“Playing Games” is a song by American singer Summer Walker from her debut studio album, Over It (2019). The song was released as the lead single from the album on August 23, 2019. The extended version features guest vocals from American singer Bryson Tiller. The song samples Destiny’s Child’s song “Say My Name” (1999).
The music video was released on October 8, 2019, and was directed by Christine Yuan.[5] Despite being featured on the extended version of the song, Bryson Tiller does not appear in the clip. The video features shots of Walker sitting and lying on a bed surrounded by bright city lights in the backdrop.[6] During the video, Walker has one man tied up and hanging from the ceiling while another one is seen being confined to a chair.[7] Being fed-up with lies, Walker goes on to ignore a man bringing her flowers and apologizing.[5]

Whip, bought it
Crib, got it
Job, on it
Did I ever
Ask you to take me to go
Shopping in Paris or go
Sailing overseas and just
Drape me in Gucci? No
All I ever asked was you to
Pick up the phone when you alone
All I ever asked was you to
Show me some love, kisses and hugs
No, I never had an issue
Go to the club with your boys, baby, I
Never wanted you to stay too long
Just wanted you to show me off
So won’t you say my name, say my name
If you claim you want me
It ain’t no thang
You acting kinda shady
You ain’t been calling me baby, oh
Boy, you can go and stop playing games
Playing games
I know you saying “hit my line”
I’m on your line, and that
You want this bad
So I’m bool with that
I’m just trying to match your words with your actions
I need more than satisfaction
Did you really a connection?
Really want to give your all
But flex in front of your friends
How that work?
Swear that you doing the most
But we take a picture, can’t post it
How that work?
When you talking
Back that shit up
Won’t you say my, say my
So won’t you say my name say my name
If you claim you want me
It ain’t no thang
You acting kinda shady
You ain’t been calling me baby, oh
Boy, you can go and stop playing games
Playing games
Games (games)
Games (oh, games)
We got London on da Track
