"It's Over" is a song by English jazz-funk band Level 42. Released in 1987 as the fourth single from their album Running in the Family, it reached number 10 on the UK Singles Chart (becoming the band's sixth and final UK Top 10 hit).

Release

In addition to the regular 7" single, two 12" singles were released with different track listings. A limited edition 7" single pack was also released, including four photo postcards (of the band members) taken from the video location shoot, and four Level 42 logo stickers. A CD Video single (CD-V) was also released in 1988.

The album version of the song was remixed for the single release and while both sound similar, the album version fades out at the end, while the single version does not.

Music video

The music video for "It's Over" was shot in the Mammoth Lakes area of north-eastern California near the state border with Nevada.
