"Everything's Gonna Be Alright" is a song by German group Sweetbox. It was released in September 1997 as the second single from the album Sweetbox, the only album that had Tina Harris as the group's frontwoman. The song is based on "Air on the G string" from Suite No. 3 by Johann Sebastian Bach. "Everything's Gonna Be Alright" is the most successful song of Sweetbox worldwide. It reached the top five in Austria, France, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Outside Europe the song reached number 46 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

Critical reception

Billboard wrote about the song: "This inventive hip-hop effort has already topped pop charts in more than a dozen European countries, and it will likely enjoy similar success here. American-born rapper Tina Harris makes a poetic debut on a track that combines slick, time-sensitive beats with portions of 'Air" from Suite No. 3 by J.S. Bach. But while a lesser producer would simply resort to sampling, producer Geo has enlisted the German Symphony Orchestra to play the classical piece specifically for this recording. It's a move that enriches and elevates the final product. Such musical warmth inspires a heartfelt performance from Harris, who oozes the charisma of a major star."[1]

In 2007, former Sweetbox frontwoman Tina Harris released a new re-recorded version of the song on her album Sunshine, which was only released digitally and was a worldwide re-release of her Japan-only 2003 album Love Makes The World Go Round with the title track and the new version of the Sweetbox hit as new tracks.

In 2009, the new frontwoman Jamie Pineda recorded a version of the song to put on her first Sweetbox album, entitled The Next Generation. This version includes new verses and male vocalist/producer Derek Bramble on the track. Yasutaka Nakata remixed the song as a bonus track for the album.

In 2011, the song was included in the soundtrack of the Japanese movie Paradise kiss. In particular, it was used in the scene of Yukari's parade.

In 2018, Bebe Rexha sampled the song in a few verses of her hit song I’m A Mess.
