"Prove It" is a song by British-American rapper 21 Savage and American singer Summer Walker. It was sent to US rhythmic radio through Slaughter Gang and Epic Records as the third and final single from the former's third studio album, American Dream, on June 4, 2024.[1] Produced by ibmixing, Coupe and Tye Beats, the song contains a sample of "You Are My Joy (Interlude)" by Faith Evans.
The song received generally positive reviews from music critics. Robin Murray of Clash remarked that the song has a "beautiful feature from Summer Walker", which he described as among the most creative moments in American Dream.[2] Teejay Small of HotNewHipHop also praised Walker's performance, describing it as "heavenly vocal".[3] Grant Rindner of Variety cited the line "Talk about me in your stories / Bae, sub-tweet me" as one of the album's "standout bars".[4] Matthew Ritchie of Pitchfork had a mixed reaction to the song, writing it "falls short of the intrinsic charisma produced by the likes of a Busta Rhymes and Mariah Carey collaboration: 21's materialistically vapid bars are washed away by Walker's runs, which feel as though they belong to one of her emotionally charged ballads."[5]
