Overdose

About Overdose

"Overdose" is a song recorded by American singer Ciara for her self-titled fifth studio album (2013). It was written by Josh Abraham, Oliver Goldstein, Ali Tamposi, Olivia Waithe and Ciara, while its production was handled by the former two. Ciara and Kuk Harrell were responsible for the song's vocal production. Notable for its shift from her more contemporary R&B sound towards a predominantly pop-orientated vocal style for the singer, "Overdose" served as a product of Ciara's experimentation and was recognized as the purest pop track on Ciara. An uptempo dance-pop, electropop and nu-disco song, its "club-friendly" production comprises rupturing synths and gritty, automatic beats. Its lyrical content act as an ode to codependency and are based on the subject of unhealthy infatuation. "Overdose" initially leaked as an extended snippet on July 17, 2012, and then in full in June 2013. The song was originally recognized as a "fan favorite", before garnering favorable reviews from music critics, some of which went on to publish campaigns for the track be released as a single. Its accompanying artwork features Ciara's then-fiancé Future and resulted in widespread media attention for its provocative imagery. Though the song impacted urban contemporary and rhythmic contemporary radio in the United States—on September 18 and October 15, 2013, respectively—it failed to receive a full-scale single release, when its digital release was later cancelled and its accompanying music video and promotional performances failed to materialize. As a result, "Overdose" failed to enter the Billboard Hot 100 and garner success commercially. more »

You’re like a circus running through my mind
Got those sneaky eyes, what you trynna hide?
You’re like a hurricane inside my veins
But I like it babe, so bring on the break

Let me fall, let me fall, baby let me drown
Can’t breathe, can’t breathe, give me mouth-to-mouth
Got my heartbeat racing, not slowing down
Got me sweating got me I’m shaking, I’m freaking out

I took your love, think I took too much
Somebody call the doctor
Somebody call the doctor doctor (doctor)
I took it all, but it’s not enough
Somebody call the doctor
Somebody call the doctor doctor (doctor)
Don’t let don’t let don’t let don’t let go
Don’t let don’t let don’t let don’t let go
Hold me tight, I’m coming down
I need your love and I need it now
Don’t let don’t let don’t let don’t let go
Don’t let don’t let don’t let don’t let go
Somebody call the doctor before I overdose

I’m getting crazy, going back and forth
Caught inside your storm
But I want some more
I hope your kisses and your gentle touch
Come on, keep me up ‘cause I need the rush

Let me fall, let me fall, baby let me drown
Can’t breathe, can’t breathe, give me mouth-to-mouth
Got my heartbeat racing, not slowing down
Got me sweating got me I’m shaking, I’m freaking out

I took your love, think I took too much
Somebody call the doctor
Somebody call the doctor doctor (doctor)
I took it all, but it’s not enough
Somebody call the doctor
Somebody call the doctor doctor (doctor)
Don’t let don’t let don’t let don’t let go
Don’t let don’t let don’t let don’t let go
Hold me tight, I’m coming down
I need your love and I need it now
Don’t let don’t let don’t let don’t let go
Don’t let don’t let don’t let don’t let go
Somebody call the doctor before I overdose

Don’t let me overdose, don’t let me overdose
Don’t let me overdose, don’t let me overdose

I took your love, think I took too much
Somebody call the doctor
Somebody call the doctor doctor (doctor)
I took it all, but it’s not enough
Somebody call the doctor
Somebody call the doctor doctor (doctor)
Don’t let don’t let don’t let don’t let go
Don’t let don’t let don’t let don’t let go
Hold me tight, I’m coming down
I need your love and I need it now
Don’t let don’t let don’t let don’t let go
Don’t let don’t let don’t let don’t let go
Somebody call the doctor before I overdose
