rdf:langString "Not only could it be used as the official anthem for national drug prevention programs like D.A.R.E., but it will inspire today's youth to train to become EMTs, nurses and [...] surgeons. 'Overdose' on the charts equals a win for American healthcare. It's a massively catchy electro-pop stormer that could and should hit Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 if promoted properly by Epic. Even if it doesn't succeed, at least Ciara can say that she came out swinging with the best song that Ciara has to offer."

rdf:langString "Overdose" is a song recorded by American singer Ciara for her self-titled fifth studio album (2013). It was written by Josh Abraham, Oliver Goldstein, Ali Tamposi, Olivia Waithe and Ciara, while its production was handled by the former two. Ciara and Kuk Harrell were responsible for the song's vocal production. Notable for its shift from her more contemporary R&B sound towards a predominantly pop-orientated vocal style for the singer, "Overdose" served as a product of Ciara's experimentation and was recognized as the purest pop track on Ciara. An uptempo dance-pop, electropop and nu-disco song, its "club-friendly" production comprises rupturing synths and gritty, automatic beats. Its lyrical content act as an ode to codependency and are based on the subject of unhealthy infatuation. "Overdose" initially leaked as an extended snippet on July 17, 2012, and then in full in June 2013. The song was originally recognized as a "fan favorite", before garnering favorable reviews from music critics, some of which went on to publish campaigns for the track be released as a single. Its accompanying artwork features Ciara's then-fiancé Future and resulted in widespread media attention for its provocative imagery. Though the song impacted urban contemporary and rhythmic contemporary radio in the United States—on September 18 and October 15, 2013, respectively—it failed to receive a full-scale single release, when its digital release was later cancelled and its accompanying music video and promotional performances failed to materialize. As a result, "Overdose" failed to enter the Billboard Hot 100 and garner success commercially.
