"Am I Okay?" is about the first blushes of new romance as Megan Moroney falls for a "6'2' dream." The high-octane blend of country, punk, and pop captures the euphoric feeling of being swept off your feet. "People are probably going to think it's going to be a heart-wrenching song, but it's just not," Moroney told Apple Music. "It's like you're actually happy for once and you're asking yourself, 'Oh my God. Am I OK?' That's how I felt at one time. I think that when I had hope in a relationship with this guy, it lasted for a month or two until he showed his true colors. But we live and we learn. We got a good song out of it, and then we moved on." Megan Moroney wrote the song with Jessie Jo Dillon (Cole Swindell's "Break Up In The End," Dan + Shay's "10,000 Hours") and Luke Laird (Carrie Underwood's "So Small," Little Big Town's "Pontoon"). The song is the title track of Megan Moroney's second album. It's a deeply personal record that delves into the complexities of love, loss, and self-discovery. "Am I Okay?" is a refreshing and upbeat contrast to some of the more melancholic themes explored in other tracks on the album. "Sometimes it almost feels like oversharing, but I feel like I have a responsibility to all the people who send me DMs or talk to me at shows and tell me how my songs helped them through a breakup or a bad time in their lives," said Moroney. "If I can write about my heartbreak and make someone else feel like there's a way out, then of course I'm going to keep doing that."

I checked my pulse and my heart's still beating
Exhale, I think I'm still breathing
Both feet on the ground but something's changed

I've been playing less Black Keys, baby
And my friends swear I've gone crazy
I don't know how to act
I don't know what to say

'Cause oh my God, he walked in
Like a 6'2" dream, heaven-sent
He says what he means and he means what he says
And he's funny and he's smart and he's good in (good in)
Maybe love ain't always what it was
Not crying and dying and messing me up
I think I'm really happy, I think I want to stay
Oh my God, am I okay?

Who knew guys still brought flowers
Or picked up a phone before a last call hour?
And not 'cause they cheated and not 'cause they lied
And not 'cause they're sort of sorry after a fight
And wait there's guys that can communicate?
That aren't looking for a heart to break
Always thought hell no, no way

And then oh my God, he walked in
Like a 6'2" dream, heaven-sent
He says what he means and he means what he says
And he's funny and he's smart and he's good in (good in)
Maybe love ain't always what it was
Not crying and dying and messing me up
I think I'm really happy, I think I want to stay
Oh my God, am I okay?

I don't feel like a sad song soundtrack
The old me doesn't know how to feel about that
Am I okay? I think I'm okay

'Cause oh my God, he walked in
Like a 6'2" dream, heaven-sent
He says what he means and he means what he says
And he's funny and he's smart and he's good in (good in)
Maybe love ain't always what it was
Not crying and dying and messing me up
I think I'm really happy, I think I want to stay
Oh my God, am I okay?

I checked my pulse and my heart's still beating
Exhale, I think I'm still breathing
