When SWV released “Weak” in 1992, it became the anthem for every girl who ever lost her composure in the presence of someone who made her heart skip.

But underneath its sweet harmonies and flawless runs, “Weak” is a confession — an emotional unraveling of what it feels like to give in to love, to lose your cool, and to risk your balance for something that feels bigger than logic.

In this episode of I Talk To Myself Sometimes, Antoinette unpacks the language of surrender that shaped so many 90s love songs — the vulnerability, the longing, and the quiet ache that comes with being seen and undone.

In this episode you’ll hear:

• A lyric-by-lyric reflection on SWV’s “Weak” and its emotional layers

• How the song redefined feminine softness and vulnerability in 90s R&B

• The way love once felt like falling — and how we now understand that fall differently

• Reflections on emotional safety, trust, and the risk of romantic surrender

• What happens when “weak in the knees” becomes both a thrill and a warning

For anyone who’s ever been caught between strength and surrender, this one hits deep.

“Weak” isn’t just a love song — it’s a mirror for what happens when we let love teach us, test us, and touch the parts we keep guarded.
