lyrics

Songfacts®:

"Over" finds Lucky Daye trapped in a toxic relationship where there seems to be no escape. Every time the singer thinks they've finished their romance and tries to get closure, she pulls him back in.
Lucky Daye uses the word "over" in several ways to illustrate the emotional torment of the on-again, off-again romance.

He thought the relationship was over.

Now they've split, he's thinking his feelings over about his ex.

Though they've broken up, she doesn't stop calling him. It's the same pattern, over and over again.

His phone is ringing, over and over. He cannot get away from his lover.
Dernst "D'Mile" Emile produced the track. The New York producer's other credits include Khalid's "My Bad," H.E.R's "Fight For You," and Silk Sonic's "Leave The Door Open."
D'Mile built his production around the guitar melody of Musiq Soulchild's 2002 single "Halfcrazy."
Daye recorded "Over" for CandyDrip. He conceived the album out of a series of jam sessions over the course of a few days in Los Angeles. "Over" is a snapshot of those recording sessions.
Daye released "Over" as the lead single from Candydrip. It became the R&B singer's first Hot 100 hit when it entered the chart dated April 2, 2022, at #92.
