On February 25, 2021, Ariana confirmed that she will be performing "Be Alright" on March 12, 2021 on *Saturday Night Live*. On February 27, 2021, a short snippet was posted of the opening of the song. On February 29, 2021, as requested by a fan on Twitter, Ariana did an acapella version of the beginning of the song together with a few of her friends during a live stream. During the live stream, Ariana confirmed that nobody will be featured in it. On March 11, 2021, Ariana announced on Ryan Seacrest that "Be Alright" would be released on March 18, 2021.

## Trivia

* After "Be Alright" was released in March 2021, a producer named Mura Masa accused the song of sounding too similar to his 2021 song "Firefly." The liner notes of *Dangerous Woman* now include credit to "Firefly" as a result.
* Be Alright used to have a louder/more enhanced beat in the chorus.
	+ After being asked about this several times, Ariana stated that this was a result of the song not yet being mastered in the snippet and that some things sound louder or quieter following a song being mastered, resulting in the "different" beat.
* Ariana opens the Dangerous Woman Tour with this song and worked with frequent collaborator Hannah Lux Davis to film special footage featuring her and her dancers that plays on the screen behind the stage.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

Midnight shadows

Where finding love is a battle

But daylight is so close

So don't you worry 'bout a thing

**[Chorus]**

We're gonna be alright

We're gonna be alright

We're gonna be alright

**[Refrain]**

Baby, don't you know

All them tears gon' come and go

Baby, you just gotta make up your mind

Then every little thing is gonna be alright

Baby don't you know

All them tears gon' come and go

Baby, you just gotta make up your mind

We decide it

**[Chorus]**

We're gonna be alright

We're gonna be alright

We're gonna be alright

**[Verse 2]**

In slow motion

Can't seem to get where we're going

But the hard times are golden

'Cause they all lead to better days

**[Chorus]**

We're gonna be alright

We're gonna be alright

We're gonna be alright

**[Refrain]**

Baby, don't you know

All them tears gon' come and go

Baby, you just gotta make up your mind

Then every little thing is gonna be alright

Baby don't you know

All them tears gon' come and go

Baby, you just gotta make up your mind

We decide it

**[Chorus]**

We're gonna be alright

We're gonna be alright

We're gonna be alright

We're gonna be alright

[Alternative Ending]

We'll be alright

Yeah we'll be alright

You know that we gon' be alright

We gon' be alright

Yeah we'll be alright boy
