I'll Be OK
"I'll Be OK" is the sixth single from the British Pop band McFly. It is the second single to be lifted from their second album Wonderland.
The single produces a new track "No Worries"; written by the bands' Tom Fletcher and former Busted members: Charlie Simpson and James Bourne; where the lyrics have been found but there has been no sign of the audio, till now. The track was produced by Danny at his home studio. It is their fourth Number 1 in the UK singles chart.
The second B-Side; a cover track, of The Who's song "Pinball Wizard" is included; although it is a home recorded track and not performed within a recording studio. The DVD Single allows fans to see a video of "Pinball Wizard" which is composed up of various home videos and a video in which they can be seen performing the track.
- Rumours have reported that McFly will be collaborating with The Who's Roger Daltrey (who is Danny's idol) after he heard McFly's take on "Pinball Wizard" and was impressed. Details of what song and this project are to be confirmed, but McFly have been speaking on GMTV about this possible project. McFly are said to have cancelled a performance to record the track. Also the track is most likey to be a charity single (after their success with raising a large amount for Comic Relief 2005 with their single "All About You"/"You've Got A Friend").
- On the Official Site you can preorder a special version of "I'll Be OK" by Danny and Dougie.
- It has already sold more that their first single "Five Colours In Her Hair".

The Song
Written by band members Tom Fletcher, Dougie Poynter and Danny Jones. The song is a upbeat and uplifting track from their second album. The single started it's life out as two tracks, one written by Danny and the other by Tom. Then by placing their "best" parts of their songs together, they had written I'll Be OK. It gives people a good message, by saying that you should always reassure yourself "Hey, I'll be OK" even when things do go wrong.
The Video
The video is another humorous video from the band, featuring them in various situations that are considered bad luck but always telling themselves that they will be OK, as the track's lyrics say.
Situations include:
- Harry is seen under a very leaky roof - where he got very wet indeed.
- Dougie is hanging on for dear life as he slips off a skyscraper rooftop.
- Danny is seen in a room on his own, down and depressed.
- Tom is on a pavement where he is being trod on.
The video also features the band on the rooftop playing their instruments.
This was shot in front of a green screen.
