The song 'Overstarted in Kentucky' began as an electronic piece not initially intended for VHS or Beta. After showing it to Mark, it was reconsidered for the album 'Diamonds and Death', where it was transformed with guitars to fit the band's style. The song features simple lyrics and was intended to resemble a car song with a big chorus. Initially, it had a commercial rock influence, akin to a Katy Perry song, with heavy synthesizers. Ultimately, it evolved into a pure pop song.
