Still Over It

After giving birth to her daughter in March 2021, the singer hinted at new music on her social media platforms. In June, Walker shared photos in the studio with artists Omarion, SZA, and producer Pharrell Williams. In early October, Walker intended on appearing at the 2021 BET Hip Hop Awards' red carpet to announce her second album. However, due to COVID-19 restrictions (which Walker had been vocal about two months earlier), she was declined entry. Therefore, she shared the album announcement on social media, revealing the details outside on a projector. Promotion On October 2, Walker shared a photo of a jewel-encrusted hard drive with "Album #2" taped on the bottom; the post's caption linked fans to a separate Instagram account (of the hard drive) further promoting the album. On October 4, the two-year anniversary of Over It, Walker released a teaser via social media, sharing a skit featuring herself and City Girls member, JT. The skit involves a phone conversation between Walker, in the same attire from her first album's artwork, and JT, who appears in jail (similar to the artist's incarceration around the time of the debut album's release). Shortly after, Walker announced the album's lead single, "Ex for a Reason" with JT, as well an incomplete tracklist. The tracklist is, according to Walker, considered a "story" and is formatted into a timeline. On October 17, Walker announced a challenge in select cities New York City, Chicago, and Atlanta, where fans can listen to the album early by attempting to break a glass case with the album's hard drive inside. The challenge has been featured heavily on TikTok. Artwork On October 25, Summer Walker revealed two official album covers on her social media platforms. The main artwork, which is for the physical release, displays the artist holding her daughter while on the phone in the kitchen. The digital artwork features Walker in a car with her hand towards the camera, fending off paparazzi. The physical artwork was photographed by Deun Ivory, while the digital artwork was taken by photographer Rolex, who notably shot the artwork for her 2020 EP, Life on Earth and singer Bryson Tiller's third album Anniversary.
