Background
In a statement, Amy Lee said, "This song is about being sick of the facade. The disguises we wear for others to make them feel comfortable, the inside feelings being so different than what we show on the outside to fit within the boundaries of what's socially acceptable, or what's not going to make you unpleasant or too 'weird' to be around."[2]
The track has been described as a heavy metal song[3] that "brings back the nostalgia" of grunge and early 2000's emo,[4] and has been compared to the music of Nirvana and Tool.[3]

An official music video to accompany the release of "The Game Is Over" was first released onto YouTube on July 3, 2020.[5] The video was filmed by each member of the band on their phones while in isolation, in collaboration with director P.R. Brown.[6]
