Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Willow's song "Overthinking IT" touch on the topic of mental health challenges and the struggle to stay focused amid an overload of thoughts. The artist reflects on the difficulty of being present in the moment, wanting to be in different places at once and feeling overwhelmed. The chorus talks about needing to take a step back and breathe, reminding both herself and the listener that it's important to focus on the present moment and not let endless overthinking take over. The artist also acknowledges the challenges that come with dealing with mental health issues, such as feeling "crippled" by one's own mind.


The second verse addresses the pressure of having to balance different aspects of life, like work and relationships, and acknowledging that it can be daunting to have so much "work to do" and "love to give" at the same time. The following verse directly addresses the listener, encouraging them to also take a break from overthinking and simply "chill" for a moment. The final verse ends on a note of empowerment, urging the listener to remember that they have the power to shape their own destiny and be whoever they want to be, regardless of any obstacles they may face.
