"Another lie?": Fans LOL as SZA claims 'Drew Barrymore' was inspired by Barrymore

The Grammy-winning singer SZA appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show on Monday. SZA expressed her admiration for the actress and spoke deeply of her. She broke down in tears and shared the touching backstory of her 2017 single, "Drew Barrymore."

The song wasn't only an homage to the adored actress, unlike what many people think. The song, which is featured on SZA's highly acclaimed album Ctrl, was influenced by Barrymore's distinct energy and had a significant impact on SZA's personal journey. However, social media tells the opposite thing. One of the netizens wrote that she was telling another lie.

SZA and Drew Barrymore had a very candid discussion about the potent crossover between art and individual experience. Their sincere respect and emotion-filled conversation demonstrated how an artist's work may be influenced by life's setbacks and victories.

The singer revealed that the song wasn't only named after Drew Barrymore; it was inspired by her. She clarified that the carefree vibe Barrymore had given her throughout her childhood had a profound impact on her and even served as the inspiration for her attire.

SZA continued by talking about the difficulties of being a young Black woman and the absence of role models in her life at the time, which she had written in a letter to Barrymore but never sent. In SZA's words:

"It was inspired by you. It wasn't just titled after you. The energy that you carry-even my outfit is inspired by the way you've made me feel my entire life, like, carefree... You don't understand. I wrote you this letter that I never sent you, but it talked about how, I guess, you know, when you're younger and you're a black woman, there's not a lot of examples all the time."

However, as soon as the video went viral, social media was flooded with fans' comments, reactions, and memes. As we all know social media is a strange place to be, nothing remains simple here. People couldn't help but laugh at the ridiculousness of it all, while others doubted whether SZA was speaking the truth or just making it all up.

The comment area resembled a full-fledged comedy act. When it comes to transforming even the most poignant situations into a blend of perplexity and hilarity, the internet never lets you down. Isn't that just part of the charm?
