"BMF" (formerly "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 bossa nova song that interpolates "The Girl from Ipanema", a 1960s single composed by Brazilian musician Antônio Carlos Jobim. The lyrics contain an allusion to "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey, both referencing the fictional location of South Detroit. "BMF" was originally going to feature American singer and rapper Lizzo.
The song was released to radio stations alongside "30 for 30" on January 7, 2025, as the third and fourth singles from Lana. It debuted at number 55 on the US Billboard Hot 100, reaching a new peak of number 29 the following week. "BMF" reached top 10 peaks in Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, and Singapore.
