Commercially, the song peaked at number three on the US Billboard Hot 100 and topped the charts of Australia, Canada, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. Music critics responded positively to the track, who gave most praise to McGraw's vocal performance. The song was later included on McGraw's 2006 compilation album Reflected: Greatest Hits Vol. 2.[2]

Critical reception

Rashaun Hall of Billboard wrote that "Over and Over" possesses "real emotion" and praised Tim McGraw's "moving" vocals.[1] Jason Birchmeier of AllMusic also complimented McGraw's hook, saying that it "works much better than it should."[3]

Music video

The music video was directed by Erik White and Nelly himself. During the video, Nelly and McGraw sing individually on split screen. It starts with Nelly and Tim both waking up at 5:30 A.M., both taking showers, and both leaving their houses & getting into vehicles. Nelly has photos of Ciara on his nightstand and in his car, and McGraw has photos of Faith Hill.[31] The settings feature similar scenes of them encountering fans at gas stations, traveling, and making visits to the airport, all the while both preoccupied with their respective significant others. In the end, they both depart on separate but comparable private jets, possibly to meet up with the women they have been singing about throughout the video.
