"'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. It was their first single released after signing with Sony Music Nashville and Villa 40 in the United States.

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. 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. 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. 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".

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. 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". Madeline Crone of 'American Songwriter' said the song "exhibits the band's growth while honing their craft in Nashville". 'Top Country' named "Over All Over Again" their "Pick of the Week" for August 8, 2021, noting a "bluesy undertone".
