Chandra Evokes Inspiration with Anthem's New Single "It's OK"
Chandra hails from the vibrant city of Bristol, England and has done it again with their new single “It's OK," an uplifting pop-rock anthem that turns self-doubt into a celebration. “It's OK" features bright melodic guitars and vibrant energy, plus a chorus you’ll want to shout at the top of your lungs. It's a song that reinforces that, sometimes, the bravest thing we can do is just openly admit we are not always fine, and that’s totally fine.
Written by frontman Chandra Nair with Chris Wong and Mike Paul, “It’s OK" encapsulates the essence of the band: big hooks, bigger heart. Produced, mixed and mastered by Elliot Vaughan, while this song wades through a third dimension of emotional sincerity, the best aspects of modern pop-rock polish shine through. It's punchy, yet uplifting and human, giving the right balance to sonic gloss and lyrical sincerity. Vaughan’s muscular production ensures that everything is tight and driving, while his drumming gives the steady, anthemic heartbeat of the track.
“It’s OK” is a musical passport, a three-minute liberation for everyone struggling with the social stress of fitting in or feeling inadequate. Chandra’s message is simple yet impactful; we all have our own timing in life, and it’s OK to trip up along the way. The lyrics are empathetic and self-affirming, reflecting Chandra’s own journey dealing with expectations and discovering liberation in self-sufficiency. “And it used to really get me down because I felt like there was an expectation for me to do the same,” Nair recalls about the social pressures of society. “ But eventually I learned to have faith in myself and realize that I was on my own journey and didn’t need to have my life’s timeline dictated to me… this song is for the person who has ever felt in that dark place, and it’s always OK to not be OK.”
“It’s OK” lives somewhere in between the shimmering pop energy of Imagine Dragons and the earnest rock vigor of The Killers. With its catchy “do-do-do” and gratifying ascension to the chorus, it will feel immediately familiar to you, as music developed for late nights in cars and belting sing-alongs with friends.
Building on their past singles "Overload" and "Just With You," "It's OK" furthers Chandra's 2025 journey with Rexius Records of releasing music full of emotional weight and meaning every couple of months. With over 200,000 streams and more and more people discovering them, the band has quickly begun to establish itself as one of the UK's most uplifting and genuine acts.
"It's OK" isn't just a song, but a moment of release, affirmation and hope. With a staggering melody and an affirmative message, Chandra invites you everywhere to breathe, dance, and remember: it's OK, even when life gets heavy.
