Hey overthinkers! Bella Rios has released her new single “Overthinker,” a feel-good anthem to encourage overthinkers to live in the present. Reading too far in the future? Wanting to leave the party early because you can’t get out of your head? This song is the perfect amp-up anthem for you, then. Rios gets it, saying that “everything you say, I’ll probably overthink it.” Coming from a place of personal experience, Rios channels the pain of “not knowing where [she’s] going” into this song. Hoping to relate to others who have the same problem, Rios aims to give inspiration to those who struggle with overthinking and let them “say what [they] really mean” and not be scared to let go.
With a song coming from personal experiences, Rios touches on a couple of common experiences with overthinking. Whether it’d be wanting to leave a party early (with a cute ad-lib of “Mom, can you come pick me up?”) or having a heartbeat as heavy as a drum, the anxiety touched upon throughout the song is powerful and tells that Rios knows the experiences by heart. With an uplifting guitar riff and backing vocals that feel like a crowd uniting, Rios captures the feeling of finally letting go: the present fills up the void where “thoughts falling from the sky” used to be, and there’s a freedom never felt before. With the energy captured throughout the song, Rios’ energy and vocals throughout the song standout with every lyric sung and gets the message of the song across beautifully.
Bella Rios hails from Chicago, where her powerhouse vocals and her piano lessons started to shape her into the star that she is today. Now residing in Nashville, Rios is inspired by the artists who she grew up listening to, like Lady Gaga, Adele, and Fleetwood Mac. Throughout the first quarter of 2025, Rios has also released “Right Now” alongside “Overthinker,” showing off her pop-rock influences and the new takes she brings to the genre. With her sophomore EP on the way, Rios could see herself among artists like Olivia Rodrigo and Renee Rapp when it comes to tongue-in-cheek lyrics and catchy choruses.
