Summer Walker’s breakout single “Girls Need Love” changed the trajectory of the R&B singer’s career. Reaching No. 8 on the US Hot R&B Songs chart and racking up 5,000,000 RIAA-certified units, the hit song brought Walker to national attention and put her debut mixtape Last Day of Summer on the road to a No. 44 debut on the US Billboard 200 and a Gold certification. Today, Walker announced that to celebrate the mixtape’s fifth anniversary, she’s releasing a full collection of “Girls Need Love” remixes on October 20.
Girls Need Love (Girls Mix) will be released as an EP, complete with features from Victoria Monét, Tyla, and Tink, as well as an acoustic version. She shared the Apple Music exclusive video for the latter today as well. In it, she wears a Winnie The Pooh onesie as she performs in a sleepover-themed performance. All her bandmates also wear animal onesies as they play the groovy, stripped-down version of her breakout hit.
While Summer is focusing on celebrating the five-year anniversary of Last Day of Summer, she’s still working on new music. Most recently, she collaborated with fellow Atlanta R&B singer Usher on his new single “Good Good” and with Bakar on “Hell N Back.”
Girls Need Love (Girls Mix) is out 10/20 via LVRN and Interscope. You can pre-save it here.
It appears that we are in for another remix treat! Summer Walker dropped a subtle hint about an upcoming remix for “Girls Need Love,” in a recent video post. In this intriguing clip, she can be seen taking on the role of a therapist, seated in a therapy chair. Accompanying her in the video is internet personality Terri Joe, who plays a part involving distress over unreturned text messages from a man. In a comically melodramatic manner, Joe seeks advice from Summer Walker. “I don’t know what to do,” Joe says. “He not answering my calls, he not answering my texts … like.”
Amid Joe’s theatrics and her teary cries, Summer maintains an unflinching demeanor, responding with a nonchalant “Damn.” She then proceeds to reveal a Spotify R&B playlist to Joe, declaring, “This is what you need.” As the camera zooms in on the playlist, the first song listed prominently is “Girls Need Love,” with Victoria Monet. This cryptic video snippet has ignited speculation and excitement among fans, as it strongly suggests that a remix of “Girls Need Love” is on the horizon. Although no release date has been announced, fans are excited.
