Chandra’s latest opus It’s OK radiates the type of cathartic energy that can only come from radical honesty. It serves as a sonic exhale, in essence, three minutes of freedom disguised as an anthem, inviting us to drop the weight of expectation and simply exist in the present moment. A zeitgeist message that we need now, more than ever before!
Whilst the iconic band’s previous single Just With You leaned into tenderness, It’s OK invites us to take flight with pure, unfiltered release. The production by Elliot Vaughan is tight and intentional, with every layer built around the track’s heartbeat. The irresistibly chantable “do-do-do” refrains are captivating and manifest a kinetic energy. It feels like a masterclass in making pop-rock feel both monumental and human.
It’s OK is about breaking free from pressures and expectations. It’s a shout of defiance against conformity. Who wants to be normal? The lyrics capture frustration with day jobs, social judgment, and the constant demand to “have it all figured out.” Instead, Chandra turns that relatable tension into liberation.
At its heart, the song is a reminder that it’s acceptable to feel lost at time. It invites everyone to dance through their doubts and celebrate imperfections. Musically, It’s OK sits in the same space as Imagine Dragons or Young the Giant, but its emotional core feels closer to the grounded storytelling of Fountains of Wayne – and of course it is unique Chandra’s own design!
Recorded in Bristol and powered by Chandra’s trademark big-hook, bigger-heart philosophy, the track embodies everything the band stands for: inclusion, authenticity, and consciousness. Naturally, we have added It’s OK to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream the band’s exquisite, growing discography!
