"Over" is Chvrches' first new release since their Screen Violence: Director's Cut album that included three additional tracks arrived in October 2021, and was written with Oscar Holter (The Weeknd, Charli XCX, Coldplay and BTS).

Chvrches say of the single, ""Over" is a song that we wrote with Oscar Holter, a producer we really respect and admire. Normally we collect songs over the course of months (or years!) until we have an album's worth of material, but this time we just wanted to release something we were excited about and give the fans something new to mark the end of the Screen Violence era, and the start of whatever the next Chvrches chapter might be."

After releasing their Screen Violence album in August 2021, Chvrches covered Avril Lavigne's "I'm With You", and covered Gerard McMann’s "Cry Little Sister" for Netflix's Nightbooks.
