"Almost Over You" is a 1983 single by Scottish singer Sheena Easton from her Best Kept Secret LP. It was written by Jennifer Kimball and Cindy Richardson. The single reached number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100,[1] while its Adult Contemporary peak was number 4.[2] In Canada, the song reached number 35 and number one on the Adult Contemporary chart.[3]
The lyrics tells of a woman who almost overcame the pain, misery, and shattered dreams her former lover gave to her, which suggests the title.
This song features Easton singing and playing a piano in an apartment. The arcade game machines Defender and Sinistar appear in the video with Easton herself "dumping" Defender out over the balcony.
