Lewis said: "'Be Alright' is actually written about a few different relationships, some were mine and some from friends, I took little bits and pieces from each experience and combined them into one song." He added: "For people worried about me cause the song's so sad — trust me I'm OK… the song is actually about hope and knowing that in the end things will work out, surrounding yourself with good people." Lyrically, the song is about dealing with a breakup and the reality that you have to move on.
