"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.
"Okay" was written by Nivea along with The-Dream,Traci Hale and Lil Jon as well as J-Bo and Sean Paul from YoungBloodZ. [2] Conceived by Nash,the song was initially intended to be recorded by Jennifer Lopez, [3] with Nivea laying down vocals for a demo version. [3] 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). [3]
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. [5]
