Songfacts®:

  • Lauren Daigle's "Be Okay" is a hug in song form. It reminds you that you don't have to weather life's storms alone – there's a powerful source of love and strength out there, always with you.

    "Whatever hardship you may be going through - in joy or sorrow, in strength and weakness - there is a promise that we can hold on to that God works together good things for our good," Daigle Told New Release Today. "You may be feeling like you don't have purpose on this earth, or you don't know what your reason for being here is, but I promise you it will all be okay."
  • A brave little girl battling cancer inspired the song. Lauren, touched by her story, teamed up with her friend Ellie Holcomb of Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors to write a message of comfort for her.
  • Mike Elizondo, who's worked with Twenty One Pilots and Carrie Underwood, produced the track. Lauren's warm vocals, paired with Grant Pittman's piano, create a wave of calm. As the song progresses, saxophone melodies by Rahsaan Barber, Jimmy Bowland, Jeff Coffin, and Evan Cobb create a peaceful and hopeful mood.
  • Lauren Daigle performed "Be Okay" live on The Today Show on October 20, 2023.
