"Save the Day" is an upbeat-yet-emotional ballad that has SZA reflecting on change...as well as appreciating the past. "Caught in the friction / I'm on a mission / Here's to hopin' there's still a way / In position, full of conviction / Miss Tunnel-Vision to save the day," she croons in the song's chorus.
Hoppers takes place in a world where “scientists have discovered how to ‘hop’ human consciousness into lifelike robotic animals” per a synopsis. The film was co-directed by Daniel Chong and Nicole Grindle; the voice cast features Meryl Streep, Dave Franco, Kathy Najimy, Jon Hamm, Sam Richardson, and more.
In an interview with Laughing Place, Chong said he and Grindle decided to reach out to SZA for their soundtrack after using “Good Days” and “Saturn” as placeholder music in Hoppers’ credits. "I think there was an intuitiveness in talking with SZA that when she saw the movie, I think she immediately knew what the movie needed,” Chong explained.
Although SZA shared her most recent album, SOS, way back in 2022, she hasn’t been inactive in the music industry. A 2024 expanded edition of SOS, SOS Deluxe: Lana, featured fifteen new tracks. In 2025 alone, SZA toured with Kendrick Lamar and joined him at the Super Bowl, sang with Elmo on Sesame Street, and starred with Keke Palmer in the buddy comedy One Of Them Days. She also reunited with Lamar for the GNX track “Luther,” which won the pair their recent Grammy for Record of the Year.
