"Überlin" came out early in 2011 as the third single from Collapse into Now, R.E.M.'s 15th studio album and, as it turned out, their last. It followed "Mine Smell Like Honey" and came before "Oh My Heart". It was a Warner Bros. release, the seven-inch for the UK and the US carried "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?" on the flip, and it also turned up on a Collapse Into Now sampler EP.
Peter Buck, Mike Mills and Michael Stipe share the writing credit, and the title jams the German über together with Berlin. Sam Taylor-Wood directed the video, which sets her then-fiancé, the actor Aaron Johnson, dancing his way through a stretch of Shoreditch.
