"Overheated" (stylized as "OverHeated") is a track by Billie Eilish included on her sophomore studio album Happier Than Ever. It is marked as explicit.
Theme[]
This song calls out annoying paparazzi, 'plastic bodied-people', and supports Billie's bravery and redemption. After the song transitions from the previous fat-shaming ridicule of Not My Responsibility, OverHeated resumes with even more confrontation and strength as Billie claims that while overcoming annoying papparazi following her, she is 'overheated', but that she cannot 'be defeated' or 'deleted' from the internet or from people's minds.
Spotify Synopsis[]
“ | We took the production from Not My Responsibility and made it into a beat and then wrote OverHeated and it's really just about the same thing—y'know—why the fuck is it such a shock that I look like all of you? And I think that that's the funny thing—is the internet—y'know—you feel so powerful and somehow invisible at the same time but everybody sees it, you say crazy stuff on the internet thinking "Ah, nobody will see it". It's really just about the insanity of paparazzi and articles and comment sections and TWITTER! | ” |

Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I don't really even know how it happened
I started talkin', they started laughin'
I don't really even know how it happened
I started watchin' them photographin'
I don't really (I don't really) how it happened
Instead of stoppin', they still were flashin' (I don't really)
I started walkin' (I don't really), gave no reaction
(No reaction)
[Chorus]
I'm overheated, can't be defeated
Can't be deleted, can't un-relievе it
I'm overheated, can't bе defeated
Can't be deleted, can't be repeated
I'm overheated
I'm overheated
[Verse 2]
I don't really wanna know why you went there (Why you went there)
I kinda don't care (Kinda don't care)
You wanna kill me (You wanna kill me)
You wanna hurt me (Mmm)
Stop bein' flirty (He-he-he)
It's kinda workin'
Did you really think this is the right thing to do?
(Is it news? News to who?)
That I really looked just like the rest of you
[Chorus]
I'm overheated, can't be defeated
Can't be deleted, can't un-relieve it
I'm overheated, can't be defeated
Can't be deleted, can't be repeated
I'm overheated
[Bridge]
And everybody said I was a letdown
I wish only better like everyone else now
But I didn't get a surgery to help out 'cause I'm not about to redesign myself now (Now-now, now-now)
All these other inanimate bitches it's none of my business
But don't you get sick of posin' for pictures with them
Plastic body, man
[Chorus]
I'm overheated, can't be defeated
Can't be deleted, can't un-believe it
I'm overheated, can't be defeated
Can't be deleted, can't be repeated
I'm overheated
I'm overheated
