It's stuck in my mind but I can't figure out the name, it's a positive song and the lyrics "be alright, be alright, be alright" and "i can be whatever you want me to be" or "you can be whatever you want to be".

does anyone know what im talking about?
Thank you x

At first I thought it was dean lewis - be alright, but I can’t find the second line in the lyrics for that…

pinkoverall · 05/07/2023 22:38

it's older than dean lewis' i'd say 90s or earlier. Sung by a man

You’ve got me doing intensive research right now. It lasts it’s distracting me from online shopping

Bob Marley ?

countdowntonap · 05/07/2023 22:49

Super grass?

Now I have bad guys from bugsy malone stuck in my head.

LittleRedYoshi · 05/07/2023 22:50

More recent than you've said, but the lyrics sound like George Ezra - Anyone For You. "I could love you, I could be anything you want of me..."

LuckyPeonies · 05/07/2023 22:51

End of the line by traveling Willburies?

Bodybop · 05/07/2023 22:51

Ultra Nate Free

dansha · 05/07/2023 22:51

Oh just seen sung by a man 🤔

pinkoverall · 05/07/2023 22:52

None of these but it sounds kinda similar to End of the line by traveling Willburies a little bit

Or maybe CuriousGeorge was right with East17

OMG I somehow skipped this. You are right! This is the one! Thank you so much

I'm a massive idiot, the lyrics say "Be your light
Be your light" not "be alright" and it wasn't from the 90s, I'm so sorry.
