Give Me a Reason Lyrics – Summer Walker & Bryson Tiller

In the velvet trenches of modern R&B, where heartbreak hums like a late-night confessional, Summer Walker reigns as the queen of unfiltered ache, her whispery alto turning relational wreckage into sonic silk. Her third studio album Finally Over It, the triumphant capstone to the “Over It” trilogy, arrives November 14, 2025, via LVRN/Interscope—a sprawling 18-track odyssey split into “For Better” and “For Worse” discs that clocks in at over an hour of soul-baring introspection.

Fresh off the introspective vibes of “Still Over It” (2021) and her 2022 EP “Clear 2: Soft Life”, Walker, the Atlanta-raised tattoo artist turned chart-topper, dives deeper into love’s labyrinth: from euphoric highs with star-studded collabs to the raw grit of solo reckonings. It’s a project pulsing with growth—think SZA’s vulnerability meets Jhene Aiko’s serenity, laced with trap-soul edges and features from heavyweights like Chris Brown, GloRilla, Latto, Mariah the Scientist, Brent Faiyaz, Teddy Swims, 21 Savage, Anderson .Paak, and Bryson Tiller. As Walker shared in a Rated R&B interview, it’s about “closing the chapter with grace and fire,” making “Finally Over It” the ultimate breakup-to-breakthrough soundtrack for a generation scrolling through therapy TikToks.

Swooping in as track 9 on the “For Better” disc, “Give Me a Reason” teams Walker with longtime vibe curator Bryson Tiller for a 3:45 duet that’s already stoking prerelease frenzy on Spotify previews and X threads. This isn’t just a feature; it’s a reunion of R&B’s moody monarchs—echoing their sultry chemistry on 2019’s “Playing Games (Extended Version)” but matured into something more pleading, more precarious.

Finally Over It isn’t closure—it’s combustion, Walker’s boldest yet with discs that mirror love’s duality: the “For Better” sparks of hope and the “For Worse” storms of survival. In a post-pandemic R&B landscape craving authenticity, this album positions her as the voice of velvet-edged resilience, ready to shatter streams and mend hearts.
