After releasing an EP earlier this year, SZA is sharing a brand-new single that you might be able to hear live on the tour that she, additionally, just announced.

“Sobriety” is a collaborative effort (production by Chris Calor, Cody, Thundercat, and Sounwave), but the story it tells is all her own. The chimes, low bass lines, and steady drum beat set a quietly bold tone as she sings about her struggles with sobriety and being alone. But “I’ma be fine,” she reminds us, and she does seem to be grooving along.

Listen to the track and check out her tour dates below—SZA will be on the road with Jhene Aiko and Odd Future’s The Internet for much of December.
