OK Not To Be OK

Verse 1
Feeling like a drop in the ocean
That don't nobody notice
Maybe it’s all just in your head
Feeling like you're trapped in your own skin
And now your body's frozen
Broken down, you’ve got nothing left

Pre-Chorus
When you're high on emotion
And you're losing your focus
And you feel too exhausted to pray
Don't get lost in the moment
Or give up when you're closest
All you need is somebody to say

Chorus
It's okay not to be okay
It's okay not to be okay
When you're down and you feel ashamed
It’s okay not to be okay

Verse 2
Feeling like your life’s an illusion
And lately, you're secluded
Thinking you’ll never get your chancе
Feeling like you got no solution
It's only 'cause you're human
No control, it’s out of your hands

Pre-Chorus
Whеn you're high on emotion
And you're losing your focus
And you feel too exhausted to pray
Don't get lost in the moment
Or give up when you're closest
All you need is somebody to say

Chorus
It's okay not to be okay
It's okay not to be okay
When you're down and you feel ashamed
It's okay not to be okay

Bridge
When you're high on emotion
And you're losing your focus
And you feel too exhausted to pray (Ah-ha)
Don't get lost in the moment
Or give up when you're closest
All you need is somebody to say

Chorus
It's okay not to be okay (Oh)
It's okay not to be okay (No, no, no)
When you're down and you feel ashamed (When you feel ashamed)
It's okay not to be okay (No, no, no)
It's okay not to be okay

“Ok Not To Be Ok” is the first crossover between producer Marshmello and Demi Lovato, aim to raise awareness on suicide prevention and break stigma amid September’s National Suicide Prevention Month. The song sings of how one feels when discouraged and desperate and the preconception it received with our internal experience.

Rumors of a collaboration between the two surfaced after being spotted filming a music video on July 31, 2020, and later on, teased in Marshmello’s Instagram post. On September 5, 2020, the song title is revealed through its isonym website.
