Over It (Katharine McPhee song)
"Over It" song" and she did not want her "song to be something
that [she] was a part of."[2]
In the song, McPhee sings over a sultry beat driven by
acoustic guitars about letting go of the person one loves
because one does not share the same feeling. The narra-
tor complains about how their lover cheats on them, and
is betraying their trust.
The song is somewhat tongue-in-cheek in that
McPhee describes several qualities about her ex-
boyfriend, while at the same time she seems to fixate on
them, showing she is not fully over him.
