Okay (Nivea song)

"Okay" is a song by American singer Nivea, released on October 19, 2004, as the lead single from her second studio album Complicated (2005). It features American rapper Lil Jon and American hip-hop duo YoungBloodZ.

Background

"Okay" was written by Nivea along with The-Dream, Traci Hale and Lil Jon as well as J-Bo and Sean Paul from YoungBloodZ. Conceived by Nash, the song was initially intended to be recorded by Jennifer Lopez, with Nivea laying down vocals for a demo version. He liked her version so much that he spoke out against the efforts of several Jive Records executives to place the song on Ciara's debut album Goodies (2004).

Composition

"Okay" is an crunk song.

Critical reception

In a review of Complicated, Angie Romero of Vibe wrote that Nivea "falls back on the usual tricks of the trade", regarding the appearances of Lil Jon and YoungBloodZ as an example.
