“Who is listening to this, honestly?”—Fans troll as SZA’s “Nobody Gets Me” hits 900 MILLION streams on Spotify

SZA just hit another massive milestone, and the internet is having a field day with it. Her emotional ballad Nobody Gets Me has officially crossed 900 million streams on Spotify. That’s right—900 MILLION. The song, which tugs at heartstrings with its raw lyrics and haunting melody, has resonated with a lot of people. And yet, the biggest question on the internet is... who’s actually listening to this?

For those unfamiliar, Nobody Gets Me is one of the standout tracks from her 2022 album SOS, an album packed with hits that solidified her position as one of R&B’s biggest stars. This latest streaming milestone makes it her eighth song to achieve such numbers. But instead of just celebrating the success, fans have taken a slightly different approach—trolling in the best way possible.

SZA’s Viral Moment on Social Media

The internet thrives on humor, and SZA’s latest achievement turned into pure comedy gold. A post announcing the 900-million-streams milestone quickly went viral—not because people were shocked at her success but because the reactions were downright hilarious.

It started with a simple yet shady question: “Who is listening to this, honestly?” As if 900 million streams just happened by accident.

Another user hyped it up in the most dramatic way possible, saying:

“This absolute smash hit! 1 milly till a billy!” (via @arianaunext on X)

Because, you know, billion-stream club members just hit differently. Then, someone took full credit for SZA’s work, claiming,

“I remember writing this song for SZA.”

Sure, buddy.

The combination of sarcastic disbelief, over-the-top praise, and classic internet trolling made the post explode across social media. Everyone had something to say, and somehow, every comment made the moment even funnier.

The funniest thing about these reactions is how they reflect the internet’s obsession with pretending to be clueless. The “Who’s listening to this?” joke is a staple at this point— it pops up every time a song hits insane streaming numbers, as if millions of people are secretly looping it in the shadows.

Clearly, a lot of people are listening, but acknowledging that isn’t nearly as fun as pretending it’s a mystery.

Then there’s the classic fake songwriter flex. Any time an artist drops a hit, someone claims they were in the studio, ghostwriting the lyrics in their Notes app like a tortured poet. The fact that it happens so often only makes it funnier every time.

And, of course, the

“How do you pronounce SZA?” (via @realcrazyvideo on X)

question is the cherry on top. For the record, it’s pronounced Sizza (like RZA from Wu-Tang), but the confusion never really dies. The joke has been floating around since she blew up, and at this point, it’s just part of the internet’s running gag.

In the end, the viral reactions only prove one thing, Nobody Gets Me is undeniably huge. Even when people are joking about it, they’re still talking about it. The more fans (and trolls) keep engaging, the closer the song gets to the billion-stream milestone.

So, if you’re wondering who’s actually listening to this, honestly? The answer is probably you.
