Mabel has teamed up with 24kGoldn on her gleaming new single, “Overthinking.”
The track was produced by Stargate (Rihanna, Katy Perry) in LA and offers an escapist but unflinchingly honest snapshot of when club culture meets social anxiety. “Without you, I can’t feel the heat of the night,” Mabel sings on the song. “I burn all day without you/I can’t feel those butterflies.”
“Tired of getting stuck/Wish that I could fast forward,” 24kGoldn adds. Later, he raps: “Paranoia, I got something spinning in my head.”
According to Mabel, “Overthinking” deals with “is about how quickly things can turn from thrilling to toxic.” “Many people suffering from mental health disorders self-medicate and I too went through a time when I turned to drugs to numb my feelings,” she explained in a press release. “I hope that anyone that may resonate with this song knows that after the darkness comes the light.”
