“Go Gina” was first debuted at Sza’s show in Portland and then performed again a couple of weeks later at Coachella. It was also performed again during her live streamed performance at Jose Cuervo and Afropunk’s No Cuervo No Cinco event May 5th, 2016

In a Breakfast Club interview, SZA explains that the song ties in to the character, Gina (portrayed by Tisha Campbell-Martin) from the 1992 sitcom Martin. SZA believes that if the character Gina didn’t work so much and just had a good time like her friends, then she would have a more fun and enjoyable life.

“Go Gina” is used two different ways in this song. The most important line in the first verse is the last line….“you bring me out of character everytime again..” She is referencing whoever it is that has been talking about her or saying things about her that are not true. “Damn Gina” was also used on Martin in a negative way. When she would make Martin mad or mess something up, Martin would say….“Daaaaammmmnnn Ginnnnaaa” as if to say, here you go again. Now look back at the first verse and you get the sense that she is saying “Damn Gina” like here you go again with your stuck up self, talking about me when I’m doing me and living my life.“ “Them jeans must be uptight” simply references how stuck up the person is and “get right” means they need to relax and go until they actually GET RIGHT, with themselves and learn how to live a little.

The second verse is SZA explaining that she is free to do whatever she wants. Perhaps, she used to be like Gina, uptight and now she is doing her. This is where “go gina” is used in the positive, like a praise, a compliment, the way Martin used to say….“you go girl!”
