"Over All Over Again" is a song recorded by Canadian country group James Barker Band. The song was co-written by the band's frontman James Barker, along with Gavin Slate, Travis Wood, and producer Todd Clark.[1] It was their first single released after signing with Sony Music Nashville and Villa 40 in the United States.[2]

Background[]

The band's frontman James Barker wrote "Over All Over Again" with his co-writers during a two-day locked-down writing session in Nashville, Tennessee during the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] He said it "felt like the right song at the right time" to be their first single on a U.S. label with Sony Music Nashville and Villa 40.[4] Barker noted inspiration from Ronnie Milsap's "Smoky Mountain Rain", viewing at as a "refreshed" version of the band's music and their introduction to Nashville.[5] He said there is a "kind of blueness to it from the darkness of the chords and melody, but the tempo keeps it clear of any gloomy territory".[4]

Critical reception[]

Caleigh DeCaprio of NY Country Swag stated that while the song speaks to a "relatively more serious situation" than the band's previous music, it contains the "effortlessly flawless vocals" and "unique sound and style" from the band.[6] Katrina Milich of Complete Country called the track the "perfect song to blast while driving with the windows down", saying it is "fun and upbeat but so relatable".[7] Madeline Crone of American Songwriter said the song "exhibits the band's growth while honing their craft in Nashville".[8] Top Country named "Over All Over Again" their "Pick of the Week" for August 8, 2021, noting a "bluesy undertone".[9]
