Taking the stage at the FireAid benefit concert, Jelly Roll delivered a heartfelt and soul-stirring performance of his chart-topping hit, “I Am Not Okay.”
Released in June 2024 as the lead single from his album Beautifully Broken, the song was co-written with Taylor Phillips, Ashley Gorley, and Casey Brown. It sheds light on mental health struggles, offering a message of raw honesty and resilience. While the lyrics acknowledge the pain of not being okay, they also carry a powerful sense of hope and healing.
The song resonated deeply with fans, climbing to #1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart and reaching #14 on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100. It also earned two Grammy nominations for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance. Jelly Roll will find out if he takes home the awards at the 2025 Grammys on February 2.
A Powerful Moment at FireAid
With the Grammy Awards scaled back due to the devastating wildfires in the Los Angeles area, this year’s ceremony has taken on a new purpose—raising funds for wildfire relief efforts and honoring first responders. As part of that mission, the FireAid benefit concert was held on January 30th at the Kia Forum and Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.
The event featured an all-star lineup, including No Doubt, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Sting. Representing country music, Jelly Roll took the stage and delivered a deeply personal rendition of “I Am Not Okay,” captivating the audience with his emotional delivery and heartfelt lyrics.
The atmosphere was electric as fans connected with every word. The vulnerability in Jelly Roll’s performance made the moment even more powerful, reinforcing why the song has meant so much to so many.
To close out his set, he invited Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker to join him for a high-energy performance of Bob Seger’s “Hollywood Nights.” The crowd erupted in excitement as the two artists brought rock and country together in a thrilling collaboration.
Jelly Roll continues to inspire fans with his music and message, proving once again why he’s one of country’s most impactful voices.
