"Overdrive" is a song by American singer-songwriter Katy Rose from her debut studio album, Because I Can (2004). Rose wrote the song with her father Kim Bullard, who also served as its producer. V2 Records released it as the album's lead single on July 28, 2003. A pop rock song, it was inspired by Rose's feelings of angst and self-discovery as a teenager. "Overdrive" was featured on the soundtrack to the teen comedy film Mean Girls (2004).
Writing and inspiration
[edit]"Overdrive" was written by Rose, at the age of fourteen in collaboration with her father, Kim Bullard. The New York Times described the song as a "paean to the beauty and beastliness of growing up too fast in Southern California."[1] In an interview with Affinity, Rose stated that the song acted as a "cathartic little capsule for the angst and self-discovery I was blasting off into as a teenager in LA".[2]
Critical reception
[edit]Aaron Latham of AllMusic criticized the song, stating that "it is unfortunate that the production style [of the album] is so hooked into the angry teen girl sound of the moment that it makes an interesting song like the single 'Overdrive' sound banal".[3] Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine described the song as "catchy," stating that it is "a trite condemnation of Californication".[4]
Music video
[edit]The music video was directed by Sophie Muller in California.
Use in media
[edit]The song was used in the films Thirteen and Mean Girls. It was also used in the TV series Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, One Tree Hill and Joan of Arcadia.
