Overtime is the second extended play recorded by American electronic music group Cash Cash released on October 29, 2013 through Big Beat. The EP was made available for streaming exclusively via Dancing Astronaut on October 28, 2013.[2]

Background

Speaking about the new sound for the EP, member Jean Paul Makhlouf said;

"It’s a fresh sounding EP. We tried some new stuff with it and are very proud of the way it turned out. There’s a good balance between electronic breaks and pop hooks. We did this really cool thing with kid gang vocals in "Overtime", "Satellites", and "Kiss The Sky". It kinda connected those 3 songs. The female vocals on "Take Me Home", "Here and Now", and "Hideaway" brought those three together. It made for a very cohesive EP that we are really excited about."[3]

To support the EP, the group announced a North American tour that began in October 2013.[4]

"Overtime" was released in November 26, 2012 as the first single from the EP.

The song peaked at number 57 on the Billboard Hot 100 and sold 488,000 downloads in the US to date according to Nielsen SoundScan.[9] The song was certified platinum by RIAA in June 2017.[10]
