<P> `` It Ai n't Over ' til It 's Over '' is a song recorded , written , and produced by American musician Lenny Kravitz for his second studio album , Mama Said ( 1991 ) . 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 ai n'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 Ai n't Over ' til It 's Over '' . </P>
