Lewis said: "'Be Alright' is actually written about a few different relationships, some were mine and some from friends, I took little bits and pieces from each experience and combined them into one song." He added: "For people worried about me cause the song's so sad — trust me I'm OK… the song is actually about hope and knowing that in the end things will work out, surrounding yourself with good people."[3] Lyrically, the song is about dealing with a breakup and the reality that you have to move on.

Reception
Allison Gallagher from The Brag Magazine called the song "stunning" and "gut-wrenching", saying, "A frank and fairly candid meditation on romantic betrayal and moving past pain, Lewis delivers his lyrics above a relatively sparse, stripped back instrumentation. Punctuated with a swelling, hopeful chorus, 'Be Alright' is the kind of slow-burning balladry that's equal parts uplifting and devastating."[9] RJ Frometa from Vents Magazine said, " perfectly captures gut-wrenching heartbreak that comes with the hardships of a break-up. But while it deals candidly with anguish, the chorus swells with hope; a recognition that this pain is only temporary."[citation needed] auspOp called the song "a cracker", adding that "Be Alright" "feels like a big, bold step up."[10]
