"Over You" was written by Chris Daughtry and Brian Howes, who also co-wrote previous single, "What I Want".

Chris' quote on the meaning of "Over You": You're with somebody for a really long time, and you pretty much think that this is the person you're gonna spend the rest of your life with, and then they drop the ball on you.
