A brief, intimate sketch of desire without urgency. SZA moves through the song with a conversational ease, asking for patience and acceptance of her own pace: affection without pressure, touch without haste. The production sits back, letting her voice carry the weight of small, honest requests. The hook catches on a single image: "I wanna be a percolator", a slow build, a gradual warming. It's a song about the pleasure of taking time, of not rushing into anything, of being allowed to exist in a state of becoming rather than arrival. There's vulnerability in that admission, and a quiet insistence on her own terms.
"Percolator" is a track by SZA, from the album Ctrl (Deluxe), released 9th June 2022. It's filed under R&B/Soul. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about SZA.

The singer reflected on her Maplewood upbringing after receiving the honour at a ceremony hosted by Danny DeVito.

Victoria Monét’s 22-song ‘Frequency of Love’ will feature Bruno Mars, SZA, Bryson Tiller, Leon Thomas, Chlöe, Lucky Daye and Hazel Monét.

From Taylor Swift’s vault to SZA, Kid Cudi, The 1975 and Hayley Williams, these collaborations offer five routes beyond Phoebe Bridgers’ best-known group projects.

The R&B collaborators link up ahead of his album 'Oh yeah?'.

There’s a pop dungeon where artists live, sometimes for years, where they say, “it’s coming!” about an album that’s in the works (ahem, Rihanna, ahem, Sky Ferreira). SZA did a stint down there after releasing her cult and critical fave debut ‘Ctrl’ in 2017.
A great leap forward from now indisputable pop superstar.
