Background
"Okay" was written by Nivea along with The-Dream, Traci Hale and Lil Jon as well as J-Bo and Sean Paul from YoungBloodZ.[2] Conceived by Nash, the song was initially intended to be recorded by Jennifer Lopez,[3] with Nivea laying down vocals for a demo version.[3] He liked her version so much that he spoke out against the efforts of several Jive Records executives to place the song on Ciara's debut album Goodies (2004).[3]
