“Over Again” follows a story told many times before in the artists own life, the repetition of a relationship and of the cycle that inspires it. Alex Sandra records her need for this person, the regret associated with it, and the eventual caving towards it again and again just as such dynamics occur in life. She doesn’t state the repeating defeat with that initial regret, though, instead she’s writing from the perspective of giving in. The audience has caught her at a moment of inspiration to see them, to do it “over again”, and so, she writes from a positive perspective and gleefully invites them.
The song begins at the start of this rotation, with her admitting her own fault in her reacceptance of this person, she sings slowly about second chances and excuses with an acoustic guitar backing her. This doesn’t last long though, her voice slowly picks up and grows in its passion, as do her instrumentals, changing from acoustic to electric and gaining a heavy percussion. Not only does she change the meaning of her words with tone, but with an entire change in genre from pop to alternative. It’s this creativity and subtle cleverness which gives “Over Again” such a specific flavor of skill.
