About “It’s Over, Isn’t It?”

“It’s Over, Isn’t It” is featured in Steven Universe’s first musical episode, “Mr. Greg.” The heartbreaking ballad puts the fun Empire City vacation on hold as Pearl opens up about her unrequited love for Rose Quartz. Unfortunately for her, Greg and Steven overhear.

The song and the scene take their influence from classic Broadway torch songs such as Follies’s “Losing My Mind.” Storyboarder and director, Joe Johnston confirmed that one influence in particular—“Crazy World” from 1982’s film adaptation of Victor Victoria—is directly referenced in the staging of the sequence.
