Jelly Roll proclaims "I Am Not Okay"

Wednesday, June 12, 2024 – Jelly Roll today released his new single "I Am Not Okay" off his forthcoming new album, expected later this year.

This is the first official release of new music for the Nashville native singer/songwriter since his "Whitsitt Chapel" CD came out on June 2, 2023.

Written by Jelly, "I Am Not Okay", released via BBR Music Group/BMG in partnership with Republic Records, follows his Grammy-nominated multi-week number one, "Save Me," and his last single, "Halfway to Hell." Earlier this week, ""Halfway to Hell" claimed the top spot on the country radio charts, marking his fourth consecutive number one at country radio via Stoney Creek Records and fifth career chart topper.

Lyrics are:
I am not okay
I'm barely gettin' by
I'm losin' track of days
And losin' sleep at night
I am not okay 'm hangin' on the rails
So if I say I'm fine
Just know I've learned to hide it well
I know I can't be the only one
Who's holdin' on for dear life
But God knows, I know
When it's all said and done
I'm not okay
But it's all gonna be all right
It's not okay
But we're all gonna be all right
I woke up today
I almost stayed in bed
Had the devil on my back
cAnd voices in my head
Some days it ain't all bad
Some days it all gets worse
Some days I swear I'm better off
Layin' in that dirt
I know I can't be the only one
Who's holdin' on for dear life
But God knows, I know
When it's all said and done 'm not okay
But it's all gonna be all right
It's not okay
But we're all gonna be all right
Gonna be all right
Gonna be all right
I know one day
We'll see the other side
The pain'll wash away
In a holy water tide
And we all gonna be all right
I know I can't be the only one
Who's holdin' on for dear life
But God knows, I know
When it's all said and done
I'm not okay
But it's all gonna be all right
It's not okay
But we're all gonna be all right
I'm not okay
But it's all gonna be all right

CD review - Whitsitt Chapel Jelly Roll sings about spiritual warfare in his soul consistently on "Whitsitt Chapel." So, if you're looking for silly country love songs and frat boy drinking tunes, you may want to keep moving on. In addition to performing country music, Jelly Roll also raps some. In fact, he's joined by rapper Yelawolf on "Unlive" here. However, this album is a lot more country than you might expect it to be. The hit single "Save Me," which features Lainey Wilson (who is ...
