"It's Alright" is a single from Queen Latifah's 1998 album Order In The Court. The single was released in 1997. Like 1994's "Weekend Love," this was one of Latifah's first singles to feature only her singing, with no rap vocals. The song is anchored by a sample of Alicia Myers' 1981 proto-disco hit "I Want To Thank You." The song originally appeared on the soundtrack to the 1997 film Nothing to Lose. The song was included on Latifah's Order In The Court album the following year with slight changes.
The original version of the song that appears on the soundtrack to Nothing To Lose features background vocals by Faith Evans. This version was also used for the music video and it was shot in July 1997. The version which appears on Order in the Court Lil Mo sings background vocals.
