Jelly Roll has been very open about his own struggles with drug and alcohol abuse when he was younger, so when he saw someone who had stayed sober for so long, he made sure to take a moment to celebrate them.

“I Am Not Okay” stands as one of Jelly Roll’s most candid and emotionally potent songs. Debuting on The Voice and supported by poignant storytelling and rich musical arrangement, the track has become a modern anthem for mental health awareness—offering solidarity, honesty, and hope.
