Songfacts®:

• This song finds John Legend at a club, putting the moves on a girl. She's there with her man, but that's not going to stop him - he knows she's got her eye on him.
  
  Released in 2004, it's the kind of song we would hear from Legend back in his days as a bachelor, before he met Chrissy Teigen, whom he married in 2013. He retired it from his live shows around 2015 as he leaned into songs about being a devoted family man.
• Legend wrote and produced "Alright" with Kanye West, who was also his label boss. The song is part of his debut album Get Lifted, the first release on West's GOOD Music label.
  
  West and Legend started working together around 2002, working behind the scenes for other artists before going solo. West first solo album, The College Dropout, was also released in 2004, about 10 months before Get Lifted.
• There's a horn section on this track that includes a trombone and a tuba, giving it a marching band flavor. That's something Kanye West often brought to his productions.
