Not Over Yet

Lead vocals and backing vocals on the track were performed by Patti Low. In 1995, the lead vocals were replaced by the new Grace frontwoman Dominique Atkins for the Grace album If I Could Fly, released in 1996, although Low's backing vocals remained in place. This Atkins/Low combination appeared on all subsequent re-releases and remixes of "Not Over Yet".

In 1999, "Not Over Yet" was remixed by Planet Perfecto, a pseudonym of Paul Oakenfold, a co-writer of the song. It again reached the Top 20, peaking at number 16. Oakenfold used the song with much less singing in another remix called "Not Over", which appeared on his album A Lively Mind.

In 2001, Garlic, a London indie band led by the Scottish co-author of the song released the song as both a single and track from their LP, ‘The Murky World of Seats’. This version was remarkably different from the original. It was guitar led (including slide guitar) and much slower paced. And in 2007, the song was covered as "It's Not Over Yet" by indie rock band Klaxons.

"Not Over Yet" received positive reviews from many music critics. Aberdeen Press and Journal described the song as "uplifting".[2] AllMusic editor Michael Gallucci said it "makes any sort of lasting impression."[3] Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Grace has it all—a highly videogenic image, an angelic voice, and the ability to write material that deftly straddles commercial viability and underground hipness. She has already wooed punters in her native U.K. with this silky slice of trance/disco, and early reaction from tastemaking radio-programmers hints that even greater stateside success is on the horizon."[4] Music & Media commented, "Not over yet? No way, it's only just beginning, the renewed appreciation of synth or electro pop-of course in a fashionable new dance coat. The girl sings gracefully in a sea of sequencers."[5]

"Not Over Yet" proved to be a major hit in several countries. It peaked within the Top 10 in Ireland, Scotland and the United Kingdom. In the latter, it reached number 6 on April 9, 1995,[6] in its second week on the UK Singles Chart. But the song went to number-one on the UK Dance Singles Chart. Additionally, it was a Top 40 hit in Iceland and Sweden. On the Eurochart Hot 100, "Not Over Yet" reached its highest position as number 12 on April 22. Outside Europe, it peaked at number-one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play, number 5 in Israel and number 144 in Australia.

Mixmag ranked the song number 91 in its 100 Greatest Dance Singles of All Time list in 1996.[7] It was also included as number 15 in their Mixmag End Of Year Lists:1995.[8]

DJ Magazine ranked it number 38 in their list of Top 100 Club Tunes in 1998.[9]

MTV Dance placed "Not Over Yet" at number 64 in their list of The 100 Biggest 90's Dance Anthems Of All Time in November 2011.[10]

In a list of The Top 10 Dance Tunes Of The '90s for Attitude in 2016, the song was ranked at number 5. They noted, "There are some beautiful '90s tracks that got lost in the 'novelty' of the '90s, and this is one of them."[11]

Mixmag ranked it as one of the 15 best songs in their The 15 best mid-90s trance tracks list in 2018, adding: "Dominique Wilkins' soaring vocals steal the show and she delivers one of dance's most recognisable earworms on the hook in a storm of sonic, melody-driven madness."[12]

In 1999, "Not Over Yet" was re-released by Planet Perfecto, an Oakenfold pseudonym, and featured re-recorded vocals and new mixes. It again reached the Top 20, peaking at number #16.

A remixed version with new vocals (by Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic), only featuring the words "not over yet" from the original appeared on Oakenfold's 2006 album A Lively Mind as "Not Over". The vocals of this version could be seen as an answer song to the original track, as the vocals cover the same topic - the end of a relationship; and are sung by a man.

In 2001, BT released the album "R&R (Rare & Remixed)". A remix of Not Over Yet was included on this album. It is track 5 on disc 1. The credit for this song is listed as "Grace (BT's Spirit of Grace)"

Klaxons did their own version of the song, slightly re-titled "It's Not Over Yet" and was included on their first album Myths of the Near Future. The track was released as a single in June 2007.

During BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge with Jo Whiley on 8 February 2008, Goldfrapp performed a cover version of the song with a more acoustic sound than the club-style original.

In 2011, new remixes by Perfecto Records were released under the name Grace - Not Over Yet and it was announced via tilts official Facebook page that a new track was in the process of being written for Grace/Dominique Atkins. Remixes for the re-release of the single include Max Graham vs. Protoculture, Jonas Hornblad, and Robert Vadney mixes.
