"Everything's Gonna Be Alright" is a song by German-based music group Sweetbox. It was released in October 1997 as the second single from their debut album, Sweetbox (1998). It was the only album that had American singer Tina Harris as the group's frontwoman, and she also co-wrote the song. It is based on "Air" from Johann Sebastian Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 3, played on the track by the German Symphony Orchestra.
"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 peaked at number 46 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The accompanying music video was directed by Patrick Kiely. See information in the video.
Critical reception Larry Flick from Billboard magazine wrote, "American-born rapper Tina Harris makes a poetic debut on a track that combines slick, time-sensitive beats ... 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."
