Alex Warren has had quite the year thanks to the success of breakthrough single “Ordinary.” And now, the track has found a new home on the TikToker’s debut album You’ll Be Alright, Kid, which finally dropped in full on Friday (July 18).

Featuring all of the tracks on Warren’s 2024 extended play, You’ll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1) — including “Ordinary” — the now-complete collection includes a batch of brand new songs. Among them are previously released singles “Bloodline” featuring Jelly Roll and “On My Mind” with ROSÉ of BLACKPINK, as well as the titles “Eternity,” “The Outside,” “First Time on Earth,” “Never Be Far,” “Everything,” “Getaway Car,” “Who I Am” and “You Can’t Stop This.”

The project arrives as Warren is spending his sixth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Ordinary,” which this past week blocked Drake’s “What Did I Miss?” from reaching the top spot. Drizzy made headlines with his reaction to the placement, writing: “Suppressor on the 1 spot. I’m taking that soon don’t worry one song or another.”

In response, Warren hilariously posted a video of himself dancing to Drake’s “Nokia” with no caption, simply tagging the Toronto native.

The Hot 100 isn’t the only chart the social media star has been dominating, though. “Ordinary” has also racked up a total of 10 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200, though “Golden” from the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack recently dethroned it from the summit.

You’ll Be Alright, Kid comes about four years after Warren dropped his debut single, “One Last I Love You.” The California native first rose to fame as a TikTok influencer, co-founding the platform’s Hype House.

Toronto International Film Festival to Premiere New Documentary on Neil Peart of Rush in 2026

The recently announced film honouring the late Rush drummer will be receiving its world premiere on Sept. 16 along with several additional screenings, ahead of its release on CBC on Sept. 23. Plus, Heated Rivalry's Hudson Williams joins TIFF for its In Conversation With... series.

TIFF is celebrating a Canadian rock music legend. The Toronto International Film Festival has released its full programming, revealing that it will host the world premiere of the forthcoming documentary Neil Peart: No One's Disciple, which was announced by CBC last week. The 106-minute film gathers Peart's Rush bandmates Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, plus other famed drummers like Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Chad Smith, The Police’s Stewart Copeland and Tool’s Danny Carey, all of whom honour the late musician's life, legacy, upbringing and illustrious career as part of one of the biggest Canadian bands of all-time.

"That Peart’s parts are so challenging even for such revered players says a lot about the ingenuity and dexterity he brought to Rush’s music," TIFF programmer Jason Anderson writes of the film. "The performances also become one of several means of commemorating a man who — as Dunn’s film reveals — was equally complex. The remembrances and anecdotes of the musicians and other intimates help fill out the portrait that Dunn creates via archival interviews and other footage."
