The hook, "We gon' be alright!" allowed Lamar to use the symbolism inherent to spur the rest of the song's lyrics that eventually resonated with an entire movement. Īfter creating the beat, Pharrell Williams came up with a hook six months later, which inspired Lamar to find the right lyrics. In 2019, it was named the best song of the 2010s by Pitchfork. The song was associated with Black Lives Matter after several youth-led protests were heard chanting the chorus, with some publications such as Rolling Stone, People, and Complex calling "Alright" the "unifying soundtrack" of the movement. It was also nominated for a MTV Video Music Award for Video of the Year.
"Alright" received four nominations at the 58th Grammy Awards: Song of the Year, Best Music Video, Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song, winning the latter two. Most music publications considered it among the best songs and videos of the year, highlighting their message in the social context of the time.
"Alright" was released to radio stations as the album's fourth single on June 30, 2015. Lyrically a festive song about hope amid personal struggles, it features uncredited vocals from the song's co-producer Pharrell Williams during the chorus.
" Alright" is a song by American rapper Kendrick Lamar, taken from his third studio album, To Pimp a Butterfly (2015).
