Summer Walker puts a price on love in the luxurious music video for her latest single “Spend It.” In the Lesly Lynch-directed video, the R&B singer plans an elaborate heist. Since she can’t get back the time she wasted on a relationship, she figures, she can at least replace it with diamonds and dollars.
“Spend it on me, l love when you to spend it on me/Throw it to me, take me up in Givenchy/Before my love couldn’t be bought/But now that’s all I want,” Walker sings. “Drip me in diamonds, that’s how you make it right/Drape me in silk and we would never fight, no, no.”
The “Spend It” video features special guest appearances from P-Valley’s Gail Bean, Miracle Watts, and Brandee Evans, as well as Angela White and Eric Roberts. At the end of the clip, viral social media personality Joanne the Scammer appears to suggest the story still hasn’t reached its final chapter. In one still, a gold card flashes across the screen reading: “WhereIsTheAlbum.com.”
The website features a timer tracking the days, hours, minutes, and seconds that have passed since Walker’s last album. Just below it, the singer shared a video of studio footage overlayed with an announcement about what’s holding the album up.
“I just feel like I don’t really have the answer, like we all want to hear Rihanna’s album, but she’s not gonna tell us. She’s not sitting here giving us PSA fucking videos every five seconds,” Walker said. “I’ve been waiting on P-Valley for eternity. They’re not giving me updates. I don’t get updates about a lot of things. I’ve been wondering when white supremacy is gonna stop. No one’s gonna ever give me that answer. So I just feel like they gotta deal with the same way I have to deal with it.”
She added: “You’ve gotta let me cook. It’s actually almost done. With time, it just keeps getting better. I tried to turn this album in so long ago, and [manager] Justice [Baiden] was just like, ‘Girl, please, you’re gonna embarrass us.’ And I’m glad that he fucking really made me keep going. I’m not gonna cap I think it was gonna get this good. And now is that some shit where I’m like, ‘Wow, I love this.’ Every day we add some new shit. Now we’re down to the details.”
Walker first announced her upcoming third studio album Finally Over It in October 2024, but an official release date has not been set. The record will feature “Spend It” and the previously released single “Heart of a Woman.” Finally Over It will also mark the conclusion of the album trilogy Walker started with Over It in 2019 and continued with Still Over It in 2021.
In a review of Still Over It, Rolling Stone described the album as “the affirmation of new love that Walker’s fans have been waiting to hear for years: Lord willing, Summer Walker still has a lot of life — in love, and in music — ahead of her.”
