Twelve years after its original release, Edem’s classic hit Over Again has made an unexpected and triumphant return, surging to the top of streaming charts and reclaiming its place in Ghana’s contemporary music conversation.
Originally released in 2013, Over Again was a defining record in Edem’s career—praised for its infectious rhythm, street-rooted energy and relatable storytelling. More than a decade later, the song is enjoying a second life as a new generation of listeners rediscovers it, propelled by viral trends on social media and renewed interest on digital streaming platforms.
Industry watchers say the song’s resurgence has been fueled largely by short-form video platforms, where snippets of Over Again have become popular background music for dance challenges, throwback clips and lifestyle content. The renewed buzz has translated into impressive streaming numbers, pushing the track into trending playlists and chart positions it never reached during its initial run.
Music analysts note that the comeback speaks to the timeless quality of the record. Despite changes in production styles and audience tastes over the years, Over Again has proven its staying power, resonating just as strongly today as it did in the early 2010s.
For Edem, one of Ghana’s most respected rappers, the song’s revival is being seen as a validation of his long-standing contribution to the industry. Fans and fellow artistes have taken to social media to celebrate the moment, hailing Over Again as a reminder that good music never truly expires.
The renewed success of the track has also sparked conversations about the growing influence of digital platforms in reshaping music careers, with older songs now able to find fresh audiences years after their release.
As Over Again continues to dominate charts and timelines, Edem’s unexpected win underscores a simple truth in music: classics don’t age—they wait.
