Alice in Chains ended the TV broadcast of their MTV Unplugged set with "Over Now", and on July 17, 1996 that acoustic take went out as a single, backed with the original studio version from their self-titled third album of 1995. Jerry Cantrell, who wrote it with Sean Kinney, sings lead on a song about the band's 1994 breakup. Unplugged, the goodbye cuts even closer to the bone.
Toby Wright produced this version with Alex Coletti and the band, mixed it, and recorded it with John Harris. The single reached number 4 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart and 24 on Modern Rock Tracks. The Unplugged show was the only time Alice in Chains ever played it; it resurfaced 23 years later at a Cantrell solo show at the Pico Union Project in Los Angeles on December 6, 2019.
