"Am I Okay?" is a song by American country music singer Megan Moroney. The song was released on August 26, 2024, as the lead single from her second studio album of the same name.[1][2] Moroney wrote the song with Jessie Jo Dillon and Luke Laird, and it was produced by Kristian Bush.[1]
The titular and opening track from its parent album, "Am I Okay?" has a "poppy, tempo-driven beat" and is a lyrical pivot from Moroney's staple of "turbulent love songs", finding the singer instead comically checking her pulse and reaffirming that the unusual feelings she's experiencing are those of a "healthy romantic love".[3] In an interview on Today's Country Radio with Kelleigh Bannen on Apple Music Country,[4] Moroney said the song took inspiration from a past relationship: "People are probably going to think it's going to be a heart-wrenching song, but it's just not. It's like you're actually happy for once and you're asking yourself, 'Oh my God, am I okay?' And yeah, that's how I felt at one time. I think it lasted ... I think that when I had hope in a relationship with this guy, it lasted for a month or two until he showed [his] true colors. But we live and we learn. We got a good song out of it".[1]
