"Overdrive" is a song by French DJ duo Ofenbach featuring American singer Norma Jean Martine. It was released on 6 October 2023 through Elektra France and marks their second collaboration, following "Head Shoulders Knees & Toes" (2020).

Background and composition

Following the commercial success of "Head Shoulders Knees & Toes" in 2020, the duo and Martine came together for a second time to work on more music.[1] "Overdrive" prominently samples "Cambodia" (1981) by Kim Wilde. The original melody was slightly revamped and sped-up by the duo, making the final song sound "brighter" and "more energetic" than the original. Making of the song was partially uploaded to TikTok ahead of the release.[2]

Talking about the sample choice, de Rummel revealed that Lauduique has always been a big fan of the song and proposed to do a cover version one day. De Rummel agreed but intended to "do something different with it", which eventually led to the collaboration with Martine.[3]

Music video

An accompanying music video was shot in November 2023 and first teased by the duo on their social media on 13 November.[4]
