Overthinker is the first full-length album by Ayli, and is considered his debut release. Worked on from early 2020 to a Spring 2022 drop, the album was a major stepping stone in Ayli's evolution as an artist. Prior to the release, he had primarily a series of loosely connected mixtapes, EPs, and unofficial releases. However, Overthinker ushered in a new precedent of sonic cohesion, project sequencing, and production quality. Though rough around the edges, the groundwork set by Overthinker's moody, lo-fi production and melodic hooks are the roots for all Ayli projects that came afterwards. As of March 2025, the remastered and bonus tracks from the album's deluxe edition have been retroactively added onto the original project on streaming services, leaving it as the "definitive" version of the album.
