Released as the album's second single in June 1991, the song is a mid-tempo ballad, musically inspired by Motown, Philly soul, and Earth, Wind & Fire (particularly "That's the Way of the World"). The horn line at the end is performed by the Phenix Horns from Earth, Wind & Fire . "That song just came out one day, and I knew it had a classic vibe . And I still love that song very much today", Kravitz said in an interview for VivaMusic.com in 2000 . The line is based on a Yogiism, or quotation from Yogi Berra: "It ain't over' til it's over ." It was Kravitz's first top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 of his career, and his highest peak in the chart . English singer Mutya Buena's 2007 song "Real Girl" contains a sample from "It Ain't Over' til It's Over". </P> <P> "It Ain't Over' til It's Over" is Kravitz's most successful single on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart to date, peaking at number two behind Bryan Adams' "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You".
