“Over It” is a fiercely captivating triumph—raw, resonant, and bursting with emotional clarity.
Maddy Little is a name you won’t forget once you’ve heard her sing. There’s a magnetic rawness to her voice, equal parts strength and ache, that cuts straight through the noise of today’s indie scene. Based in Toronto, this emerging artist writes like someone who’s lived a thousand lives and still somehow sounds fresh, unfiltered, and fully present.
What also immediately caught our attention was how naturally she turns personal pain into collective release. There’s a melancholic undercurrent in her sound, but it still lifts, empowers, and reminds you that you're not alone in the wreckage of complicated love.
“Over It” kicks off with unapologetic urgency and a melodic punch that grabs you by the collar. From the first cymbal crash to the underlying pulse of bass and drums, the track instantly sets a tone: bold, restless, and full of emotional bite. But it’s Maddy Little’s voice, haunting, resilient, and completely locked into every lyric, that drives the message home. She doesn’t just perform the song; she lives in it. She balances emotional vulnerability with confident storytelling, letting the chaos of a toxic situationship unfold without ever letting it define her.
The line:
“but now I’m done trying to justify you're not a piece of shit”
-doesn’t just land; it explodes with cathartic energy. Following that moment is the knockout chorus:
“you keep fuckin with my head I’m over it.”
It’s a declaration, a release, and an anthem for anyone who’s ever stayed too long in a dead-end emotional loop. That moment alone is worth replaying over and over, and we did.
The production is sharp but refreshingly restrained. The priority here wasn’t slick commercial perfection but raw emotional truth. The song was recorded at Genesis Sound in Toronto, and the choice to keep things authentic, vocals forward, instrumentation clean but not over-polished, pays off big. Every element feels intentional. From the dynamic mix to the warm, lived-in texture of the recording, it’s all there, and that’s exactly what makes it hit harder.
Maddy Little shares songwriting credit with Matt Snell, Christian Turner, and Konrad Comisso. These are longtime collaborators who clearly know how to bring out the best in one another. That camaraderie comes through in every beat of this track. The song was made among friends, with genuine feelings attached. You can feel that freedom in the final product. There’s something special about music created from authenticity, even when it comes from a place of anger or frustration; it reaches people in the best of ways.
“Over It” is more than a song. It’s a full-on emotional purge wrapped in indie rock brilliance. And for us, it wasn’t just relatable; it was redemptive. One moment we’re swaying with the melody, the next we’re shouting every word like it’s our own story. That’s the magic of Maddy Little. She doesn’t just sing about heartbreak. She hands you a mirror and lets you scream your way out of it.
