Still Over It contains features by JT, SZA, Ari Lennox, Lil Durk, Pharrell Williams, and Omarion. Summer Walker also used Cardi B for narration on the project’s opener “Bitter” and Ciara for narration on the project’s closer “Ciara’s Prayer.”
According to industry insiders, Still Over It is expected to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with 185,000 first-week units. That would give Summer Walker the first #1 album of her career. 2019’s Over It opened at #2.
