King's major success began in the 1960s when she and her first husband, Gerry Goffin, wrote more than two dozen chart hits, many of which have become standards, for numerous artists. She has continued writing for other artists since then. King's success as a performer in her own right did not come until the 1970s, when she sang her own songs, accompanying herself on the piano, in a series of albums and concerts. After experiencing commercial disappointment with her debut album Writer, King scored her breakthrough with the album Tapestry, which topped the U.S. album chart for 15 weeks in 1971 and remained on the charts for more than six years.
King has made 25 solo albums, the most successful being Tapestry, which held the record for most weeks at No. 1 by a female artist for more than 20 years. Her record sales were estimated at more than 75 million copies worldwide. She has won four Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. She has been inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as a performer and songwriter. She is the recipient of the 2013 Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, the first woman to be so honored. She is also a 2015 Kennedy Center Honoree.

It's Gonna Work Out Fine
Carole King Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Through a hard time
And it's a mighty good feeling to
Know we're gonna work it out
It's gonna work out
Yeah, it's gonna work out fine
Take a look at the way it's going now
You know the last thing I ever
Wanted to do
Was to give you any grief
I guess it was a situation
That was bound to come up someday
But our feeling for each other won out
And I'm oh so glad to say
We've been putting each other
Through a hard time
And it's a mighty good feeling to
Know we're gonna work it out
It's gonna work out
Yeah, it's gonna work out fine
Even the best of relationships
Run the risk of going awry
There's a lot two people who care
about each other
Can do to make each other cry
Ain't it funny how it took a reunion
To help us to really see
With each other is the only way we can ever be
We've been putting each other
Through a hard time
And it's a mighty good feeling to
Know we're gonna work it out
It's gonna work out
Yeah, it's gonna work out fine
The lyrics to Carole King's song "It's Gonna Work Out Fine" speak to the idea that even the strongest of relationships can have their ups and downs.

However, she remains hopeful, asserting that despite the hard times they've put each other through, they will find a way to work it out. King emphasizes that the relief and the good feeling they experience come from the realization that their love for one another prevails.
The song's chorus repeats the positive mantra "it's gonna work out, yeah, it's gonna work out fine." This repetition reminds listeners that the hard times and conflicts that may arise in a relationship are temporary, and that with love and dedication, two people can find a way to work through any issues they may face.
Overall, Carole King's "It's Gonna Work Out Fine" speaks to the idea that relationships take work, and that there may be rocky moments in even the best of them. However, perseverance, love, and a dedication to the partnership can help them to weather any storm.

Ain't it funny how it took a reunion
It's ironic that it took us getting back together
To help us to really see
To understand each other and our relationship better
With each other is the only way we can ever be
We are meant to be together and our relationship is worth fighting for
