It appears Summer Walker may not be over it, as she’s titled her third studio album, and final installment of the Over It series, Finally Over It. The Over It series also includes her first and second studio albums, Over It and Still Over It. Although many of the songs on the album explore Walker’s newfound attitude towards love, to some, it may appear as though she has some emotional work to do.
As I listened, it was clear that being “over it” isn’t a solid destination for her. Instead, it’s a changing state; she circles it, approaches it, backs away from it, and tries to define it for herself. The result is a picture of healing that is anything but linear. It’s not complete, but it’s honest in how she portrays her own contradictions.
Finally Over It Meaning
Walker seems to challenge the usual idea of being “over” someone. Rather than showing emotional distance or neutrality, she suggests you can be “over it” and still feel drawn to the same person who hurt you.
You may recognize that someone is bad for you, yet still want them, miss them, or feel connected to them. The album embraces this tension; it highlights wanting the familiar even when it’s caused you pain.
The Album’s Emotional Conflict
“Robbed You,” featuring Mariah the Scientist, is a clear example of this conflict. Mariah sings, “Every time I close my eyes, I can’t forget you,” and “I still get sentimental.” While those lines aren’t Walker’s, they reflect the emotional fatigue that permeates the album.
There’s the feeling of being pulled back into a relationship she knows isn’t good for her, yet she can’t fully let go. The person she describes often seems careless, yet she remains attached. Her self-awareness is striking; she knows exactly what’s going on, but still can’t break free.
This self-awareness continues throughout the project. In the song “1-800 Heartbreak,” Walker admits to trying not to show she cares, while also revealing just how much she does.
The tension between loneliness and hope becomes a recurring theme. She suggests reaching out to someone who won’t help her heal, knowing it’ll only reopen her wounds. This behavior is contradictory, but human. She exposes the confusing side of healing, where logic and emotion rarely match up.
“Heart Of A Woman,” released earlier as a single, captures a similar emotional struggle. “In love with you, but can’t stand your ways” sums up the exhaustion of loving someone while disliking how they treat you.
She acknowledges the urge to give up, yet she also can’t fully let go. There’s no bitterness in her tone, making the emotion feel more resigned than angry. This softness enhances the impact of her self-awareness.
The Album’s Emotional Journey
In “Situationship,” Walker explores a different vulnerability. The song raises questions instead of providing answers; why does he act as if he wants more, and why does his behavior suggest closeness that his words deny?
It’s a quiet hurt, built more on confusion than on heartbreak. This is where Walker’s honesty shines: she isn’t pretending to be unaffected or above the situation. She names exactly what it feels like to crave clarity from someone who won’t give it.
Later, in “Give Me A Reason,” there’s a shift, though it’s not a clean one. She hints at something real, something exclusive, indicating that the relationship may be more significant than she once thought. It contradicts the uncertainty in “Situationship,” and that contradiction seems deliberate. Healing and attachment don’t follow a straight path, and the emotional journey of these tracks reflects that.
“FMT” contains one of the album’s most honest reflections. She looks back on a past partner she loved deeply, someone who was “so damn fun,” and someone for whom she could never be “enough.”
Instead of chasing emotional reciprocity, she considers settling for something simple and less risky. There’s a sense of resignation, but also there’s clarity. She acknowledges how heartbreak has influenced her expectations, and what she now avoids to protect herself.
Summer Walker’s Finale
By the end of the album, the song “Finally Over It” acts as a closing statement. She claims she’s “finally over” a relationship she describes as “bipolar,” but the tone isn’t triumphant. It feels more like an acceptance than a celebration.
Throughout the album, she appears to reference more than one relationship, with two different emotional histories that have affected her in various ways. One relationship feels like something she has let go of; the other still carries its weight.
Ultimately, Summer Walker doesn’t portray being “over it” as a single, tidy moment. Instead, she gives a realistic view of how healing truly functions: slowly, inconsistently, and with more setbacks than breakthroughs.
Her album reflects the desire for something better while still feeling attached to what caused pain. It’s messy, vulnerable, and self-aware in a way that resonates with the emotional journey she’s explored throughout the entire trilogy.
