Over and Over was the first single from Hot Chip's Mercury Music Prize nominated second album The Warning. It was released twice in the UK in 2006 - first getting to #32 in March and getting to #27 in October.

The single was rated as the Track of the year in 2006 by UK music magazine the NME. [1] It described it as "a rhapsodic, DFA-sized slice of smart pop." [2] Pitchfork described it as "mechanical...crunchy" [3]. The track first appeared in December 2004 on a studio mix by Radio Soulwax. The mix was broadcast in Australia, the UK (as the Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1), and in Belgium (as Hang The Year 2004 on Studio Brussel).

It featured in Combat, an episode of Torchwood in 2006, and is currently the title music for the BBC's The Culture Show. The Magic Numbers covered the song for Radio 1's Live Lounge.

The cover art is by Wallzo and Owen Clarke and matches the other releases from The Warning.
