Teen country sensation Bailey James has released “Over You” as her latest single. Arriving in the wake of “Swore I Was Over It” and “Bitter,” this uptempo rocker marks the prolific young songstress’ third single of 2021.
With incredible guitar riffs accompanied by a rhythmic piano part, “Over You” is a true country rock hit. The high-energy intro sets the tone for the rest of the song. James rides its wave for the entirety of the track, never letting the beat falter or the music slow. The verses’ gorgeous harmonies showcase her unbelievable range. The 18-year-old’s old-school voice is smooth as whiskey.
“Over You” isn’t your typical country anthem about pickup trucks and dirt roads. It’s also not your typical breakup ballad with woe-was-me lyrics and gentle guitar. This is a feel-good anthem for the strong-willed and independent. The lyrics are about being able to leave an unworthy lover in the dust without needing to find a rebound. In the chorus, James cleverly asserts that anyone who thinks she “needs another lover to get under, to get over you” is “dead wrong.” No more crumpled-up tissues and running mascara –– this song will make you forget all about your ex and empower you to find strength within yourself instead.
