"Everything Is Alright" kicked off Motion City Soundtrack's second album, Commit This to Memory, as its lead single in 2005, and it's a nervy little anthem about obsessive, neurotic thinking and social anxiety, the kind of song that turns every worry into a hook. Mark Hoppus produced it, Ryan Hewitt co-produced and recorded it, and Tom Lord-Alge mixed, giving the jittery emo underneath a bright, radio-ready shine.
Fall Out Boy frontman Patrick Stump turns up on backing vocals, alongside Patrick Carrie and Robb Maclean. The song landed in the 2005 film Bad News Bears and the games MLB 06: The Show and Saints Row, it has stayed in the band's live shows ever since, and it's generally held up as their signature song. The RIAA certified it gold in 2017.
