“Over My Head” is a downtempo pop song chronicling the singer’s frustration over her partner, who is constantly highlighting their knowledge in areas she can’t understand. The song was originally supposed to be the band’s second studio album’s lead single, but it was ultimately scrapped.
The song’s...
[Intro]
Over my head, over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head, over my head
[Verse 1]
There's only static on TV in this hotel room
Reminds me of all the things you think I don't understand
It seems like you and me, we keep losing connection
Whenever you talk to me, it doesn't make any sense
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't know what you meant, it's always over my head
Yeah, over my head
Yeah, it's so
[Chorus]
Over my head, over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head, over my head
Is it too late, too far gone to fix this?
Over my head, over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head
[Verse 2]
You take the simplest thing and always complicate it
Talking in circles, got me dizzy like a merry-go-round
It shouldn't be so hard to have a conversation
I'm sick of fighting with your ego, I wish you would admit
[Pre-Chorus]
But I don't understand, it's always over my head
Yeah, over my head
Yeah, it's so
[Chorus]
Over my head, over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head, over my head
Is it too late, too far gone to fix this?
Over my head, over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head
[Bridge]
So tell me, tell me
Tell me all the things that you are thinking, thinking
Tell me what it is that I am missing, missing
Don't want this to slip right through our hands
Don't want this to go
Over my head, over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head, over my head
Is it too late, too far gone to fix this?
Over my head, over my head, over my head
[Chorus]
Over my head, over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head, over my head
Is it too late, too far gone to fix this?
Over my head, over my head, over my head
Oh, over my head
Over my head
Oh, over my head
Over My Head was written by Cara Salimando & Graham Sierota & Jeffery David & Leroy Clampitt & Noah Sierota & Paul Shelton & Sydney Sierota.
Over My Head was produced by Leroy Clampitt.
Echosmith released Over My Head on Fri Mar 16 2018.
According to Songfacts, vocalist Sydney Sierota explained the making of the song to Billboard:
It was interesting to do a song that was a lot more honest about feeling you get when you’re…not so excited about life.
She also explained the meaning of the song:
Certain days, it feels like it’s more...
This was one of the last songs we wrote. It’s about being in a relationship where you can sometimes miscommunicate and end up hurting each-other.
We wrote this song with our producer Jeffery David and a few other writers Big Taste, Cara and Paul Phamous with whom we never worked with before. It end...
Relationships. Communication is everything and something we all struggle with.
We did this in 4 different writing sessions, which is something we’ve never done before.
We love this video!! We had the chance to work with Sophie Muller and we couldn’t say no to that! She’s done massive videos but more importantly she did an amazing job on our video.
We shot this in an area in Granada Hills where there’s nothing but amazing mid century homes. It was a blast!
Funny...
