The show is known for its stellar soundtrack. The first season's songs were curated by none other than Solange Knowles, and the second season's soundtrack featured new songs from SZA and Jorja Smith. And, this isn't the first time she has held a contest surrounding her hit HBO show. Following Insecure's first season, she held a contest asking best friends to apply together to be Production Assistants on the second season.
