"Over and Over" is the first single from Hot Chip's second studio album The Warning. It was released twice in the UK in 2006 – first reaching number 32 in March and number 27 in October.

The music video, directed by Nima Nourizadeh, features the band members in what appears to be a heavily special effects-laden production, effects which are rarely seen in the video, instead having the band members performing in a stylized green screen stage, with several bored-looking assistants in green bodysuits holding props (at one point, in an attempt to recreate a bicycle ride, moving trees around to create an illusion of movement). The video was preloaded on all first generation Zune 30 devices.

The cover art, designed by Wallzo and Owen Clarke, uses the same pattern present in many of the other releases from The Warning.

The track first appeared in December 2004 on a studio mix by Radio Soulwax. The mix was broadcast in Australia, the UK (as the Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1), and in Belgium (as Hang The Year 2004 on Studio Brussel). The US release of "Over and Over" occurred on 29 November 2005 on DFA/Astralwerks. The B side, "Just Like We (Breakdown) [DFA Remix]", did not chart. The song was released in the UK for the first time on 27 February 2006 on EMI and was re-released in the UK on 9 October 2006.

NME described "Over and Over" as being an "insanely catchy kitchen-sink club-stomper". The lyrics "Laid-back? We'll give you laid-back" were described as a "thinly-veiled raised middle finger to detractors who considered them 'too chilled'".NME also described it as "a rhapsodic, DFA-sized slice of smart pop."Allmusic said that "Over and Over"'s "pulsing groove [is] suggestive of old stuff (Liquid Liquid) and new (the Rapture, WhoMadeWho)".
