SZA gets cozy with Justin Bieber, Benny Blanco, more in new 'Snooze' music video

SZA dropped a new music video for song "Snooze" Friday, and it features more than a few recognizable faces.
Directed by Bradley J. Calder and Solána, the video offers glimpses into a series of fictional failed romantic relationships between SZA and multiple men – and a robot.
Featuring Justin Bieber, actors Woody McClain ("Power Book II: Ghost," "The Bobby Brown Story"), Young Mazino ("Beef") and producer/songwriter Benny Blanco (Bieber, Ed Sheeran), the video doesn't shy away from the weird side of romance.
The initial scenes for the hit song, from her chart-topping album "SOS," begin by telling the story of happy couples featuring with SZA and each man: the singer and Bieber relaxing in a bedroom, McClain captivated by a sexy dance she performs for him in a gym, a picnic on a farm with Mazino and Blanco eating fries dipped in ketchup off of her naked back.
Each scenario quickly breaks down, leading to aggression and arguments that end the relationships. All the men are kicked to the curb except for a vaguely humanoid robot donning a baseball cat. Sitting in an armchair in what appears to be an empty gym, the robot is seduced by an alluring SZA and two backup dancers as the video draws to a close.
It's yet to be determined, it seems, if that relationship will end up working out.
As the video concludes, the scene switches to another previously unreleased song, accompanied by a clip of SZA and a man, presumably a lover, dressed entirely in white running to embrace each other in the middle of an open field. It ends with shots of SZA, now alone, stripping down to her underwear as a night vision camera follows along.
Along with the video, SZA also released a "Snooze" four-track bundle, which includes instrumental and sped-up versions of the song.
"Snooze" is the fourth No. 1 Billboard hit from SZA's triple-platinum album "SOS," preceded by tracks "Kill Bill," "Shirt" and "I Hate U."
The musician is also preparing for the second leg of her North American tour, which kicks off Sept. 20 in Miami. Other stops include New York, Houston and Los Angeles before the final show in Phoenix on Oct. 29.
