"Naked" is the ninth track from Lizzo's fourth studio album "Special". This song was played in "Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls" during a dance to show body positivity.

"Goddammit, where do I even start? Pop Wansel made this beautiful track, and I was like, ‘If I don’t use this track, I’m going to think about this for the rest of my life. If I don’t use this beat, I’m going to think about this beat for the rest of my life.’ Initially, I wanted to write a song about how comfortable I’ve become with myself, but then I evolved as a person. And as I’ve evolved, “Naked” has undergone a lot of rewriting. It has evolved with me. So now it’s like, ‘How accepting are you of me?’ It’s very intimate. I saw Solange perform a couple years ago now at the Lovebox Festival in London, and I was in awe of her set because she had so much nuance. Meanwhile, I’m all bravado. I’m in-your-face, loud-loud-loud, full-throttle. I was like, ‘Man, on my next album, I want nuance.’ Because there’s nothing like the control that she has, the power she has in the quiet. So on “Naked”, I’m in a half-falsetto for most of the song. I’m ad-libbing here and there. I’m having a little chat. It’s under your breath. Also, I had a sinus infection when I sang this, and frankly I give the best vocals with a sinus infection."
