Platinum-selling artist and award-winning songwriter Dante Bowe is looking on the bright side in his new video for ‘okay.’. The video, filmed completely on iPhones during lockdown, follows Dante on an average day after nationwide shutdowns took effect and holds a tone of resounding optimism that things will one day get better.

For ‘okay.,’ Dante enlisted the help of actor and musician Trevor Jackson and co-producer LAEL to create something that everyone can relate to going through their daily lives. '"okay.’ was the first song that sparked the journey for this album,” shares Dante. “I was going through such conflict in my life. In a moment of reflection, these lyrics started pouring out of me. They really embody how I was feeling and how far along I’ve come.”

‘okay.’ is the latest single to be released from Dante’s sophomore album and label debut, circles. The first single ‘joyful’ debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard charts, making it the highest solo charting debut of Dante’s career. It was followed by ‘family tree’ which made its television debut with BET network.

Lyrics:

VERSE 1
It's funny how things change
In ‘bout a span of a year
Guess I didn't see it coming
Now there's blessings in here

When I was younger
Saying prayers to the big man upstairs
I told Him if He walked on water
Then I know I'm secure

I might have ninety-nine problems
But my faith ain't one
And if I always try to solve them
What is faith anyway
I'll be okay, okay (yeah)

CHORUS
Hands up if you feel me now (now, now)
If you know what I'm talkin' ‘bout (know what I'm talkin' ‘bout)
Ain’t no need to try to figure out
What God's already workin' out

Hold tight, don't be worried now (don’t be worried now)
Be cool if it takes a while (if it takes a while)
Ain’t no need to tryna figure out
What God's already workin' out

VERSE 2
Work it out in a million ways
Wiped a million tears from my face
The road ain't always easy
But I never lost my faith (lost my faith)
That's why I gotta say

Worship, two hands up
Shout out to my God
That's my guy for life
Never done me wrong
When I feel like I've had all I can take
Like I'm ‘bout to break
He's the one I call

CHORUS 2
Hands up if you feel me now (put your hands up now)
If you know what I'm talkin' ‘bout (if you know what I'm talkin' about)
Ain’t no need to try to figure out (figure out)
What God's already workin' out (already workin’ out)

Hang tight, don't be worried now (hang tight, hang tight, hold on, hold on)
Be cool if it takes a while (hang tight, hold on, hold on)
Ain’t no need to tryna figure out (figure out)
What God's already workin' out (what He’s already workin’ out)

BRIDGE
When I’m down and out, You’ll be my hero (my hero)
And even if I have to start from zero (from zero)
Even though I know life goes up and down
I’ll sit here and play my piano, aye
Time to talk it’s been much too long since I prayed
I know somehow how I’m alright now too much good not to be okay (somehow, alright now)

CHORUS 3
Hands up if you feel me now (if you feel me now)
If you know what I'm talkin' ‘bout (if you know what I'm talkin' about)
Ain’t no reason to figure out (oh)
What God's already workin' right now (workin’ right now, He’s movin’)

Hang tight, don't be worried now
Be cool if it takes a while (if it takes a while)
Ain’t no reason to figure out
What God's already workin' out
