"Alright" is the fourth single from American R&B/pop singer Janet Jackson's fourth studio album, Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 (1989).
Alright! is the 7th single released by Japanese singer Ami Suzuki under label Avex Trax. It was released on May 2006 in two formats CD and CD+DVD and the first pressings of the single (only the CD-Only edition) included a limited 32-page photobook.
"Alright"/"Time" is a 1995 double A-side by British rock band Supergrass, released at the height of the Britpop movement. Both tracks were taken from their number 1 debut album I Should Coco.
"Alright"/"Time" was the 5th release from I Should Coco. While "Caught By The Fuzz", "Mansize Rooster", "Lose It" and "Lenny" all charted (with "Lenny" even scraping the Top Ten in the UK Singles Chart) and were warmly received by the critics, it was "Alright"/"Time" - the final release from the album - which proved to be their breakthrough single, largely due to the popularity of the song "Alright" which still receives airplay in the UK. "Alright"/"Time" reached number 2 in the UK Singles Chart , making it Supergrass' highest charting single to date, along with "Richard III". It remained in the top three for a month.
"Alright" received a great deal of air-play in the UK. The "bona fide teen anthem" with its upbeat lyrics and cheerful piano tune seemed to epitomise the feeling in Britain at the time, when Britpop was at its height. The band's youthful appearance (lead singer Gaz Coombes had only just turned 19 when it was released) added weight to the lyrics.
The success of the record was helped by a lively promotional video featuring the band joyfully messing around on bicycles and a bed on wheels at Portmeirion in North Wales. Having seen the video, Steven Spielberg approached the band and proposed that they make work together on a television series in the style of The Monkees. The group turned him down, preferring to work on their second album In It For The Money. Troy Carpenter, co-director of Nude as the News claims "the gesture says a lot about the band's personality — one which has stuck with the group throughout its career — which is basically that of a fun-loving rock group whose undeniable musical talent is sometimes overshadowed by the sheer ebullience of its music. The music video was also a bonus on the VHS tape of the 1995 movie Clueless.
Though it is one of their most popular songs, the band rarely play "Alright" in their live sets anymore, not because they dislike it, but because it would be wrong for a band whose members are now all in their 30s to sing a song of such youthful exuberance. In a 1999 interview, Coombes joked "We don't play "Alright" anymore. We should play it in a minor key, and in the past tense."
The B-side, "Condition" is a cover of "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)" by Mickey Newbury and originally a hit for Kenny Rogers. "Je Suis Votre Papa Sucre" (I Am Your Sugar Daddy) is a short instrumental.
Alright was used in the film Clueless and a commercial for attractions in Orlando, Florida. It was also used as the song during the ending credits of the Jackassworld.com: 24 Hour Takeover.
Alright is a song by Jamiroquai, the fifth track and third single for their 1996 album, Travelling Without Moving. The song was written by Jay Kay. It also appears on their greatest hits collection. It is the group's only single to chart on the US Billboard 100.
