"Overrated" is the debut single and the first song taken from Siobhán Donaghy's debut album Revolution In Me and her first away from Sugababes. It was co-written by Donaghy, producer Cameron McVey and Paul Simms. The single reached #19 in the United Kingdom and remains Donaghy's biggest hit single and only top forty hit to date. The single also charted in Australia, Ireland and the Netherlands.

The title of the single, "Overrated", is a play on words on Sugababes' debut single, "Overload."

Reviews

Reviews for the song were mostly positive. Ryan King wrote in UKmix.org: "It's slightly more downbeat than you might expect, but it grows on you, and the sound is fairly unique." "Overrated" is the first taster and shows that her wonderful deadpan vocal delivery is intact and as alluring as ever. Its accusatory lyrics (“The pain’s overrated/The chains so serrated/And the truth? Well I don’t know, do you?”) clearly address her messy departure from the Sugababes, said Tom Edwards on drownedinsound.com.
