SZA 'Nobody Gets Me' Meaning: Was It About Her Ex-Fiancé?
According to Song Meanings, SZA has been lowkey with her love life as she didn't reveal more information about her dating history to the public.
The only two people fans know she dated were Drake for a brief moment and a non-celebrity man named Scott Sasso.
However, the song "Nobody Gets Me" details her connection with someone she was reportedly previously engaged to but their relationship didn't work out despite being together for 11 years.
Based on the timeline, SZA started dating the said person before she dropped her album "Ctrl" in 2017. The song explores her career blowing up as she admitted going "on the road" left her lover "feeling empty" while her popularity skyrocketed.
