SZA had up to 200 songs for Ctrl. Her label took the hard drive away so she would stop.
The album was promised for 2015, then 2016, and in October 2016 she said she would quit. She freestyled her vocals and cut back hard; Rick Rubin told her, “The more you take away from any piece, the more room you create for everything else.” Her mother and grandmother speak between the songs. Ctrl has spent more than 400 weeks on the Billboard 200.
