Now, it looks like we’re getting a single. SZA teased the cover art for a new song, “Power Is Power” on Tuesday afternoon and it’ll feature the “All The Stars” artist along with The Weeknd and Travis Scott.

Additionally, SZA has been teasing an upcoming music video with a crowned DJ Khaled, wearing fits that appear to be in preparation for a big Westeros-esque war. Given Khaled’s heavy promotion (May 17!), it’s pretty obvious this is about his upcoming album, Father of Asahd.
