About Overload

"Overload" is the debut single by British girl group Sugababes. It was released on 11 September 2000 through London Records as the lead single from the group's debut studio album, One Touch (2000). At the time, the group consisted of Siobhán Donaghy, Mutya Buena and Keisha Buchanan. It was co-produced and co-written by British songwriters and producers Paul Simm, Felix Howard, Jony Rockstar and Cameron McVey. The general theme of the song involves a teenage girl's crush towards a boy and her finding the situation difficult to manage. The song was listed at 432 on Pitchfork Media's Top 500 songs of the 2000s. It received an overwhelmingly positive reception from music critics. The song features on the soundtrack to the 2001 film High Heels and Low Lifes, directed by Mel Smith, and the 2002 film 40 Days and 40 Nights, directed by Michael Lehmann. The song was nominated for "Best British Single" at the 2001 BRIT Awards and later inspired the title of the group's greatest hits compilation Overloaded: The Singles Collection. Controversy also surrounded American recording artist Christina Aguilera's song "Make Over" for "borrowing" the sound and concept of "Overload". Later pressings of Stripped included credits for Buchanan, Buena, Donaghy, Jonathan Lipsey, Felix Howard, Cameron McVey and Paul Simm. more »

Strange fear I ain't felt for years,
The boy's coming and I'm close to tears, I can't let go of you now.
Imagination's playing round for free, in my world I take him out for tea,
Oh my god, can't say no.
Skipping school, go walk for air, I just had to get out of bed,
I'm on overload in my head.

Train comes, I don't know its destination,
It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation.
Train comes, I don't know its destination,
It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation.

Life is a dream, time does come true, and in my sleep I think of you,
Feather bed by myself.
Basically probability says that fate's come side with me,
It's been so long on my shelf.

Train comes, I don't know its destination,
It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation.
Train comes, I don't know its destination,
It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation.

The tension is incredible, boy I'm in charge,
You know how I feel for you.
Will you stop, or will you just keep going,
Please don't say no, no, no, no.

Train comes, I don't know its destination,
It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation.
Train comes, I don't know its destination,
It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation.

Train comes, I don't know its destination,
It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation.
Train comes, I don't know its destination,
It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation.
