SZA Wins Best R&B Song Grammy for “Saturn”
SZA has done it again. On Sunday evening, she won Best R&B Song at the 2025 Grammy Awards for her hit track Saturn.
This win marks her fifth career Grammy, coming just a year after she secured her first four in 2024. The award cements SZA’s status as one of R&B’s most powerful voices.
The song, which blends soulful melodies and introspective lyrics, was also nominated for Best R&B Performance. It peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100 and later appeared on Lana, the deluxe edition of her chart-topping album SOS.
SZA isn’t just dominating music. She’s making waves in film and is set to take on one of the biggest stages in entertainment: the Super Bowl halftime show.

Saturn isn’t just a song—it’s an experience. It’s the kind of track that lingers in your mind long after it ends.
