"It's Alright" was a slight return by Eurythmics to the electronic-based sounds of their earlier albums. Driven by a subtle drum machine track, Lennox sings a straightforward ode to a lover returning to her after a long absence. The song's music video was a mix of live shots with computer animation, an innovative look for a music video in the mid 1980s.

The single was a top-twenty hit in the UK, where it peaked at number twelve (Eurythmics' tenth top-forty hit in the UK singles chart). The song was not a success in the United States, stalling at number seventy-eight on the Billboard Hot 100.
