"Open Arms" is a song by American singer-songwriter SZA (pictured) from her second studio album, SOS (2022). It is an acoustic ballad backed by a guitar, featuring vocals from American rapper Travis Scott and a skit from SZA's deceased grandmother, Norma Rowe. A song about trying to stay with an ex-lover, "Open Arms" is addressed to a subject whom the narrator eventually leaves to fix her self-esteem despite persistent feelings of self-attachment. The song is SZA's fourth collaboration with Scott, whose uncharacteristically gentle delivery on his verse was received positively by critics. A solo version of the song was released on January 5, 2023, as a track on the website-exclusive digital edition of SOS. 📝 "Will you hang me out to dry?" 04:17, 29 October 2023 (UTC) 📝 "Will you hang me out to dry?" 02:09, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Thanks for all the great SZA songs, Elias. I tend to run just one 21st-century pop or Billboard song per month, and it's largely up to the TFAR voters which one will win ... I don't have a preference. - Dank (push to talk) 16:48, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
