“It Ain’t Over ’til It’s Over” foi lançada como o segundo single do álbum *Mama Said* em junho de 1991, marcando a transição de Lenny Kravitz para um som mais inspirado no Motown, Philly soul e nas influências de Earth, Wind & Fire.
A seção de metais que encerra a faixa foi gravada pelos Phenix Horns, a mesma seção de sopros que trabalhou com Earth, Wind & Fire, reforçando a homenagem ao estilo soul dos anos 70.
A letra da canção foi inspirada na frase de Yogi Berra “It ain’t over ’til it’s over” e surgiu enquanto Kravitz enfrentava dificuldades no casamento com Lisa Bonet, usando a música como tentativa de reacender a relação.
Apesar de inicialmente querer oferecer a música a Smokey Robinson para manter seu perfil underground, a gravadora convenceu Kravitz a gravá‑la, e ela acabou se tornando seu maior sucesso nos Estados‑Unidos, atingindo a posição 2 na Billboard Hot 100 em agosto de 1991.
Em entrevista ao VivaMusic.com em 2000, Kravitz afirmou que percebeu “um clima clássico” na música logo ao escrevê‑la, sentimento que manteve ao longo dos anos.
