"It's All Over" is a song by American singerDionne Warwick and German pop groupBlue System, taken from their sixth studio albumDéjà vu (1991). It was written byDieter Bohlen, the lead singer of Blue System, and co-produced by Bohlen andLuis Rodríguez.
Dieter Bohlen wrote "It's All Over" forDionne Warwick after seeing her performing withBurt Bacharach in Las Vegas in 1989. Bohlen stated that he wanted to compose a "monumental opus" similar to her earlier hit "Heartbreaker", complete with a full orchestra and solo harmonica. The backing track was recorded in Germany, and cost 20,000Deutsche marks to produce. He mailed the demo to Warwick's manager,Clive Davis. Once he accepted, Bohlen requested that the song be recorded as a duet. The vocals were recorded atLion Share Recording Studios in Los Angeles.[1]
The title track fromDéjà vu was released as the album's lead single in September 1991. It spent fourteen weeks in theGerman Top 100 Singles chart, peaking at no. 12. "It's All Over" was released as the follow-up single in November 1991 and peaked in its first week at no. 60.[2] Bohlen recollected that he and Warwick had performed the song live on a TV show shortly after the track's release, and noted the audience's lukewarm response to the song.[1]
