The Weeknd and SZA Are Down to Re-Record Long Lost Collab
The “Die For You” remix was confirmed to be shelved.
The Weeknd and SZA have revealed to their fans that they have an unreleased collaboration stashed.
Earlier this week, SZA confirmed that she has once recorded a remix to The Weeknd’s Starboy hit, “Die For You.” However, the track has never hit streaming services. SZA said on Twitter that she would like to re-record her vers on the track, thought it has never been officially released. In response to a fan’s Instagram comment, she said, “Lmao it’s super old but it does exist. I should re record it.” The comment received its own viral moment and it eventually made its way to The Weeknd, who seemingly agreed.
The Weeknd retweeted a post from Pop Crave with a simple two-word response, “yes please,” seemingly giving his blessing for the re-recording. SZA originally debuted the remix in October 2021 on the 18th episode of the Canadian crooner’s Apple Music Beats 1 radio show, Memento Mori. “Die For You” was a major hit, making it to the No. 12 spot on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2019, the duo collaborated with Travis Scott on “Power is Power.”
