The enigmatic captions accompanying the photos simply read, “LANA.” While SZA has not provided a release date for the deluxe album, fans couldn’t contain their excitement and began speculating about what “LANA” could entail. 

Fans were quick to analyze the details in the photos, noticing that in one of them, SZA is pictured wearing a blue jersey with the number 15, sparking speculation.
