CherelleK’s “Done with the Talkin” is for Every Bad Bitch Who’s Over It

So, let me set the scene.

It was Sunday morning and my mind was still spinning from Saturday night, but my soul was buzzing with that “I’m the main character” energy. I had makeup smudged on my pillow, a text from my situationship saying “wyd,” and a fridge full of nothing but expired oat milk and half a bottle of rosé. As I contemplated doordashing a Venti Blonde Roast to help with the pounding in my head, I turned on my Bluetooth speaker, and hit play on a track my girl sent me at 2:13 AM with just three words: “THIS. IS. US.”

That’s how I met her.

CherelleK.

And this track? “Done With the Talkin’”? Baby, it walked in like a stiletto stomping on broken promises.

From the first bar, she doesn’t ask for attention—she takes it. “Done with the talkin / It’s time for the walkin” — that’s a warning. You either get in line or get out the way. This isn’t some soft, wistful breakup ballad where we cry over a manchild who couldn’t text back. No, this is savage rebirth. This is for every girl who’s thrown on lip gloss and rage after deleting a number for the final time.

There’s something sexy and dangerous about the way she spits, “I ain’t scared / I’m coming zilla / Not to compare / Red hair like Priscilla” — she’s conjuring her own mythology. She’s bigger than the drama, louder than the whispers, and hotter than the tea.

I laughed out loud when she said, “Weight watchers bitch / Please get to dialin,” because let’s be real—who among us hasn’t wanted to drag a frenemy from the group chat straight into the group therapy circle?

But what I really felt was that middle stretch, where the flex gets vulnerable in the most delicious way. She starts peeling back the layers:

“Lemme calm down before he get to callin / Cause I know that he stay on crawlin…”

Like, damn. That one ex who still watches your stories and reacts with a 🔥 like it’s gonna fix shit? Yeah, he lives here now. Rent free. But CherelleK doesn’t just name the ghosts, she exorcises them.

There’s this rhythm in her rhymes that makes you wanna strut around your apartment in thigh-highs and a robe with nothing underneath, like you’re starring in your own revenge fantasy. It’s giving Lauryn Hill attitude, Lil’ Kim swagger, City Girls audacity. She knows she’s the moment. Hell, she is time itself—rewriting it, rewriting you.

And the production? It’s slick and stripped down, with just enough bounce to make your hips move while you’re flipping off every guy who ever fumbled your worth. That 90s influence runs deep—there’s something so nostalgic in the way she balances bars with melody, that rap-soul fusion that makes you feel both hardcore and holy.

She ends how she began: “Done with the talkin / It’s time for the walkin.”

Full circle. Mic drop. No apologies.

And me? I texted “nah, I’m good” to the man who wasn’t, and put that shit on repeat.

So if you’ve ever loved too hard, healed too loud, or walked away looking hotter than ever—this one’s for us.

Play it loud. Strut like you mean it. And remember: the talking’s done, babe. It’s our time to walk.
