Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about okay. By Songfacts®.

This anthemic song intertwines Lany lead singer Paul Klein with Julia Michaels' vocals throughout. Lany hooked up with Michaels through some mutual friends; it marked the band's first ever collaboration.

The duet, co-written by Klein and Michaels in just two days at Conway Recording Studios, finds the pair singing about recovering from a breakup. They feel so low after their heartbreak that they wonder if they'll ever be OK again. The Lany frontman recalled to MTV News: "I remember we talked for a long time and we went outside and ate a bunch of grapes in the parking lot. She talked to me about some guy she had a crush on, and I was like, 'I just can't even look at girls right now' because I still loved this girl that totally wrecked me. At the end of my whole two-hour spiel, I think I said to her, 'I'm gonna be okay. Right?' And she's like, 'write that right now.'"

The song is filled with colorful details summarizing the songwriter's recent personal breakups. I bought that pillow on the couch 'cause it reminded Me of the colors on your wall I thought you'd like it Klein recalled to Genius: "We decided during those two days, is we were going to tell it exactly how it was. And we were going to pull out some really colorful details. And I was like, 'I bought this pillow, on the couch.' We didn't really want to be mysterious or ambiguous at all."
