SZA Releases ‘Save The Day’ for Pixar’s Hoppers End Credits

The directors recruited her after temping with her earlier songs, timing the single to build momentum before the film’s March 6 debut.

Overview

  • Released February 20, 2026, “Save The Day” serves as the end‑credits song for Disney‑Pixar’s Hoppers.
  • Hoppers opens March 6 and follows a world where human consciousness can be “hopped” into lifelike robotic animals, co-directed by Daniel Chong and Nicole Grindle with a voice cast including Meryl Streep, Dave Franco, Kathy Najimy, Jon Hamm, and Sam Richardson.
  • Chong said he and Grindle used SZA’s “Good Days” and “Saturn” as placeholder credits music before inviting her to craft an original track, noting she quickly grasped what the movie needed.
  • The single marks SZA’s first release since winning Record of the Year with Kendrick Lamar for “Luther,” extending a run that has included arena touring and a Super Bowl halftime appearance with Lamar.
  • Chip and Company reports the track credits SZA, Ben Lovett, and Rob Bisel on music, with Mark Mothersbaugh scoring the film and an exclusive die‑cut “Save The Day” vinyl available for pre‑order from Disney Music Emporium; the full soundtrack arrives with the theatrical release.
