I'm Not Okay (I Promise)

Encyclopedia : I : IM : IMN : I'm Not Okay (I Promise)


"I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" was the 2004 debut single by American rock band My Chemical Romance, lifted from the same year's album Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. It reached #86 in the US singles charts, and #19 in the United Kingdom. The song's lyrics deal with emotional issues relating to relationship break-ups, in particular lead singer Gerard Way's high school experiences of adolescent loneliness and angst. The song is accompanied by a memorable video depicting life inside a fictional American high school in the form of a fake movie trailer. The song's overtly sentimental lyrics ushered people to label the band as "emo". The song was re-released in November 2005.

This song was included in the EA Trax listing for racing game
