Multi-genre phenomenon Jelly Roll today released his new single “I Am Not Okay” off his forthcoming new album, expected later this year. “I Am Not Okay” marks the first official release of new music for the Nashville native singer/songwriter since his record-breaking debut Country album, Whitsitt Chapel, which was released last June (6/2).
Written by Jelly, “I Am Not Okay”, released via BBR Music Group/BMG in partnership with Republic Records, follows his Grammy-nominated multi-week #1, “Save Me,” and Jelly’s last single, “Halfway to Hell”, which earlier this week claimed the top spot on the country radio charts, marking the CMA, ACM, and CMT winning artist’s fourth consecutive #1 at Country radio via Stoney Creek Records and 5th career #1. Earlier today, Jelly visited The Howard Stern Show to talk more about the new song and the impact he has already seen from fans, as well as his experience this week of announcing news of his #1 and the new single from his live performance at Nissan Stadium, where he co-hosted CMA FEST’s ABC television special set to air on June 25th.
“I Am Not Okay” debuted today via radio World Premiere and is available now here. For more information on the single, as well as Jelly Roll’s upcoming Beautifully Broken Tour, visit jellyroll615.com.
“I Am Not Okay” Lyrics:
I am not okay
I’m barely gettin’ by
I’m losin’ track of days
And losin’ sleep at night
I am not okay
I’m hangin’ on the rails
So if I say I’m fine
Just know I’ve learned to hide it well
I know I can’t be the only one
Who’s holdin’ on for dear life
But God knows, I know
When it’s all said and done
I’m not okay
But it’s all gonna be all right
It’s not okay
But we’re all gonna be all right
I woke up today
I almost stayed in bed
Had the devil on my back
And voices in my head
Some days it ain’t all bad
Some days it all gets worse
Some days I swear I’m better off
Layin’ in that dirt
I know I can’t be the only one
Who’s holdin’ on for dear life
But God knows, I know
When it’s all said and done
I’m not okay
But it’s all gonna be all right
It’s not okay
But we’re all gonna be all right
Gonna be all right
Gonna be all right
I know one day
We’ll see the other side
The pain’ll wash away
In a holy water tide
And we all gonna be all right
I know I can’t be the only one
Who’s holdin’ on for dear life
But God knows, I know
When it’s all said and done
I’m not okay
But it’s all gonna be all right
It’s not okay
But we’re all gonna be all right
I’m not okay
But it’s all gonna be all right
