La canción I Know Its Over de The Smiths trata temas de soledad y desesperación, a menudo interpretada como una expresión del dolor por el final de una relación y el sentimiento de rechazo. Refleja sentimientos profundos de insuficiencia y anhelo de comprensión, universalmente reconocidos en la obra de Morrissey.
