"This song is about a man who constantly cheats on his girlfriend. He stays out all night, ends up in strange places and gets his kicks while she sits at home worrying if he's dead or alive. In the song I ask, "are you going to be okay?" and that sort of ties in with the idea that the man is lying to himself and trying to make himself feel less guilty. He holds his hands up to being a liar and because he's slightly worried about his girlfriend, that apparently makes it better somehow. Like..."Hey, I'm a cheat but I know I am and I know it's wrong so I'm not really such a bad guy". Coming out with a song like that and it being the first thing people hear from you, you don't want them getting the wrong idea. When Meghan Trainor came out with All About That Bass, she became "the big girl" and her album has much more to it than that. When Weekend released Everything About You, people pigeon holed them for a long time and thought that they can only do upbeat "na na na" type songs and again, there's more to them than that. I didn't want to give off this sleazy image and seem like yet another male artist who doesn't appreciate women. I'm a storyteller and I like to write about many different things and also from different perspectives. There are loads of songs out there about getting revenge on exes and flipping them the bird so I wanted to do it from the cheater's point of view. Not that I'll ever side with them but I just wanted to do something different. It's one of my favourite songs on the record and I think it's down to the melody and how simple yet catchy it is. I worked with Katie Merjos on the song who I've been a huge fan of since she first broke out way back when. It was such an honor to work with her. I am truly lucky to have someone like Katie believe in my project and willingly take time out of her busy life to meet with me and really delve into all the work ad devise such big and in depth plans. Katie certainly knows her craft and I think that's why she's so respected. She's not just lucky enough to be talented. She lives and breathes music, really listens and makes sure she educates herself in order to understand what it is she's doing. Katie was able to keep the rawness of the lyrical content intact while being able to make it a lot easier on the ears. She was also the one that twisted my arm and gave me that push to go ahead and finally upload this. I'm hoping that it will catch the attention of many people and get them excited for my first official release. There's a lot more to me than meets the eye. While I love being 1/4 of The Stat Nerds and jumping around on TV in animal onesies, I AM a musician, a performer, an artist and I want to showcase that. I'm so grateful for all of these amazing new opportunities that are coming my way this year but I just want to remind people that this is what I do best. I do think that this was the right choice for my first ever upload as a solo act because it's been stuck in my head for months, it gives me room to explore my vocal abilities, I've showcased my writing style and how I like to take a different perspective and the dark indie rock undertone mixed in with that experimental, dreamy and electro pop sound really demonstrates the sound I'm going for and what I love most. I hope you all enjoy Okay as much as I do. Much love! xx"
I don't even know why you still hang around
I only bring a whole lot of trouble to your door
There's no denying that I only bring you down
God only knows that you deserve so much more
I'm scum, simple as that, no need to sugar coat
Picking up my shirt from yet another girl's floor
I know that this isn't right and there has to be a change
You're still on my mind but it's so hard, I get carried away
Deep in the dark I lose control and you're none the wiser
You trust me to go out alone when in fact I'm a dirty liar
Are you going to be okay?
Are you going to be okay?
Wondering whether I'm dead or alive
Pacing back and forth, staying up all night
It's gone three and I'm out having the time of my life
No need to ask questions, my phone just died
Are you going to be okay?
Are you going to be okay?
Close the door on the world and switch my conscience off
I don't need more guilt, I already hate myself enoughEmpty bottles and clothing lay scattered
At least my aftershave covers up her scent
In the morning I'll act like nothing had happened
A loan to a friend explains all the money I spent
As if covering up tracks is all that really matters
When a girl's crying her eyes out, wondering where I went
I know that this isn't right and there has to be a change
You're still on my mind but it's so hard, I get carried away
Deep in the dark I lose control and you're none the wiser
You trust me to go out alone when in fact I'm a dirty liar
Are you going to be okay?
Are you going to be okay?
Wondering whether I'm dead or alive
Pacing back and forth, staying up all night
It's gone three and I'm out having the time of my life
No need to ask questions, my phone just died
Are you going to be okay?
Are you going to be okay?
Close the door on the world and switch my conscience off
I don't need more guilt, I already hate myself enoughWhere I lay my head, that's my home for the night
Across the city, she holds on to her pillow tight
I really should stop but it's just so hard to fight
I know that this isn't right and there has to be a change
You're still on my mind but it's so hard, I get carried away
Deep in the dark I lose control and you're none the wiser
You trust me to go out alone when in fact I'm a dirty liar
Are you going to be okay?
Are you going to be okay?
Wondering whether I'm dead or alive
Pacing back and forth, staying up all night
It's gone three and I'm out having the time of my life
No need to ask questions, my phone just died
Are you going to be okay?
Are you going to be okay?
Close the door on the world and switch my conscience off
I don't need more guilt, I already hate myself enoughAre you going to be okay?
Are you going to be okay?
