) I'm good with my friends, I don't want a man, girl I'm in my bed, I'm way too fine to be here alone (Too fine) On other hand, I know my worth, And now he callin' me (Rrr), why do I feel like this? What's happened to me?
Dance the night away (Keep your p*ssy poppin', pop those percolates) Everybody's gay, yeah (It's a happy place in here, baby, you're safe) We can take our mask off We can all ball and parlay I can hardly wait (At 3 a.m. my freak come out the cage)
I can have any man I want But I never had nobody with a love like you It would be a shame not to see this through Who gon' put up with your Gemini sh*t like I do? Hahaha
And we promised to make up Even if it's gon' take us all of our lives I'm willing to give it another try We need to do this like love's on the line I'm real, loving takes time
It's bad b*tch o'clock, yeah, it's thick-thirty I've been through a lot but I'm still flirty (okay) Is everybody back up in the buildin'? It's been a minute, tell me how you're healin' 'Cause I'm about to get into my feelings How you feelin'? How you feel right now?
Oh, I've been so down and under pressure I'm way too fine to be this stressed, yeah Oh, I'm not the girl I was or used to be
Goin' to sleep, holdin' hands at the sunrise Wakin' up, holdin' hands in the rain I feel so goofy, I don't really do this But with you, it's healin' how I feel pain
It made me sad, I cried Singin' Coldplay in the night Dancin' to no music just feels right with you
I accept the things that I can't change about you But can't accept the fact that I can't change myself too Wish I could fall in love with me so easily like you did Being good to me like I am someone else seems so backhanded
When the world can't love me to my face When the mirror lies and starts to break Hold me close, don't let me run away Don't be afraid
