Song Information
The song was written by band members Tom Fletcher, Dougie Poynter and Danny Jones. The single started its life out as two tracks, one written by Jones and the other by Fletcher and then by placing their "best" parts of their songs together, they had written I'll Be OK. In an interview, Tom Fletcher stated "It gives people a positive message, by saying that you should always reassure yourself, even when things do go wrong." The single also includes a new track -"No Worries" - written by former Busted members Charlie Simpson and James Bourne.
The opening of the song is similar to the opening "Won't Get Fooled Again" by The Who, who McFly were influenced by at the time. "Pinball Wizard" by The Who was also covered by McFly for an "I'll Be OK" B-side.

Famous quotes containing the words song and/or information:
“There’s something wonderfully exciting about the quiet sing song of an aeroplane overhead with all the guns in creation lighting out at it, and searchlights feeling their way across the sky like antennae, and the earth shaking snort of the bombs and the whimper of shrapnel pieces when they come down to patter on the roof.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“On the breasts of a barmaid in Sale
Were tattooed the prices of ale;
And on her behind
For the sake of the blind
Was the same information in Braille.”
