'Smoking on My Ex Pack' speaks positively of her own sex appeal and negatively of her ex-lovers, reveling in SZA's braggadocious, taunting persona: one lover has his penis ridiculed. With the track, she experimented with more lyrically and sonically aggressive music, making a foray into hip hop. Disillusioned, she conceived 'Smoking on My Ex Pack', among other songs, to combat such narratives, which she believed was stereotyping of her as a Black woman. Before the album's release, SZA was viewed as an R&B artist who made melancholic music aimed at a female audience, or 'sad girl music'. It is one of the album's three rap tracks, built around hard-hitting drums and a sped-up sample of a 1980s ballad. ' Smoking on My Ex Pack' is a song by American singer-songwriter SZA (pictured) from her second studio album, SOS (2022).
