On the 15^th edition of After Dark (2022), we explore the naughty, risqué, & sexual vibes behind, “No Love” by Summer Walker featuring SZA.

Theme & Lyrics

Bitmoji Image “But if I had you back, all I wanna do is fuck / Get drunk, take drugs…” In the chorus of her Still Over It standout, “No Love” the Summer Walker adds, “All lust, there will be no lovin’ you.” So, basically, Summer doesn’t want to get in her feelings, getting emotionally attached – she just wants to have fun. Fair enough! After Dark advocates sex positivity!

Bitmoji Image Walker is joined by Grammy-nominated R&B artist, SZA, who provides her own rationale for “No Love.” “If I did it all again / I would give, like ten percent,” she sings, continuing, “You deserve, like, half of that / I’ma need my money back.” Damn, he must’ve really did her wrong! Of course, like her ‘sista in crime,’ it’s about pleasure without attachment: “Give me what I want, I don’t need it / Just CC me, just VV me, just that dick when I call / No more feelings involved, I done seen all I need to.” Again, if it’s NOT crystal clear, “No Love” is about S-E-X!

Bitmoji Image Well… there’s a little more to it. Summer Walker, who drops a third verse, is literally STILL OVER IT! Why? She’s been hurt by love – specifically a lame dude – hence why she’s embracing pleasure without connection. “Funny now that you callin’, that you ringin’ my line /… Tell me what’s changed, is it my status? Is it my fame/ Is it my pockets? Is it my change?” So, after playing around with other girls, he wants her back because of the clout, the drip, etc. NO SIR!

Final Thoughts

Bitmoji Image “No Love” is a must-hear, period. This Still Over It gem is about sex, like we like on After Dark , but what’s most interesting is why Summer Walker and SZA are in this position. Fascinating! Also, worth mentioning, how about that smooth production work by FORTHENIGHT & Sonni (BR)? They stitched up this joint for the ladies!
