From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Over You" is the third main single (the fourth overall) from Daughtry's debut album. It was first announced by Chris Daughtry at Summerfest 2007. The song was originally rumored as the second single due to the fact that it was voted the fans choice for second single on a poll on the band's site, and has continuously received the most votes for favorite song off of the album on the band's site.
[edit] Song meaning
In a radio interview, Chris Daughtry said the song is a breakup song about the difficulties of getting over someone, until one day you finally do ("The day I thought I'd never get through, I got over you"). Chris' quote on "Over You"'s meaning:
| “ |
You're with somebody for a really long time, and you pretty much think that this is the person you're gonna spend the rest of your life with, and then they drop the ball on you. Then you think it's over, your life is done, and then somebody better walks in. [1] |
” |
The music video showed a different interpretation of the song, using the lyrics as being about getting over an alcohol addiction, opposed to a really bad breakup.
[edit] Chart performance
The single was released to Top 40 radio July 24. It quickly began getting heavy airplay from many stations, including New York's Z100. It debuted at #94 on the Billboard Hot 100, and peaked at #18, becoming the band's third top twenty hit on the chart. It is also their third top twenty hit in Canada, and their third top forty hit in New Zealand. On the U.S. Adult Top 40, it is the band's third top three hit. In addition it has so far sold 945,500 in digital downloads.
