Sugar Ray opened the campaign for their self-titled fourth album with "When It's Over", sending it to radio of every stripe on Lava in May 2001. Don Gilmore and David Kahne produced it, and five writers share the credit: Mark McGrath, Rodney Sheppard, Stan Frazier, Murphy Karges and Craig Bullock. It's a breezy pop-rock song about still carrying a torch after a relationship that broke up one time too many.
McG's video strings together band fantasies: Frazier wrecks a soundstage, Karges recasts the group as Irish punks playing a club, and Sheppard acts out his love of kung fu by fighting Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as Bruce Lee in the yellow jumpsuit, a nod to Game of Death, before everybody ends up partying and riding scooters on the beach. The single reached No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 6 in New Zealand.
