• In "Over," Lindsay Lohan is struggling with one of those relationships that's just not working out but is too hard to let go. She's asking the guy to end it so she can move on.
  
  In 2014, 10 years after the song was released, Lohan revealed that it's about the That '70s Show actor Wilmer Valderrama. There were rumors they were an item early in 2004 when Lohan was 17, and on her 18th birthday (July 2, 2004) they came out as a couple. He was 24.
  
  As Lohan explained on The Ellen Show, they were living together when the relationship crumbled and she wrote the song.
  
  "I was really upset," she said. "That song I'd written like the day after [their breakup] and we were still living together. I sang it in his house - tortured him just recording the song so loud in his house. I was filming Herbie [Herbie: Fully Loaded] at the same time. There was a lot going on."
• Lohan wrote the song with the song's producers, Kara DioGuardi and John Shanks. DioGuardi spent about two months with Lohan working on "Over" and other songs for her 2004 debut album, Speak. "Part of my job is to be almost a psychologist," she told the Los Angeles Times. "They have to trust you, that you're going to listen to what they have to say and help them say it in a way they'll be proud of."
• The music video was directed by Jake Nava and inspired by the 1999 film American Beauty. Nava's other credits include "If I Were a Boy" by Beyoncé and "She Wolf" by Shakira.
• Months after this song was released, Ashlee Simpson had a hit with a song called "Boyfriend," in which she addressed Lohan and tells her, "I didn't steal your boyfriend," referring to Wilmer Valderrama. Simpson waited until 2018 to reveal this, however.
  
  In a strange twist, Simpson wrote "Boyfriend" with Kara DioGuardi and John Shanks, the same people who wrote "Over" with Lohan. DioGuardi says she had no idea Simpson's song was about Valderrama or had anything to do with Lohan.
