"I Know It's Over" is a song by the English rock band The Smiths. Recorded in 1985, it is the third track on their third studio album The Queen Is Dead.
The instrumentation was written by Johnny Marr in summer 1985. Morrissey's vocal performance on this track is considered by many to be one of the finest of his career. The song was originally meant to have trumpet on it during the refrain at the end, but it was scrapped. In the book "Songs That Saved Your Life", Simon Goddard explains that Morrissey did not show his bandmates the lyric until the instrumental track was entirely finished. Marr once described witnessing Morrissey's vocal performance as "one of the highlights of my life".
