 TITLE: Okay (feat. Layla Sanchez) ARTIST: Natasha Iver WRITERS: Natasha Iver, Reza Vranitzky, Michael R. Young LENGTH: 3:25 GENRE: Dance-pop, pop PRODUCER: Reza Vranitzky LABEL: Songs to Love and Die By RELEASED: May 21st, 2015 From the Album: Repeat (Released: February 20th, 2015)
"Okay" is the nineth track from Natasha Iver's debut album. It was written by Natasha Iver, Reza Vranitzky, and Michael R. Young, although the song was originally written for the girl group Cherry Street, who is featured later in the album. When Cherry Street decided to pass on the song, it was Natasha who decided to give it a go. She originally recorded the song alone, but found that it was lacking with just her voice. That's when they brought in Layla Sanchez of the girl group SYNCO to sing with her, which made the song sound exactly the way Natasha Iver and producer, Reza Vranitzky, wanted it to sound.
The song starts off with Natasha, naming off all the ways that her and boyfriend have tried to deal with the stress of their relationship and life in general together. She names talking, screaming, and the silent treatment as three ways they've tried. Layla jumps in in the second verse, naming off her own couple of ways, including crying and fighting. They try not to hide that they're struggling because they know that everybody struggles in their relationship sometimes, but now they're both hiding, and they wish that they knew how to deal with their problems better. Layla and Natasha promise their significant others that they'll always be with them, with Natasha singing the last "you" alone, her voice floating off until the chorus starts for the first time. In the chorus, Natasha and Layla sing together, telling their significant other that they believe them when they say that everything is going to be okay. They don't know why they trust them so much, but they just feel in their gut that everything will be fine when their boyfriends say it will be.
The next verse comes in, with Natasha starting it off for the second time, naming off more ways that they've tried to deal with the stress in their lives: Lying, crying, biting, and fighting. Natasha recognizes that none of these have gotten them anywhere. Layla sings in the next verse that although they have all this stress, when they hold each others hand, she knows that they're going to make it, and that everything is going to be alright. She tells him that she believes in him and asks him to please not break her heart. Natasha and Layla sing "I'll put my trust in you," together before the chorus comes back in. A second part of the chorus is added this time, with Natasha and Layla singing that they've been against worse than what they're against now in their relationship, and they came out fine on the other side, so they know that they can make it through this. In the bridge, they repeat "okay" over and over again, first with Layla singing, "We can do this," afterwards, then with Natasha singing, "We will do this," and then together they both repeat that same phrase. The bridge builds up, so when the chorus comes back in, it's very emotional and super-charged, with Natasha and Layla confessing their love and trust in their significant other. The song ends with Natasha repeating the second part of the chorus alone, a quiet violin playing her out.
NatashaLaylaTogetherTalking, we've tried it
Screaming, we've tried it
Silence, we've tried it
Together we've done it
All before
Crying won't stop it
Fighting won't stop it
Try not to hide it
But we're both hiding now
Wish we knew how
You know I'll always be with
Know I'll always be with you
You
'Cause when you say
That you think we're going to be okay
I believe you
Although why I do
I don't think I could ever say
You think we're going
Going
'Cause lying, we've tried it
Crying, we've tried it
Biting, we've tried it
Fighting doesn't get us
Anywhere
But when you hold my hand, I know that
We are gonna make it
We will be alright
There is no need to fake it
I believe in you, man
Take my heart, don't break it

But when you say
That you think we're going to be okay

That you think we're going to be okay
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay
We can do this
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay
