MxPx put "I'm OK, You're OK" on their 1998 album Slowly Going the Way of the Buffalo, and it's a sprint from the first count-in. Mike Herrera wrote it, sings it and drives it from the bass, Yuri Ruley's drums go off like a string of firecrackers, and Tom Wisniewski's guitar buzzes bright and bratty underneath.
Steve Kravac produced and mixed it, keeping everything clean enough for the radio and fast enough for the skate park, and the backing vocals, with Wisniewski and guest Dale Yob chiming in, turn the chorus into a shout-along. It's melodic punk with its sleeves rolled up and its heart right out front.
