Over My Head is a rock song performed by Anglo-American music group Fleetwood Mac. The song was written by group keyboardist/vocalist Christine McVie. In December, 1975 "Over My Head" was released as the lead single from the LP album entitled Fleetwood Mac. It was the first song ever by the band Fleetwood Mac to achieve 'hit' status in the United States by appearing on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart (#20 in early 1976). Its success helped the group's eponymous 1975 album to sell 4,5 million copies.[1] McVie wrote the song in a small apartment in Malibu, California, after completing a concert tour to promote the previous Fleetwood Mac LP album Heroes Are Hard to Find. McVie composed the song using an old, upright piano. It is thought by some that she wrote the song about her marriage to then husband, Fleetwood Mac bassist John McVie. The single version of the song was a re-mixed, edited version that is noticeably different than the version appearing on the Fleetwood Mac album.
