Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing

Tori Kelly's rendition of "Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing" is a soulful reassurance that addresses the common anxieties and challenges people face in life. The song, originally by Stevie Wonder, is a message of comfort and encouragement, suggesting that despite the difficulties and 'things' everyone has to deal with, one should not be overly concerned or stressed about these issues.

The lyrics speak to the listener in a nurturing tone, almost like a mother or a close friend, advising not to worry about the judgments of others ('They say your style of life's a drag') or to be deceived by false appearances ('When you get fooled by smiling faces'). The song emphasizes the importance of personal growth and self-discovery ('Everybody needs a change, A chance to check out the new'). It suggests that the only person who can truly understand and enact change in one's life is oneself ('You're the only one who sees, The changes you can take yourself through').

The repeated phrase 'Don't you worry 'bout a thing' serves as a comforting mantra, reinforcing the idea that no matter what happens, things will work out in the end. The presence of a supportive figure (''Cause I'll be standing on the side') provides a sense of security and companionship, further easing the listener's mind. The song's upbeat and vibrant rhythm complements its positive message, making it an anthem for optimism and resilience.
