Lizzois serving up some déjà vu in the music video for her new single, “2 Be Loved (Am I Ready).”
The 34-year-old singer dropped the video for the clip on Monday. It begins with Lizzo recreating the wedding scene from her 2017 “Truth Hurts” video, down to the same wedding dress and everything.
Things take a turn soon after that, though. Rather than go through with the ceremony, this time the songstress bolts, running away from the altar as she recognizes, “I’m good with my friends / I don’t want a man.”

“2 Be Loved (Am I Ready)” is from Lizzo’s latest albumSPECIAL, which was released last month.
SPECIALcame out swinging with a No. 2 overall debut, also becoming the No. 1 top-selling album the week of its release and hitting No. 1 on theBillboardpop albums chart. Also on the album is the chart-toppingTikTok sensation"About Damn Time," Lizzo’s first single from the LP.
Last month, in aninterview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music, Lizzo spoke about her inspiration behind “2 Be Loved (Am I Ready).”
“The song is a callback to when pop records had key changes — that golden era of late-’80s and early-’90s pop when singers had massive records that were vocally impressive but also danceable, and the production quality was very intentional,” she said.
“I think it’s a work of art,” she added, “It’s a masterpiece."'
