BMF (song)

"BMF" (originally "Boy from South Detroit") is a song by American singer-songwriter SZA from Lana (2024), the reissue of her second studio album SOS (2022). It is a pop and bossa nova song that interpolates the 1962 single "The Girl from Ipanema", composed by Brazilian musician Antônio Carlos Jobim. Cheerful and whimsical in tone, the lyrics are about SZA's attraction to a handsome and dark-skinned man, whose beauty makes her want to remove her underwear. She includes references to the Slauson Avenue in Los Angeles, as well as the fictional South Detroit mentioned in the 1981 Journey song "Don't Stop Believin'".

The song was released to radio stations in the United States on January 7, 2025, as a single from Lana. It debuted at number 55 on the country's Billboard Hot 100, rising on the chart due to its increasing viral popularity on social media. The song later peaked at number 29. Elsewhere, "BMF" was a top-10 song in Southeast Asia, peaking at number 4 in the Philippines, as well as New Zealand. It reached the top 40 in Canada, Australia, San Marino, and the UK. In reviews of Lana, critics focused on the song's upbeat sound and "Girl from Ipanema" interpolation. Two were complimentary; one felt that the interpolation was out of place.
