Over My Head (Toni Basil song)

"Over My Head" is a song performed by American singer Toni Basil, released in 1983 as a single from her second album, Toni Basil. While not achieving the same widespread commercial success as her previous hit "Mickey," "Over My Head" is a synth-pop track known for its energetic delivery and incorporation of street dance elements, consistent with Basil's overall artistic style.

The song's lyrics describe a feeling of being overwhelmed or out of control in a relationship, with the singer expressing a sense of being swept up in something she can't fully understand or manage. The musical arrangement features a prominent use of synthesizers and drum machines, reflecting the prevalent sound of early 1980s pop music.

Although it did not reach the same chart heights as "Mickey," "Over My Head" received moderate airplay and is remembered by fans of 1980s new wave and pop music. It is also notable for its music video, which showcased Basil's dance background and incorporated elements of street dance and performance art. The video, like her other work, helped solidify her reputation as a visual artist and choreographer as well as a singer.
