The song 's lyrics convey a positive message, focusing on taking things in one 's stride and accentuating the positive. The tune is in E ♭ minor, starting with a Latin piano intro. The opening melody is reminiscent of Horace Silver 's `` Song For My Father. '' The song 's second chorus begins with Stevie taking the vocals up an octave with two vocal overdubs singing the same line. He also sings two other background overdub vocals, mimicking a horn line with the Spanish phrase `` Todo ' stá bien chévere '', which, loosely translated, means `` Everything 's really great.
