Overdue (feat. Travis Scott)

The song "Overdue" by Metro Boomin featuring Travis Scott delves into the themes of fame, the relentless pace of life in the spotlight, and the personal toll it can take on an individual. The repeated questioning of "My Anthonio, do you ever" suggests a longing for connection and a search for understanding from someone who might be out of reach or a metaphor for a part of oneself that has been lost or neglected in the pursuit of success.

The lyrics "Overtime and overdue" and references to a lack of sleep and being constantly on the move paint a picture of the exhausting nature of the artist's lifestyle. The mention of getting the news in the morning and the zoom of someone coming home implies a life that is constantly interrupted by work and obligations, leaving little room for personal relationships or rest. The line "I step outside, I need my piece" could signify a need for peace of mind or a moment of solitude amidst the chaos.

Travis Scott's verse touches on the excesses that come with fame, such as overindulgence in nightlife and substances, with lines like "I feel I overuse myself, I overdid myself." The song also hints at the superficial relationships and the transient nature of interactions in the fast-paced entertainment world. The collaboration with Metro Boomin adds a layer of depth to the production, with atmospheric beats that complement the introspective and moody lyrics, creating a haunting reminder of the darker side of fame and success.
