Background
Template:More citations needed section The song was written by band members Tom Fletcher, Dougie Poynter and Danny Jones. The single started its life out as two tracks, one written by Jones and the other by Fletcher and then by placing their "best" parts of their songs together, they had written I'll Be OK. In an interview, Tom Fletcher stated "It gives people a positive message, by saying that you should always reassure yourself, even when things do go wrong".Script error: No such module "Unsubst". The single also includes a new track—"No Worries"—written by former Busted members Charlie Simpson and James Bourne.
The opening of the song is similar to the opening "Won't Get Fooled Again" by the Who, who McFly were influenced by at the time.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Another of The Who's songs, "Pinball Wizard", was also covered by McFly for an "I'll Be OK" B-side.
Music video
The music video features the band in various situations that are considered bad, sometimes following along with the lyrics. The video also shows the band on a rooftop playing their instruments. The video is said to have taken inspiration from the 2004 song "The Love of Richard Nixon" by Manic Street Preachers.[1]
