Summer Walker reflects on her toxic relationship through her soulful R&B album

R&B artist Summer Walker's album "Still Over It" is an album that a lot of women who have been through messy toxic relationships can relate to. The artist herself is throwing some serious shade at the man from her own personal relationship of 2 years. This man, London on Da Track, was not only her boyfriend, but also her music producer, and the father of her child. After listening to this album myself, I feel that it consists of the various emotions in the process of undergoing and accepting a bad breakup. It consisted of deep anguish about her sadness, but also contempt and insults toward her ex, and also motivating short speeches and prayers for healing and self-love.

I enjoyed Summer Walker's vocals in this album as well as the message she was trying to send to her listeners, specifically for the women who have been or are currently in similar positions she was in. I thought that it was a nice touch that Summer Walker included features from other women to give empowering messages, such as Cardi B and Ciara.

The main element of Walker's album is conveying sadness, of course, as that is the strongest and rawest emotion during the entirety of a toxic relationship, from the start of the toxicity lasting until even long after the relationship has ended. Summer dedicated several songs with a melancholic slow tone to describe these emotions.

For example, looking at the lyrics from her song, "Broken Promises" they describe Walker's pain in her partner's betrayal and lies toward her.

I just don't know how I can take it 'Cause my heart is breakin' I've been mistaken You're not the man I thought you were And they tried to warn me Yeah, they tried to warn me, me (warn me)

These lyrics clearly describe the heartbreak that Walker is feeling because of London, and they show her realization of her friends and family having "warned her" about him, and her ignoring them and choosing him instead. In fact, Walker has talked about this and once again, sent a message to her listeners out there in an interview: “Take this opportunity to learn from my mistakes. You don’t have to guess if something is love. Love is shown through actions. Stop making excuses for people who don’t show up for you. Don’t ignore the red flags. And don’t think you have to stay somewhere ’cause you can’t find better—you can and you will. Don’t settle for less—you don’t deserve it and neither does your family.”

Another emotion that Walker conveys is contempt toward her ex, which is another strong emotion after being the victim in a relationship. Looking at the lyrics from another song in the track, "4th Baby Mama", Walker opens the song with more of an offensive stance toward London.

I wanna start with yo' mama, she should've whooped yo' a** Know you ain't sh*t, but she don't care 'cause you lit

This was definitely an entertaining way to embarrass London for his mistreatment, and the viral memes demonstrated her success in doing so. I think the frustration expressed in this song is something a lot of her listeners can relate to feeling, including wanting to insult their partner's mothers for the way they raised them.

However something that I saw a bit off with this album track was the inclusion of the song "Ex For a Reason" because the message behind it did not fit in with the rest of messages from the other songs in the track. It was released as a single, but interestingly enough, it is also still offically a part of the album which to me does not seem to belong there. This is because "Ex For a Reason" is an upbeat song talking about how the speaker is comparing herself to her partner's ex and insulting her.

Looking at the chorus of the song, the lyrics say:

That b*tch your ex (your ex), for a reason though (reason though) Try me, trespass Guaranteed to beat yo' a** (oh, oh) That b*tch your ex (your ex), for a reason though (reason though) It's too much for her heart to take I give no f*cks 'bout what she gotta say (no, woah)

Although this song is very catchy in my opinion and a nice change of pace from the flood of slow depressing songs in the rest of the album, the lyrics simply leave me confused after hearing the messages about a toxic relationship from the other songs. In these lyrics, Walker is clearly putting down her boyfriend's ex by calling her a "b*tch" and even threatening to beat her up. This is ironic to me because it seems like Walker would be the toxic partner here, yet her album is calling out her ex London for being toxic. Therefore, although it is a great song, I felt that its placement in this album may not have been fitting.

Overall, Still Over It was well-deservingly a successful album, breaking the record for biggest album release by a female artist due to the empowering theme for women behind it. It had different elements to it, giving features from other powerful role models to motivate women, from Cardi B's pep talk about self-love to Ciara's prayer for healing, as well as the deep emotions that every woman can fully understand and relate to from a relationship at some point of their lives. I would recommend this album for any woman to listen to if they are feeling down and need something to relate to in the moment, or someone to inspire them to forget their toxic ex and work on themselves instead.
