Summer Walker closes the chapter on one of R&B’s most defining trilogies with ‘Finally Over It‘, an album that feels like both a release and a rebirth. Following the emotional timelines of ‘Over It‘ (2019) and ‘Still Over It‘ (2021), this project arrives as Walker’s declaration that she’s stepping into a new version of herself, one rooted in healing, self-respect, and clarity.
The album’s structure is intentional. Split into two sides, “For Better” and “For Worse,” Walker frames the project as a final sweep of everything she’s learned about love, boundaries, and self-worth.“For Better” leans into choosing herself romantically, personally, and spiritually. “For Worse” taps into the moments where she refuses to settle or shrink herself for anyone. This framing lets the album move through different emotional registers without losing its core message: healing isn’t linear, but growth is inevitable.
Part of the excitement of the album also comes from its impressive list of collaborators. Doja Cat, GloRilla, Bryson Tiller, Anderson Paak, Latto, Sexyy Red, Brent Faiyaz, and 21 Savage all show up, and producers like The-Dream, Terrace Martin, Lil Yachty, and Nija Charles help shape a lush, modern R&B sound. The scope is larger, the features are bolder, and the sound feels like Walker expanding her world. But even with high-profile names in the mix, Walker’s writing stays intimate. She still sings like she’s talking to you directly
Summer Walker’s music has always been honest, but here, she’s more reflective than reactive. Songs like “Heart of a Woman,” the album’s lead single, lean into vulnerability while also showing a deeper understanding of herself. It’s a nostalgic, reminiscent of early 1990s R&B, heartbreak song that feels like a thesis statement for the whole project. Some of the popular tracks off the album include “Go Girl,” leans into a slow, sensual vibe, while Doja Cat and Latto glide in with verses celebrating their success and confidence. Brent Faiyaz adds another layer of groove with “Number One”. GloRilla, Sexyy Red, and Monaleo bring a gritty energy vibe in “Baller”. Each feature feels like a deliberate choice to show different sides of who Walker is becoming.
‘Finally Over It’ feels like the emotional exhale Walker has been reaching for since 2019. It doesn’t erase the heartbreak or the chaos of her past; instead, it transforms them. This is an album about choosing peace, choosing clarity, and ultimately choosing yourself, even if that choice is messy or complicated. As a closing chapter to the ‘Over It’ era, it lands exactly where it needs to: honest, reflective, and unmistakably Summer Walker.
