Composition
"Overload" is a pop and R&B song with elements of soul and hip hop. Amy Raphael of The Observer described it as a "smoothly produced, seductive R&B track". According to the digital sheet music published by EMI, the song is written in the key of F-sharp major using common time, at a tempo of 98 beats per minute. The Sugababes' vocal range in the song spans from the higher note of F#3 to the lower note of G5. The song's line, "Train comes, I don't know its destination", is sung in "minor key harmony". Matthew Horton of Virgin Media noted that the song contains "huffling beats, honeyed vocals and surf guitar".

Famous quotes containing the word composition:
“Every thing in his composition was little; and he had all the weaknesses of a little mind, without any of the virtues, or even the vices, of a great one.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“Pushkin’s composition is first of all and above all a phenomenon of style, and it is from this flowered rim that I have surveyed its seep of Arcadian country, the serpentine gleam of its imported brooks, the miniature blizzards imprisoned in round crystal, and the many-hued levels of literary parody blending in the melting distance.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“The naive notion that a mother naturally acquires the complex skills of childrearing simply because she has given birth now seems as absurd to me as enrolling in a nine-month class in composition and imagining that at the end of the course you are now prepared to begin writing War and Peace.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
