The eighth song on the album, "Fortune Teller" has a pop tempo piano beat, that meshes with the song to provide a mix of emotions. The song gives a sort of "I want you, but I can't decide for you" feel.[27] "Sad" is a piano ballad,[27] which highlights Levine's soulful tone that his voice possesses.[36] Nick Levine of NME labeled the song as "an Adele-apeing weepie".[28] Lyrically, "Sad" is a song on which Levine "achingly" declares the end of his relationship and his heartbreak.[37] The tenth track "Tickets" features twisting production that "comes through as a tight, techno-influenced pop song".[27] According to a reviewer of Billboard, the song is reminiscent of Maroon 5's 2010 single "Give a Little More"[27] and it has lyrics about someone being a snob.[17] "Doin' Dirt" is a high-energy, beat-driven song,[27] and a "a revved, funky club cut".[11] Its verses talk about "horndog rhapsodies", with lyrics such as: "I light you up when I get inside".[38] The final track on the album, "Beautiful Goodbye" was described as a "rhythmic ballad."[11] It's an acoustic ode that's bittersweet, but at the same time positive.[27] Additional three tracks are present on the deluxe edition of Overexposed, including "Wipe Your Eyes", "Wasted Years" and "Kiss", a cover of the 1986 single by Prince and the Revolution. "Wipe Your Eyes" is a mid-tempo piano-driven ballad that contains a sample of the recording "Sabali" by the Mali musical duo Amadou & Mariam.[39]
