"It's Over" is a song recorded by the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO). It is the second track from the LP Out of the Blue. It was the last single to be lifted from the album and was released exclusively in the United States, becoming a minor hit. The orchestral beginning was actually the end of "Mr. Blue Sky" reversed.[citation needed]

In 2007, hip hop artist and producer will.i.am sampled parts of the song, and it formed the backbone of his opening track "Over" from the album Songs About Girls.
