Blending vulnerability with poetic flow, “overdosed” is a chill yet impactful listen that lingers long after it ends.
At its core, “overdosed” is built around a minimalist lo-fi beat—soft piano loops, ambient textures, and hushed percussion—that gives Yo.shi’s voice room to breathe.

The track is a perfect fit for fans of artists like Noname, Arlo Parks, or 070 Shake, who blend mellow vibes with emotional truth.
Lyrically, “overdosed” unpacks themes of wistful self belief with elements of self-doubt, and the heavy weight of unspoken pain of losing it all. The chorus aches with simplicity, and the verses cut deep. While Yo.shi may be new to the scene, their ability to translate complex feelings into accessible poetry is something that feels seasoned and sincere. It’s rare to see such maturity in a debut single, and it’s exactly what makes this track unforgettable.
For an artist still building their presence, Yo.shi’s sound already feels refined and emotionally intelligent. “overdosed” doesn’t try to do too much—it knows what it is: an emotional release wrapped in sonic softness. There’s something incredibly promising about how confident and self-aware Yo.shi’s artistry feels, and it’s easy to imagine them becoming one of the standout names in Australia’s alternative rap and R&B space.
