The mini-album kicks off with the pre-release single ‘Head Shoulders Knees Toes’, showcasing a more hip-hop-driven side of TWS. This single is energetic, powerful, and intense, featuring a fantastic build-up and smooth drops that make it an instant earworm.
The title track ‘OVERDRIVE’ follows with a playful concept and a fun, bouncy tempo. It’s irresistibly catchy, sweet, and charming, the kind of song that stays in your head thanks to its sticky hook and dynamic sectioning.
Next up is ‘HOT BLUE SHOES’, turning the energy up with a bass-heavy, fast-tempo track that bursts with confidence. The group’s vocal dynamics and flow make this song a total adrenaline rush.
‘Caffeine Rush’ comes next with a standout guitar instrumental and groovy rhythm that feels dreamy and mature. It’s a b-side that perfectly captures the group’s growth, one that fans will definitely want to hear live.
With ‘Overthinking’, house beats take center stage in a track that feels ready-made for the club. The vocal arrangement and seamless progression hit hard, especially during the build-up, absolutely epic and endlessly smooth.
Closing the mini-album is ‘Here For You’, a fan-dedicated single with a soft synth-pop sound. It’s cozy, warm, and emotionally resonant, the perfect ending to a heartfelt and dynamic release.
