It's Alright, It's OK (Ashley Tisdale song)

"It's Alright, It's OK" was written by top songwriter/producer Joacim Persson, Niclas Molinder and produced by Swedish music production team Twin. The song was released as the album's lead single on April 14, 2009, in the United States in airplay and digital formats. Tisdale premiered the single on On Air with Ryan Seacrest. She described the song as a message she wanted to get across the other girls. The official remixes were by Dave Audé, Johnny Vicious, Jason Nevins and Von Doom; the Audé remix used a sample of Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus" as most of the backing track, and the Von Doom remix used one of "Hot n Cold" by Katy Perry. The song is included in the compilation albums The Dome Summer 2009 and Bravo Hits Vol.66. The song is a spunky break-up anthem about being single and in control of your life for the first time.— "I love break-up songs," Tisdale admits during the press release of the single. She described the song as a message she wanted to get across the other girls. ==Critical reception==

Nick Levine of Digital Spy said: :'It's Alright, It's OK', the lead single from album number two, is certainly a step in the right direction. It sees Tisdale come across like Kelly Clarkson's spunky little sister, delivering an "I'm so much better without you" message over a radio-friendly pop/rock backing. There's nothing remotely original here, but the big chanty chorus hits the spot like a slice of pizza after a heavy night out.(). Stephanie Bruzzese of Commonsense Media stated: :Her message about lost love will undoubtedly strike a chord with many of her young fans who've experienced their own heartaches. The uncomplicated lyrics give an honest yet clean account of getting over someone who's deceived you....Cookie-cutter is the term that comes to mind when listening to this track...Tisdale's voice is passable exceptional...The mildly catchy hooks sound a lot like those in Kelly Clarkson's single "My Life Would Suck Without You", but because Tisdale's vocal chops are nowhere near as strong as Clarkson's, this single lacks overall oomfph."
