"Heart Of A Woman" is a soulful R&B ballad that captures the messiness of romance in all its frustrating glory. The story? Summer Walker realizes her relationship is going nowhere fast, but she's just not ready to let go. She's giving her partner one last shot, knowing full well it's probably a terrible idea – but it's her woman's heart that's saving him. The song, co-written with Walker's engineer David "Dos Dias" Bishop, is every bit as deeply personal and relatable as we've come to expect from Walker. But we can only guess whether the song's about her own personal circumstances or just capturing that universal tug-of-war between the heart and the head. On the production side, Tavaras Jordan steps in. Walker's signature emotive vocals are set alongside gentle synths and snare drums, creating a nostalgic and timeless R&B sound. When Walker released "Heart Of A Woman" as the lead single from Finally Over It on October 25, 2024, it was accompanied by a lyric video starring Love Island season 6 winners Serena Page and Kordell Beckham. The clip shows the couple going from cuddling to arguing as Walker's lyrics play. The Finally Over It album is the final piece in Walker's "Over It" trilogy, following her debut Over It (2019) and its 2021 follow-up, Still Over It.

Only thing that's saving you (oh-oh)
Is the heart of a woman (oh-oh, yeah-yeah, ooh-ooh)
Only thing that's saving you (saving you, oh)
Is the heart of a woman (woman, hey-yeah, yeah)
Question is, why I do the things I do
Answer I may never find, but I'll always choose you
Wanna give up on you, but damn, I know I can't (I know I can't)
I put the blame on me for giving you chance after chance
In love with you, but can't stand this
And I try to be strong
But how much can I take?
Put your words on your life this time
And I hope your ass ain't lyin' 'cause
Only thing that's saving you
Is the heart of a woman (woman, yeah, oh, yeah)
Only thing that's saving you (saving you, oh)
Is the heart of a woman (hey-yeah, yeah)
It's my mind and my soul versus your pride
Nigga, check your ego 'cause I left mine at the door
Just because I let it slide, drowning in all my emotions
I let you slide in this ocean I'm in
In love with you but can't stand your ways
And I try to be strong
But how much can I take?
Put your words on your life this time
And I hope your ass ain't lyin' 'cause
Only thing that's saving you (no, I can't take it no more, I'm 'bout to walk out the door)
Is the heart of a woman, yeah (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Only thing that's saving you (saving you)
Is the heart of a woman (ah, ah)
