“A country song that makes you feel every second ticking down.”
With “Overtime Again,” Mitchell Broodley steps fully into modern country with a track that feels both polished and personal. The concept is simple but strong. A long-distance relationship framed through football imagery. Watching the clock. Hoping the game does not end. Praying for overtime just to hold on a little longer. It is not a gimmick. It works because the emotion behind it feels real.
The production is clean and radio-ready, but it never loses heart. Warm guitars carry the verses. The drums build naturally. His vocal delivery is steady and sincere. There is no oversinging. He lets the lyrics do the work. You can hear the ache in the quiet moments. The chorus opens up just enough to feel like a stadium light turning on, but it still feels intimate. The football metaphor gives the song structure, yet the feeling underneath is universal. Anyone who has counted down the hours before saying goodbye will understand it.
What makes the single stand out is perspective. Broodley is not chasing a trend. Raised in South Carolina and now based in Vermont, he writes from lived experience. After stepping away from an early Nashville path, he returned with more to say. That maturity shows. “Overtime Again” sounds like a man who knows what it costs to split time between love, work, and ambition. The song feels grounded. Honest. Unrushed. It is modern country with depth, and it leaves you wishing the clock would stop too.
