His debut album, 'Replay', came out on 4 June 2010. Although follow-up singles "Solo" and "So Big" couldn't quite reach the same success, bringing up fan concerns that Iyaz had peaked too early, they also received extensive radio airplay. After performing and collaborating with other artists such as Big Time Rush and Mann, a second album release was expected in late 2013 but has unfortunately been delayed.
Iyaz is known for making lilting reggae-infused R&B melodies inspired by island shorties, wireless romance, and the anguish of unrequited love. The 26-year-old singer, songwriter, and rapper has aimed to strike a balance between radio-friendliness and finding his own voice. His fans eagerly anticipate his sophomore work.
Ok
Iyaz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or an Amanda
All that I know is that you're beautiful
You look like you should be a Tina
Or a Selena
So why you alone girl I just wanna know
Girl I don't know what your name is
I really don't know what your man did
But he left you with a frown
I know it might sound a little crazy
But please let me inside
I really don't know what the case is
But I want you to dry your eyes
No woman, no cry (no cry)
Cause tonight is gonna be alright
You gonna be OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK
No woman, no cry (no cry)
Cause tonight I'm gonna make it right
We gonna be OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK
Everything's gonna be OK
No woman, no cry
You look like you could be a Lisa
Or a Theresa
I don't think you know but you should be with me
You look like you could be a Lindsay
Maybe an Ashley
I'm in no hurry, I'm waiting patiently
Girl I don't know what your name is
But I see you looking down
I really don't know what your man did
But he left you with a frown
I know it might sound a little crazy
But please let me inside
I really don't know what the case is
But I want you to dry your eyes
No woman, no cry (no cry)
Cause tonight is gonna be alright
You gonna be OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK
No woman, no cry (no cry)
Cause tonight I'm gonna make it right
We gonna be OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK
Everything's gonna be OK
Oh every time he breaks your heart
I'll take your pain away
Don't you cry, don't you don't you cry
I just want to chase those clouds and bring you brighter days
Don't you cry, don't you don't you cry
Don't you cry, don't you don't you cry
Don't you cry, don't you don't you cry
Don't you cry, don't you don't you cry
Don't you cry
Because
It's OK
No woman, no cry
(baby don't you cry no more)
Cause tonight is gonna be alright
You gonna be OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK
No woman, no cry
(baby don't you cry no more)
Cause tonight I'm gonna make it right
We gonna be OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK,
Everything's gonna be OK
No woman, no cry
The lyrics of Iyaz's song "Ok" express the singer's interest in a woman he finds beautiful, who seems to be going through a tough time with her man. He suggests that they can find solace together and assures her that everything will be fine. He doesn't know her name but believes that they could make a good match based on her looks and the vibe he gets from her. He tells her not to cry because he's there for her and intends to make things right.
The chorus "No woman, no cry" is a reference to Bob Marley's song of the same name, and it means that if there are no women crying, everything will be alright. Iyaz uses this to console the woman and to emphasize the idea that together they can make things better. The song's upbeat melody contrasts with the vulnerable lyrics and gives the impression that the singer is trying to uplift the woman's spirits by distracting her and making her feel good.
Overall, the lyrics of "Ok" show a romantic interest in someone who needs comfort and support. They also convey the message that it's alright to be vulnerable and emotional, and that there's always hope for a better tomorrow.
