What it is
The lead single from Summer Walker's debut studio album Over It, released in August 2019. Its chorus interpolates Destiny's Child's Say My Name. Walker addresses partners who take her passion for granted while refusing to acknowledge the relationship publicly, including on social media, and the video shows her fed up with lies. An extended version features Bryson Tiller.
Where to find it
Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music (widely available); the official video (released Oct 2019) is on Summer Walker's YouTube channel; an extended version features Bryson Tiller.
