Overload (Yin Lee song)

"Overload" is a single written by Chloe Wallace, Blade Holter and Patrick Freeman, produced by Swedish producer 5star and performed by Kuboian-based recording artist Yin Lee. It was initially anticipated to be the lead single for an unnamed album by Lee scheduled for a 2007 release, though the album was scrapped due to a lack of motivation on Lee's behalf, thus it became a non-album single. "Overload" was released as a single in the United Kingdom on 13th March, 2006 before being released in Kuboia on the 19th that month. It peaked at number one on the Karuboia charts, becoming Lee's only single to do.

Background
Yin Lee spoke about the song on CMTV on 22nd March, 2006 saying "It is the first single off my album which is coming next year. I don't have a name for it yet, but this is the first single." Since Lee eventually went against producing an album, "Overload" became a non-album single.

The single's B-side, "Gotta Get Through This", is a cover version of Daniel Bedingfield's 2001 single "Gotta Get Thru This". Blade Holter amended some of the lyrics of the song to match Lee's nature better.

Composition
"Overload" is in the key of D major, and has a tempo of 92 beats per minute. It is an industrial-esque trip hop song with electrionic sounds and an overall complex instrumental. 5star claims to have made the instrumental even more complicated, but toned it down since "far too much was going on".

Music video
The music video was filmed on 5th April, 2006 and premiered on the 14th that month.

The video was uploaded to YouTube on 1st December, 2006. With a view count of approximately 170 million views, it is Lee's most viewed video on the site.
