Blind (SZA song)

"Blind" is a song by American singer-songwriter SZA from her second studio album, SOS (2022). It is a beatless R&B and folk-pop song, featuring an orchestral production that consists of acoustic guitars, violas, and trumpets. SZA's vocal performance combines a rap cadence and slow falsetto vocals, with added vocal runs. In the song, SZA explores the duality of love and muses on a former relationship, as she expresses her disappointment to a toxic past partner while also expressing her continued attraction to him. For the chorus, SZA admits her insecurities in spite of seeking validation through sex, feeling empty and unable to find self-love within herself as a result of a failed romance. "Blind" also incorporates several pop culture references to figures such as Bob Saget and Jesus.

Critics complimented "Blind" for its humor, orchestral production, and wordplay; some called it an album standout. The song's honest, personal songwriting was a main point of commentary, with praise for its portrayal of love's contradictory nature. "Blind" debuted at number 3 on US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, where it and two other SOS tracks occupied the top 3, and was a top-40 song in a few countries. On the Billboard Hot 100, "Blind" peaked at number 12. The song was included regularly on set lists of the SOS Tour and debuted live on the late-night show Saturday Night Live, days prior to the album's release. Weeks beforehand, a snippet of "Blind" appeared at the end of the music video for the SOS single "Shirt", which continued a trend set by SZA where she would tease unreleased music at the end of videos.
