"When It's Alright" is a song by English singer Sam Smith, released as their second single on 2 April 2009.[1][2]
Background
In February 2009, Venus & Mars Music released promotional singles of "When It's Alright" in the United Kingdom.[2] While it was a pop-soul track in its original form, "When It's Alright" had received remix treatment by Kinky Roland, Per Qx and Kid Massive, and was serviced to club DJs.[2] The remixes transformed the song into a deep house club track.[2] While "When It's Alright" hadn't quite broken into the mainstream, it was gaining positive reviews.[2] Eventually, a German dance label Kosmo Records approached Venus & Mars Music and signed a worldwide license deal for the track.[2] "When It's Alright" was re-promoted in April 2009 with new remixes by German producer, Tom Novy.[2]
