The song was “When It’s Over,” the second single on the iconic album. Written by Mike Reno and Paul Dean, the power ballad featured emotional lyrics about a relationship falling apart, while offering hope that a new beginning could come after the heartbreak.
Reno shared the backstory on "When It's Over" during a 2022 appearance on the Your Online Coffee Breakpodcast, where he revealed it was still one of his favorite songs to perform.
“I kind of wrote the whole thing, ‘I hope you're with me when it's over,’" the Loverboy frontman continued. “And it was over, obviously. But I wanted to be friends because we never had a bad thing to, you know, to say to each other. It was just she wanted to do something, and I had to do something different.”
More than 40 years after “When It’s Over” was released, comments on its YouTube video note that the Loverboy fans were “lucky” to have grown up at a time when the band's music was popular.
“80's girl forever ? 55 and still listening in 2025,” another wrote.
Decades after "When It's Over" was written, the song is a reminder that behind Loverboy’s energetic rock anthems was a band that was also able to show a vulnerable side—one that continues to resonate decades later.
