Synth-pop group LANY have released a new track, Okay, with Julia Michaels. The anthemic song features Michaels and LANY frontman Paul Klein on vocals over a rumbling instrumental of xx-style electric guitars and underwater synths. Lyrically, Okay describes recent breakups that the two protagonists have gone through, and light reassurance that theyll make it through the bitter aftermath: Im gonna be okay, right?/I wish I could tell myself that at night.
Of the writing of the song, Michaels told Zane Lowe of Beats 1, It was a pretty intense day. Emotionally, we had both been going through a lotand it was our first time really even meeting. So when you have that time together, and then youre like, Okay, lets spill everything out on the table, it can get a little heavy. There was a point where [Paul] looked at me, very serious, and said, Im going to be okay, right? And I was like, Oof, we have to write this.'
