Lyrical content

"Worst Part Is Over" is a pop song with rap elements due to Redrama's verse. Lyrically, the song is about coping with losing someone, though exactly who is not made completely explicit and therefore it is ambiguous: it can be interpreted as the loss of a relationship, or a family member or close friend. Abreu sings that although a person might feel 'alone in the dark' when going through such a period in their life, they should draw strength and that 'when it gets hard, you gotta stay strong'. Abreu promises 'it's always the darkest before you see the light'. The intepretation of the song being about retaining inner strength after the breakdown of a relationship can be seen in lyrics such as 'we lost the spark and that's the worst part' and 'don't give up don't let nobody break you down'.

Chart performance

"Worst Part Is Over" reached number twenty-five on the Finnish Download Chart and number twelve on the official Radio Airplay Chart.
