Overtime (EP)

Speaking about the new sound for the EP, member Jean Paul Makhlouf said;

{{quote|"It's a fresh sounding EP. We tried some new stuff with it and are very proud of the way it turned out. There's a good balance between electronic breaks and pop hooks. We did this really cool thing with kid gang vocals in 'Overtime', 'Satellites', and 'Kiss The Sky'. It kinda connected those 3 songs. The female vocals on 'Take Me Home', 'Here and Now', and 'Hideaway' brought those three together. It made for a very cohesive EP that we are really excited about."{{cite web|url=https://raverrafting.com/cash-cash-jean-paul-makhlouf-interview/2013/11/25/|title=Jean Paul Makhlouf Fills Us In On Cash Cash's Past & Present|author=Tyler Almodovar|date=November 25, 2013|access-date=October 13, 2022}}}}
