"Over Now" (originally titled "Spite") is a song by Scottish DJ Calvin Harris and Canadian singer-songwriter The Weeknd. It was released as a single on August 28, 2020 through Columbia Records.
Background[]
The song was first written and recorded between 2017-2018 with producer Doc McKinney, and could've possibly been intended for My Dear Melancholy. This version was much slower than the final version, and featured different lyrics, key and more. Tesfaye continued working on it in 2018-2019 during After Hours sessions with WondaGurl.
During the March 25, 2020 Instagram live, Tesfaye previewed a tiny bit of the track.[1] On August 15, the version made with WondaGurl was leaked online. A snippet of an even earlier version was leaked on February 5, 2021, and on December 29, 2023 versions from 2017-2018 found their way online.

Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I don't really care if your tears fall down your face
You know you play the victim every time
I know you gettin' turnt every night, oh yeah
Your girls ain't shit, tryna get me off your mind
The same ones who be hittin' up my line
They're not your friends
[Pre-Chorus]
I need you to know that
We ain't ever gonna go back
This time, it got so bad
It's best for me, it's best for you
I need you to know that
Tried to love you, but I forced that
All signs, we ignored that
And it's not the same
[Chorus]
'Cause it's over now, oh yeah
Don't get too confused, girl, it's over now, oh yeah, uh
No comin' back around, baby
Nothin' left to lose, girl, it's over now (Oh yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2]
So, I take this just to forget you
I don't regret those memories
And I swear I'm not tryna test
I wish you the best with the life you lead
But you always need that attention
Feedin' the press, when we don't speak
But we're both with somebody else
So please stop callin' me
[Pre-Chorus]
I need you to know that (Oh girl)
We ain't ever gonna go back (Oh girl)
This time, it got so bad
It's not the same
[Chorus]
'Cause it's over now, oh yeah
Don't get too confused, girl, it's over now, oh yeah, uh
(Stop callin', stop callin')
No comin' back around, baby (Oh, no comin' back around)
Nothin' left to lose, girl, it's over now (Oh yeah, yeah, said)
[Bridge]
Na, na, na, na-na-na-na-na
Na, na, na, na-na-na-na-na
Na, na, na, no, woah (Yeah, yeah)
I said, na-na, na, na, na-na-na-na-na
Na, na, na, na-na-na-na-na
Na, na, na, na-na-na-na-na (Hey)
[Chorus]
'Cause it's over now, oh yeah (Stop callin' me, oh)
Don't get too confused, girl, it's over now, oh yeah, uh (Stop callin' me, hey)
No comin' back around, baby (No comin' back around, no, no)
Nothin' left to lose, girl, it's over now (Stop callin' me, yeah)
Oh yeah, uh, yeah
[Outro]
Stop callin' me back around, back around
Oh yeah
Ooh
Oh, girl
(Please stop comin' back)
Oh yeah
Stop callin', stop callin'
Ooh
