"It's Not Over" is the first official single from Daughtry's debut album entitled Daughtry. The single debuted fairly high on the Hot 100 at #65, partly due to the song already reaching the top 40 on iTunes. It has since jumped up the chart and currently peaks at #21 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was also used as a teaser to the last episode of the second season of Prison Break.

Music Video
After much speculation on when and even if a video would be released, the video was finally released on AOL on January 10, 2007 [1]. The video tells the story of a couple struggling to keep their relationship alive. The video was co-directed by Dean Karr and Jay Martin (Karr directed the performance scenes while Martin did the narrative scenes).
It begins with a man laying in bed, while he has a flashback, which reveals that he had been arrested. It then shows his girlfriend picking him up years later, just after he has been released from prison. The two seem to be distant from spending so much time apart. On the way back to their home they stop for something the man needs to pick up, and his girlfriend has a flashback to when she first heard the news of his arrest, showing that she was pregnant at the time. The man gets back in the car with a stuffed animal, which he gives to his daughter at home, whom he is meeting for the first time. His daughter seems reluctant at first to accept that he is her father, being she is around 6 or 7 and has never met him, but she finally gives him a hug. The couple are then shown lying in bed together for the first time in years, and his girlfriend again seems distant from him.
It proceeds to show the man looking for a job, which proves to be unsuccessful at first. He walks by a jewelry store, staring at something through the window. He then sees a "Help Wanted" sign, and gets a job as a car mechanic. The man works long hours, which causes his girlfriend to become increasingly worried by the fact that he is hardly ever home, and she is shown distressed over how their relationship seems to be not working out. The man is shown arriving home late one night with a small box. His girlfriend opens the door wondering where he's been, and he gets down on one knee, and proposes to her with the engagement ring he was able to buy from working so hard at his job. The girlfriend is overjoyed, and the video ends with the two embracing, and proving that "it's not over" for the couple.
The story in the video is intercut with scenes of the band playing the song in an immaculate looking grand room.
