“It’s Okay” serves as the eighth track from Imagine Dragons' fifth studio album, Mercury – Act 1. Lyrically, the song reinforces the idea that it is perfectly normal to not be happy, content, or comfortable in your own skin all of the time. It also widely incorporates themes of LGBTQ acceptance, whi...
[Verse 1]
She could always hear every word they say
Everybody walks like they just know the way
Every single day holding back the tears
She'd never say a word 'cause there's nobody that hears
[Chorus]
It's okay to be not okay
It's just fine to be out of your mind
Breathe in deep, just a day at a time
'Cause it's okay to be out of your mind, mind
[Verse 2]
Mine is broken, how is yours?
Sure, it helps to hear the news and political discourse
Fear, that is what he felt
Every single day as all the boys would play
Don't you darе be weak, emasculatеd freak
Last up on the fence, tell me, where's the sense?
[Chorus]
It's okay to be not okay
It's just fine to be out of your mind
Breathe in deep, just a day at a time
'Cause it's okay to be out of your mind
[Bridge]
I don't want this body, I don't want this voice
I don't wanna be here, but I guess I have no choice
Just let me live my truth, that's all I wanna do
Baby, you're not broken, just a little bit confused
[Chorus]
It's okay to be not okay (I need you here with me)
It's just fine to be out of your mind (I can't do it all alone)
Breathe in deep, just a day at a time
'Cause it's okay to be out of your mind (It's okay, out of your mind)
It's okay to be not okay (I need you here with me)
It's just fine to be out of your mind (I can't do it all alone)
Breathe in deep, just a day at a time
'Cause it's okay to be out of your mind (It's okay, come on and on and on and on)
[Outro]
La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la, la-la
La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la, la-la
La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la, la-la
La, la, la, la-la, la, la, la, la-la, la

A snippet of the song was first heard towards the end of the teaser video for the album Mercury Act 1.
That was one of the first songs I wrote for the record, maybe three years ago, which is so strange because people are going to think I wrote it during COVID. But it was really about embracing your sexuality and loving yourself and accepting yourself and accepting those who you love. I think also it’...
Another song that really came to life at Rick’s studio. He pushed me to strip the song down and recreate it from scratch from the demo state we showed it to him in. I wanted to create an intimate song that also could gradually grow into a bit of a memorable chant of affirmation and empowerment. I sa...
