What is the track list for Lana by SOS?

SZA has not confirmed the track list for Lana, but has revealed it is a "whole 'nother album" that has "seven to ten songs" on its track list.
In September 2023, SZA threw a surprise album party, and she performed four new tracks:
- Saturn
- PSA
- DTM / Diamond Boy
- Boy from South Detroit
'PSA' was used as the opener for SZA's 'SOS' tour, and was released as a bonus song on the website-exclusive edition of SOS. Drive will also feature.

SZA has also revealed that the track 'Joni' - a tribute to Joni Mitchell will also be on the album.
The song was leaked by fans a few years ago, with SZA telling Variety: "‘Joni’ is on it. Well, they leaked it, so I wasn’t gonna put it on there.
"I guess I should still… but they leaked it already. They ruined it. [Fans] already have it."
What is the meaning of Lana by SOS?

In August 2023, SZA started dropping hints about an SOS deluxe, and said to Variety: "I added a couple of songs. It’s like a whole new project."
"It’s called ‘Lana’ — my name but, it’s the first tattoo that I ever got, when I was 13.
It was 10 bucks a letter and I only had 40, so that that became my nickname for no reason. ‘Lana’ is really just the B-side of SOS."
