Summer Walker releases ‘Heart of a Woman’

The R&B superstar drops a lyric video featuring Love Island season six winners Serena Page & Kordell Beckham

Grammy-nominated R&B superstar Summer Walker returns triumphantly with her long-awaited single “Heart Of A Woman” via LVRN/Interscope Records. Slated to appear on her upcoming album Finally Over It, the R&B-tinged record speaks to the frustration and angst Summer is dealing with in her relationship. Despite the constant back and forth with her beau, Summer’s heart refuses to relent, singing: “Wanna give up on you but damn I know I can’t / I put the blame on me taking chance after chance. The lyric video reflects Summer’s piercing lyrics as Love Island USA‘s Season 6 winners and couple Serena Page and Kordell Beckham showcase the ups and downs of their relationship and how deep their burning love is.

Summer recently teased “Heart Of A Woman” when she announced her third album, Finally Over It. The project will complete the revered trilogy that has defined Summer’s superstar career in R&B. It will serve as the follow-up to her Billboard 200 chart-topper, 2021’s Still Over It, and her seminal debut album, 2019’s Over It.

Last year, Summer kept busy, dishing out guest features for Usher (“Good Good”) and 21 Savage (“Prove It), performing the latter on the SNL stage when the Atlanta rapper appeared as a musical guest in February 2023. She also released her EP Clear 2: Soft Life featuring J. Cole and Childish Gambino. Clear 2: Soft Life was nominated at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards for Best R&B Album the following year. She followed that up with nominations at the NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Duo, Group or Collaboration and Outstanding Soul/R&B Song with Usher’s “Good Good.” That song was also nominated for Best R&B Video at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, which Walker attended in September.
