"Diamond Boy (DTM)" is a song by American singer-songwriter SZA from Lana (2024), the reissue of her second studio album SOS (2022). It is an R&B love song, with a musical structure that features a call and response technique. Each instrument is arranged intentionally around SZA's vocals, which are delivered softly and melodically. The instrumental consists of guitar plucks, drums, keyboards, and a sub-bass bassline. In the lyrics, the narrator seductively expresses her passionate devotion to a lover, whom she compares to a shiny diamond. She invites him to be physically intimate, though she asks him if she is "doing too much".

"Diamond Boy (DTM)" is the fourth track of Lana, released on December 20, 2024. The song peaked at number 60 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. Over a year before its release, it was previewed in the outro for the music video of the single "Snooze". A few critics wrote positively about the song in reviews of Lana, praising it for its production and the lyrics' relatability. Before its official release, SZA performed "Diamond Boy (DTM)" multiple times from 2023 to 2024. She played it in full for the first time in 2025, during her co-headlining Grand National Tour with rapper Kendrick Lamar.
