"It's Alright Now" is a song by British band The Beloved, released in October 1990 by EastWest as a single from their remix album, Blissed Out (1990). It is both written and produced by the group's frontman Jon Marsh, and became a top-50 hit in the UK, peaking at number 48 on the UK Singles Chart.
Pan-European magazine Music & Media commented, "Soft-spoken vocals and basic beats and basslines produce a song that is very close to New Order-type of moody dance pop."[2] Nick Robinson from Music Week wrote that this track finds the duo "retouching a track that doesn't sound that dissimilar to their previous singles and recent works by fellow Mancunians Cabaret Voltaire. Undemanding, mellow house grooves that sort of drift in and out with a degree of style. A hit but not a big one."[3]
