Lizzo's New Album Special Is Your Go-To Source For Empowering IG Captions
“I've been twerkin' and makin' smoothies, it's called healing.”
Three years after dropping her iconic, star-making album, Cuz I Love You, Lizzo is heating up the summer of 2022 with new music — and it’s about damn time! For months fans have patiently awaited the drop of the album that gave us the TikTok-dominating hit “About Damn Time,” and now the wait is finally over. On July 15, Lizzo released her fourth studio album, Special, and it’s giving fans everything could dream of and more. In particular, Lizzo’s songwriting is on a whole new level of cheeky-but-empowering cleverness, which means there are so many lyrics from Lizzo’s Special that are basically made to be used as your next Instagram caption.
Special features tracks that speak to Lizzo’s experience as someone that doesn’t fit the unrealistic image society places on women; each song is a reclamation of what beauty really means. As expected, many of the tunes are upbeat and catchy, though there are a few slower songs that really cut to the core of Lizzo’s emotions. It all builds up to the album’s final song, “Coldplay,” which samples the eponymous rock band’s 2000 hit “Yellow.” Coldplay frontman Chris Martin even joins Lizzo for the song’s chorus, making the track a perfect album closer.
What would a Lizzo album be if fans didn’t get some next-level lyrics to drop as Instagram captions? Luckily, Lizzo got the memo and did not disappoint. 12 songs, 60 lyrics = endless possibilities and I can prove it with these empowering captions.
