How SZA’s “Save The Day” Captures a Generation Trying to Change the World in Hoppers When I joined a select group of journalists to cover Hoppers at the Pixar campus in Emeryville, CA, we did not expect to see Daniel Chong’s film in its entirety. One of the biggest surprises, though, was learning that Grammy Award-winning artist SZA would be performing the film’s end credits song, “Save The Day.” The track serves as the film’s anthem, with lyrics that speak to this and future generations about changing the world while also acknowledging the emotional toll of caring deeply enough to try. https://thenerdsofcolor.org/2026/03/11/how-szas-save-the-day-captures-a-generation-trying-to-change-the-world-in-hoppers/
