"It's Alright" is a 1993 dance-pop song by English boy band East 17. It begins with a slow ballad-like intro for the first minute, before converting to the dance sound for the rest of the track. "It's Alright" became a smash hit in Australia in 1994 where it hit No. 1 for seven weeks in a row and ended the year as the 4th highest selling single.

The song was also highly successful in various countries around Europe. It was a number-one hit in France, Ireland and Switzerland. Also, in the UK Singles Chart where it reached No. 3 and in the German Singles Charts where it reached No. 2.

The song has received a Silver sales status certification for sales of over 200,000 copies in the UK.

The song came back to the public eye in February 2009, with the yoghurt company Müller playing "It's Alright" as the background song for their new advert. In the same year, it was featured in another advert, this time for More Th>n car insurance. In 2010, it was also used in the final montage in the series-ending episode of Big Brother's Big Mouth in the United Kingdom.

In June 2015 the song was featured in an advertisement for the mobile network 3, in which it is lip-synched by a purple puppet.
