SZA's sophomore studio album, "SOS," has enjoyed much commercial success, and she's just about to sweeten the pot by adding several more tracks.

A deluxe version of "SOS" might not come as a surprise to some fans anymore, since the singer has revealed before that she recorded about a hundred songs for the mega-hit album.

"There are still songs that didn't make the album that I wanted to make the album, but that's what Deluxe and things are for, so we'll see," SZA told Most Requested Live.

"Sometimes it's 10 songs that didn't make the cut, so we'll see. I'm going to throw them all out there because ... No one can say I didn't give the music. So when I disappear for another five years, there will be more. There will be more to speak for me."

"SOS" comes five years after its predecessor and the debut studio album "Ctrl," which was dropped in 2017.

She definitely took her sweet time with "SOS," but the wait was worth it because it is currently the reigning album on the Billboard 200 charts for a good month now.

Possible Collaborators

SZA was vocal about how she originally planned to have more collaborators for "SOS," but it did not work out the way she had expected.

Several of the artists she had enlisted to work with her on the album, did not turn in their parts of the song.

She also previously reacted to her supposed collaborators ghosting her, "But also, in the same token, it's like, 'Damn this sucks, I really needed you. I wish you showed up for me'."

With the deluxe version of the album now on its way, fans are hopeful that the songs that originally did not make the cut in the album's current 23-tracklist would include more collaborators.

According to reports, the singer confirmed that PSA and Boy From South Detroit will be included this time around.

An artist that was also named, but remains unconfirmed whether they will be on the album or not-Lizzo.

On the other hand, several artists who were invited to work with the 33-year-old, but just did not come to fruition include Doja Cat, Harry Styles, and Frank Ocean.

As of this writing, there isn't any news of when exactly SZA is planning to drop the deluxe version of the album, but many suspect that it might happen sooner rather than later, in hopes that she could include the new songs in her upcoming tour's setlist.
