"Overseas" is a song by the American rapper Ken Carson. It was released by Opium and Interscope Records on April 12, 2024, as the lead single from the deluxe edition of his third studio album, A Great Chaos (2023). Carson wrote it alongside the song's producers, Esko, Lucian, Lukrative, and Nick Spiders. After Carson was sent the song's instrumental, he found affinity with it and developed an idea for the song. The single's cover art was inspired by Heath Ledger's depiction of the Joker in the 2008 film The Dark Knight. Carson included "Overseas" in the set list of the Chaos World Tour (2024).

"Overseas" is a hip-hop song driven by a buzzing beat, 808-heavy production, and a subtle melody. Its lyrics see Carson offer an update on his recent life, which he mostly spent on tour, and reflecting on his rise to prominence. Praised by critics for its rhythm and catchiness, the song debuted at number 79 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking Carson's first entry on the chart, and charted in New Zealand and Canada. In October 2024, "Overseas" was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Gunner Stahl directed the song's music video, which included grainy clips of Carson's live performances in Europe.
