Summer Walker Recruits JT Of City Girls For New Single, ‘Ex For A Reason’
‘Still Over It’ is out November 5.
Summer Walker has teamed up with JT of the City Girls for “Ex For A Reason,” the first single from her forthcoming sophomore album, Still Over It.
The Buddah Bless and Sean Garrett-produced track is the perfect blend of ear-catching mass-appeal and lyrical grit as Summer and JT fire warning shots to their unfaithful partners before recalling that they are, in fact, an ex for a reason. JT stormed onto the scene in 2018 as half of the Miami duo, City Girls; the first ladies of the esteemed label, Quality Control Music. Today, iHeart Media premiered the single across their network of hip hop stations where they will play the song every hour, on the hour.
Walker recently dropped some album news via Instagram while simultaneously teasing three songs from the 20-song tracklist: “Bitter,” “Ex for a Reason,” and “Ciara’s Prayer.” The latter features narration courtesy fellow Atlanta superstar, Ciara. In true Summer fashion, the track list includes an interesting twist. Listed alongside each title is a date signifying the timeline of the story the track will inevitably tell. Still Over It will be released on November 5 and is now available for pre-order.
Summer’s debut album, Over It, was a massive success, spending 102 weeks on the Billboard 200 and 14 weeks at No.1 on Billboard’s Top R&B Albums chart. Over It produced eight hits on the 2020 Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and, to date, the tracks have collectively generated 3.6 billion US streams.
In July 2020, Walker’s EP, Life on Earth, debuted inside the top 10 on the Billboard 200 at No.8. Summer has covered both Rolling Stone and Billboard magazine and has taken home a number of major awards from the likes of Soul Train, iHeart Music, and the Billboard Music Awards. Summer signed singer-songwriter NO1-NOAH to her imprint, Ghetto Earth Records, which is a joint venture with Interscope Records.
