Alright is een nummer van de Britse singer-songwriter Sam Fender uit 2022. Het is de achtste single van zijn tweede studioalbum Seventeen Going Under, waarvan het op de deluxe versie verscheen.

Oorspronkelijk was het nummer een B-kantje dat ter gelegenheid van Record Store Day 2022 op vinyl werd uitgebracht. "Alright" opent met een combinatie van piano en gitaar die vrolijk maar weemoedig klinkt. Tekstueel gaat het nummer over opgroeien en ouder worden. Het nummer was in het Verenigd Koninkrijk niet heel succesvol, het bereikte daar de 71e positie. In Nederland bereikte de plaat een 24e positie in de Tipparade.

Seventeen Going Under is the second studio album by English musician Sam Fender. The album was released on 8 October 2021 through Polydor Records. The album explores Fender's upbringing and how it has impacted who he is today, exploring both his outward nihilism as well as his internal self-examination. Three singles were released ahead of the album: the title track, "Get You Down" and "Spit of You".

The album received universal acclaim from music critics and was also a commercial success becoming Fender's second number one album in the UK Albums Chart and Scottish albums chart. It also peaked at number 4 in the Irish albums chart. NME named Seventeen Going Under the best album of 2021, topping their year-end list, and was named the best indie rock album of 2021 by PopMatters. The album also received a nomination at the 42nd Brit Awards in the British Album of the Year category and won the awards for Best Album by a UK Artist and Best Album in the World at the 2022 NME Awards. The album was nominated for the 2022 Mercury Prize.
