Conan Gray - Overdrive
[Verse 1]
Only met on the weekend
Said I'm not catchin' feelings
Oh, I guess I lied
Divin' off of the deep end
I can't think of a reason
We should take our time
Ah-ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
All or nothin'
Let's just trust the night
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
Burnin' down the street, no left, right, left, right
I don't wanna see no red light, red light
Fast lane on the beat, go ten, five, ten, five
You right next to me, feel the heat
Goin' overdrive
Goin' overdrive, yeah
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I know you're a stranger
But I'm likin' the danger
Of the "I don't know"
Don't give a fuck about labels
Throw thе dice on the table
And just let 'em roll
Ah-ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
All or nothin'
Let's just trust the night
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
Burnin' down the street, no left, right, left, right
I don't wanna see no red light, red light
Fast lane on the beat, go ten, five, ten, five
You right next to me, feel the heat
Goin' overdrive
Goin' overdrive, yeah
[Bridge]
All or nothin'
Let's just trust the night, night
All or nothin'
You're my ride or die
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
Burnin' down the street, no left, right, left, right
I don't wanna see no red light, red light (Red light)
Fast lane on the beat, go ten, five, ten, five (Ten, five)
You right next to me, feel the heat
Goin' overdrive (Oh-oh-oh)
Goin' overdrive, yeah (Ooh)
Goin' overdrive (Overdrive)
Goin' overdrive, yeah (Ooh)
“Overdrive” was found on the music streaming application Trebel by fans in July 2020, 7 months before the song’s release. On February 11th, 2021, Conan uploaded an unknown countdown to his website, and a link to pre-save unknown music. The next day, he released a teaser on his social media accounts for a new song coming the next week. The song’s name was revealed in another teaser two days before its release. Lyrically, the song is about living in the moment, and experiencing love without any worries about what will happen next. "I wrote “Overdrive” to escape reality. I’ve spent the entire past year moping around alone in my house. I wanted to make something to get me to dance, something to belt in the shower. Every time I’d turn it on to tweak the production or change the lyrics, I’d end up singing along and forgetting why I was so stressed. That’s exactly what I hope this song is for people who listen: a moment of reckless abandon and catharsis in a world filled with inhibition." - via Apple Music
