About the song, Monroe explains, “As a songwriter, it’s always been so interesting to see how the feeling of a song can mold and shift and shape with the years. The life of the song, versus the life of an artist. ‘Over Everything’ is one of those songs. I wrote it a few years ago with Al Anderson and Scott Stepakoff, but it feels the most real from where I’m standing now. As much as this song is about looking back, it’s even more so the attitude and feeling I have in looking ahead, ‘learning how to use my wings’ in this new chapter of my career.”
“For me, this project looks and feels like a homecoming for my soul, so we decided to take a team of creatives to the area I was raised in East Tennessee to shoot the visuals. The video for ‘Over Everything’ celebrates all the small details — down to my Granni’s quilt — that have played a part in shaping who I am.”Over the past two years, Monroe has remained busy writing and collaborating, most recently appearing on Ben Chapman’s single “Is It Ever Really Gone” and co-writing Miranda Lambert and Leon Bridges’ “If You Were Mine.” Her critically-acclaimed 2021 album Rosegold received praise from Rolling Stone, The Nashville Scene, No Depression, Vulture, Paste Magazine, Garden & Gun, Stereogum, Pitchfork and many more.
In their 2021 Best Albums of the Year coverage Vulture proclaimed, “Monroe continues to refine her talents as a writer and a vocalist while expanding her artistic palette in a batch of songs that slides from synth-pop to spectral, psychedelic R&B to gothic pop to lush, orchestral balladry to muted country rock.”
